PESHAWAR, Jan 6 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 06th Jan, 2017 ) : Pakistan Muslim League-N and JUI-F have developed consensus on making any decision regarding future of FATA as conditional with holding consultation and obtaining consent of people of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).

This claim has been made by Acting General Secretary of JUI-F, Maulana Muhammad Amjad Khan in a press statement issued here on Friday. "The consensus between PML-N and JUI-F has been made during meeting of leaders of both the parties including Advisor to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs, Sartaj Aziz and Federal Minister for Housing, Akram Khan Durrani," said Maulana Muhammad Amjad.

During the meeting, both the leaders decided that any decision regarding future of FATA will be taken on the basis of consultation and consent of people of tribal region, he reiterated. The federal government, he continued, will also take approval of this decision from federal cabinet, Maulana Amjad added.

He said it was the point of view of Maulana Fazlur Rehman from the very first day that let the people of FATA decide future plan of action for the region. We always expressed objection over any decision which is against the aspiration of people of FATA, he concludes.
