The demands of JI FATA are included the abolition of Frontier Crime Regulations (FCR) and extension of the superior judiciary including Shariat Court, Supreme Court, High Court and also decisions through jirga system. The party instead of the extension of police to tribal area is demanding the strengthening of the traditional Khasadar and Levy Force and recruitment of 30,000 tribesmen in this regard.
JI has termed Rewaj Act as alternative of FCR, which it said is not acceptable to tribesmen any way. He said that some people in garb of referendum are supporting FCR, which want to keep the residents of FATA in dark. Zar Noor Afridi said that Article 248 of the Constitution has no space for referendum in FATA; rather it is for the jirga system. He said that tribesmen are announcing revolt against slavery under FCR, saying reforms have the issue of life and death for the tribesmen and will not withdraw from in any circumstances.
The party has termed the suspension of FATA reforms and any delay in it to the murder of the spirit of residents of the region, saying they are living backward since last 70 years. He demanded immediate issuance of notification for the merger of FATA into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with immediate effect, conducting of census, local bodies' polls under provincial system 2017 and beside National Assembly also holding elections for provincial assembly in the next elections of 2018.
