PESHAWAR, March 14: Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pervez Khattak has given a full sketch of the FATA merger into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa saying that extending the existing law, constitutional and administrative structure to FATA is the reasonable and realistic solution. The merger should neither be delayed nor be obstructed and any interference in this would be against the will of the tribal. Each agency has its own Riwaj that the people practice. The province should be the center of powers. After the merger, controlling the elected members of the merged FATA into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will be against the essence of merger. The Army Chief guaranteed against any excesses and ethnic profiling of Pashtoon in Punjab and IGFC offered trained personnel for induction into Police for policing FATA, he added.
These remarks he made while addressing 100 members representative delegation of FATA Political Alliance at Chief Minister House Peshawar. The Chief Minister assured the Jirga to fight the case of merger of FATA into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in consonance with aspirations of tribal. He said that the britishers left behind a set of draconian laws to forcibly control the people of FATA. – PR
