on priority basis to foil the game being played by the US against Pakistan through India and Afghanistan. Liaqat Baich said FATA people had risen against the black law of FCR and it was better for the government to implement the recommendations of the Sartaj Aziz committee and provide an opportunity to the tribal people to elect their representatives for the national and the provincial assemblies. He said the FATA’s merger with KP was the consensus demand of the tribal people and there was no need for any referendum on the issue.
He said the government had failed both on domestic and foreign fronts, and in order to remove the unrest and mistrust among the people, it was imperative that the rulers honoured their commitments to the people. He said there was great unrest and resentment among tribal people due to the government’s failure to implement the Sartaj Aziz committee recommendations. He said that the tribal people had made repeated attempts to be free from
the colonial era legacy of FCR but the rulers had so far left them at the mercy of the Political Agents despite their promises to abolish the black law.
