KARACHI: Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has strongly condemned PML-N government’s move of withdrawal of FATA Reforms Bill at the eleventh from the National Assembly Agenda on Monday.

In a statement, the PPP Chairman said that the decision of PML-N to withdraw the Bill smells its hatred towards the people of FATA but pledged that his Party would merge FATA into Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa as per the aspiration of the people of tribal areas.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari pointed out that in August 2011, President Asif Ali Zardari amended the Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR), a British-era law curtailing FATA residents’ rights, and extended the Political Parties Act (PPA) 2002 to the tribal areas.

PPP Chairman further said that PPP has already vowed to integrate FATA in KPK, extension of High Courts jurisdiction and end to FCR.
