He said the Fata people had deprived from all constitutional rights since of inception of the country. He said the education, and health facilities were not available to people of tribal region, which was sheer unjust with them.
JI leader stressed the need for merger of Fata with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to open new chapter of development and progress in the region. He said the majority of tribal people are in favour of the integration with KP. He said the FCR is black law, which should be abolished to ensure all constitutional right to people of Fata.
