Since independence, Pakistan has retained many governmental, bureaucratic, and constitution rules of the British; one such rule is the use of FCR in FATA. FATA, being an essential part of our country, is suffering under this rule after independence. The rights of the people are not granted and they differ and are minimal from the rights of the rest of the country. They don't have their say of their own in the form of provincial assembly. The federal representation from FATA cannot make laws for FATA, making their presence as bogus parliamentarians. It is the president and governor who, kind of, rules on FATA. Thus, to make them out of misery, reforms talks should never be sabotaged on political basis. It is actually politics that refrain them from becoming a province. Merging them with KPK would be good, giving them their own province would be much better. But this has to be solved. Adding another point, Gilgit Baltistan is not a province and it has not been given a constitutional status, so comparing FATA on that model would be unfair. It would also be good to make GB also a complete and full-fledged province.
Both FATA and GB hold great strategic importance for our nation. Developing them would mean that our strategic efficiency would also improve with them.
