Pakistan’s stance that drones are counter-productive has to go further from being rhetoric. Serious efforts are required on the government’s part to bring Waziristan into the fold. We need to adopt an inclusive approach for Waziristan so that if a Waziri child dies in a drone strike, the nation gets to know exactly what happened through independent and direct reporting and not through source reports from security services. The corrupt and archaic office of political agent and black laws such as FCR needs to be replaced with workable legislation implemented after consultations with all the stakeholders.
