Every government tried to start development projects in FATA areas but their political representative not likes it. I personally knows that many times, Sarhad government tried to build roads in Khyber Agency (FATA area) but these people resisted and not allowed contractors to do work. They destroys roads becasue they have one clear fear... that is, if infrastructure will become strong in FATA then Pakistan's Army and FC police will take hold of whole area easily. Their political agents don't want Government hold at any cost. They sends their people to attack on contractors when ever work starts. Only main road between Afghanistan and Peshawar is in good condition. Political agents are earning millions due to is FATA state. As far water supply and electricity is concerend, you can't enjoy them without paying bill even for a month but no body is paying bill in whole FATA region. They not gives bills since Pakistan's independence. Please take out WAPDA annual report and you will find 65% of Receivable Amount chunk of FATA and 25% of ARMY. Its not matter of any province (which most of commentators tries to raise) its matter of their regional leaders. Most of old mentality leaders don't want any development projects because they looses hold of their area by this. Who will go to their home for favor, if police stations will work? who will cry for water, if water supply will reach there? How they will give their lectures, if schools will start teaching and spreading awareness among villagers. This is the reason that every time you see same faces elected from Interior Sind and Balochistan and FATA. NWFP and Punjab ( south Punjab is still slave) people got rid of these land lords and feudalisms and you will find people more independent here. You can't change luck of common man without changing system. Land reforms and hold of any personality from any area is must to give relief to common man. Only dictators could be able to do it but alas they also shakes hands with them and makes them more strong. How you can expect reforms from PMLQ and PPP and other related parties, the main holders of these parties belongs to same families and they don't want to loose their grip. Its long discussion and things will remain same even after our discussions. Just pray that change should be fast. We can't expect revolution. Mr Junaid Khan,

Things are not entirely true as you stated. Every government tried to start development projects in FATA areas but their political representative not likes it. I personally knows that many times, Sarhad government tried to build roads in Khyber Agency (FATA area) but these people resisted and not allowed contractors to do work. They destroys roads becasue they have one clear fear… that is, if infrastructure will become strong in FATA then Pakistan’s Army and FC police will take hold of whole area easily. Their political agents don’t want Government hold at any cost. They sends their people to attack on contractors when ever work starts. Only main road between Afghanistan and Peshawar is in good condition. Political agents are earning millions due to is FATA state.

Our government is mostly made from Punjab and these leaders rarely take out time to visit the FATA. Did you all wonder how many times Musharraf visited the tribal areas before 9/11? Or did you all wonder how many times our PM's visited the tribal areas? Even did you all ever wonder how much development work is done in these areas? Has anyone ever wondered why these areas were just used as tissue paper in all the past years? Why camps of Mujahideen were formed in these areas in the Afghan War? Why drugs were allowed to pass through these areas when CIA was selling it across the globe? Why not Lahore, Islamabad or Karachi were used for this purpose? And before talking about Taliban and calling them evil did you ever wonder why we brought these evil forces to power? Why our same leaders were backing them in the 90's? Do you expect a person who fought as comrade with these talibans few years ago will now kill them because of change in our foreign policy? Did you ever wonder that sitting in metropolis these statements make sense when you have never been to the tribal areas yourself? Please first answer half of the above questions before passing such extreme remarks. And for your information do you think America is giving them flowers in Afghanistan? The whole NATO is busy trying to crush them but they have failed and you think our government will crush them? It is just wishful thinking and you can not crush a whole tribe just because they don't agree with the double standards of your foreign policy which changes with every government and made by people rather then institutions. Come on wake up and start talking logic. I am not a fan of Taliban but i don't think that with this attitude you can help the situation. Already people have so much hatred against each other and all the provinces are becoming different entities. Punjabi, Pathan, Baluchi and Mahajar sounds common names to us and not to forget that Shia and Sunni are considered as if two different worlds.
