Tribal people protest against delay in FATA reforms in Islamabad

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The police resorted to baton-charge and aerial firing to disrupt the tribal people protesting against the delay in the imposition of FATA reforms on Monday. The protesters belonging to different agencies, PTI and ANP leaders gathered at D Chowk and chanted slogans in favor of their demands. They said that they would not go home without getting their right. ANP leader Ghulam Ahmed Bilour also joined the protest. On the other hand, JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rahman said that the people protesting for the FATA did not belong to the FATA. “The government will have to take the decision on the FATA sagaciously. Everyone is posing himself to be the owner of the FATA,” he added. Meanwhile, demonstrations were also staged against a delay in the FATA reforms outside the Karachi and Lahore press clubs. ANP leaders also participated in the demonstrations.
