PM directs to delay Fata reforms bill after call by Fazl

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has directed his party lawmakers to delay proceedings on the Fata reforms package in the National Assembly till his return to Pakistan after he had a phone call from Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Fazlur Rehman, sources informed on Wednesday.

The 30th Amendment bill calls for a merger between the tribal areas and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by adding 23 seats for Fata in the KP Assembly. Of Fata's seats, 18 will be general, four reserved for women and one for religious mi**rities.

Geo News, while quoting sources, reported that PM Nawaz -- convinced by the JUI-F chief to suspend further proceedings on the Fata reforms -- called Federal Minister Abdul Qadir Baloch to delay the proceedings on the amendment till his return.

Immediately after the call, Abdul Qadir Baloch invited a delegation of Fata legislators headed by Shah Jee Gul Afridi to inform them that the legislative formalities will **t be put into motion in the next assembly session.

During the meeting, Abdul Qadir Baloch and Fata legislator Shahabuddin exchanged hot words. Sources privy to the meeting said that Abdul Qadir Baloch at one point remarked that if the legislators affiliated with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) don’t agree with the government's view, they can quit the party. During the meeting, lawmakers from Fata complained to the minister of injustice being carried out on the reservations of the JUI-F chief.

Shah Jee Gul Afridi confirmed the details of the meeting and said that the lawmakers from Fata would **t vote for the federal budget 2017-18, adding that the legislators would decide the future course of action in their meeting after the National Assembly session.

The recommendations to bring Fata at par with the rest of the country were approved in the cabinet meeting on Fata reforms on March 2. According to sources, the recommendations will be presented in parliament.

At the meeting, it was decided Fata would be integrated with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The process will take five years as the law and order situation in the tribal areas is **t favourable for major changes in the system. Once Fata is made a part of KP, the province's share in the National Finance Commission will increase, as 3 percent will be for the former. Moreover, benches of the high court and Supreme Court will also be formed in the tribal areas. To include tribesmen in the security services, 20,000 locals will be recruited in the Levies force.
