AOA... The F.C.R. (Frontier Crime Regulations) has its origins in laws that were enacted by the British Raj in the Pashtun-inhabited tribal areas in the Northwest of British India. They were specifically devised to counter the opposition of the Pashtuns to British rule, and their main objective was to protect the interests of the British Empire. Over a century later, the laws continue to be applied to FATA residents by the Government of Pakistan. As everyone among us knows that these TRIBAL agencies were not under the British rule, actually the so called settled areas i.e. of Khyber pukhtunkhwa were under British Raj and this law was enacted for these areas not for the now FATA. It was implemented in FATA after the birth of Pakistan. In the history of FATA all the elected MNAs ( Members of National Assembly) are either from the family of these bureaucrats, who are ruling and exploiting the tribals with both hands or the MALIKS who are benefited from the autocratic decisions of these bureaucrats. So how can one expect that they will abolish FCR or amend the parts which are causing violation of basic Human Rights? After Independence, and the birth of a sovereign Pakistan, it was hoped that the Constitution of 1973 would herald a new era of freedom for the people of this country to flourish and progress. However, unlike the rest of Pakistan, the Constitution was not applied to the region of FATA, whose people continued, and still continue, to suffer the indignities and cruelties of the archaic British laws under the F.C.R guys why we are all still silent on the implementation of the FCR (frontier crime Regulation) in the FATA even after 66 years of formation of Pakistan............ why we are not treated as other pakistani......???? Please think over it............
