PARACHINAR May 25 (TNS): The tribals in Kurram Agency’s headquarters celebrated the merger of Federally Administered Tribal Areas into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, as it is considered the source of prosperity after years of lawlessness, war, and the subsequent destruction.
On Thursday, the National Assembly passed Thirty-First Amendment Act, 2018 which merge the tribal areas with KP, bringing it into the ambit of law. The merger promises reforms in the tribal areas, which have been on the back burner for quite a long time.
During a news conference at Parachinar Press Club, Senator Sajjad Turi said the merger is actual freedom for the people of Fata and would pave the way for progress in the northwestern strip.
Other leaders present at the celebratory news conference believed the strategies designed to further restrain tribespeople into deprivation have failed with the passage of the constitutional bill.
Like Pakistan, the tribespeople has attained freedom in Ramazan. Now that the bill was passed, the time had come for implementation of Fata Reforms, the tribal representatives said.
