Whether to Be FATA or PATA

ISLAMABAD Feb, 07, 2012: Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), the Semi autonomous tribal regions in northwest of Pakistan situated between the province of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, Balochistan and neighboring country Afghanistan. The FATA contained seven tribal Agencies naming, Bajaur, Khyber, Mohmand, Kuram, Aurakzai, North Waziristan, South Waziristan and Six Frontier Regions (FR). The total population of the FATA was estimated in 2000 to be about 3,341,070 people, or roughly 2% of Pakistan's population. Only 3.1% of the population resides in established townships. It is thus the most rural administrative unit in Pakistan.

The territory has gained a wide coverage in the local as well as International media. The residents of surviving against the black law named Federal Crimes Regulations (FCR) since 1901 imposed by the Britain. The jurisdiction of Supreme Court and High Court of Pakistan does not exist in FATA; the premier constitution of Pakistan mentioned it in its Article 247 and 248. The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Assembly has no power in FATA, and can only exercise its powers in PATA that are part of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.

The area ruled by the federal Government on behalf of President of Pakistan and Governor Khyber Pukhtunkhwa.

The president of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari has approved the Political reforms in FATA in last August 2011. In accord of that approval the political parties of Pakistan could exercise their political activities in the region. After the embracing of war against terror in Pakistan, the government has closed the circle of insurgents existing over here and trying to start a political set up here.

There are three optional ways to solve this problem which is about the future of FATA.

The first option is to kept the FATA same as existing, carrying political Agent and Tribal traditional System as well as the black law of FCR.

The second option is to engulf the FATA into Khyber Pukhtunkhwa but the FATA Grand alliance has denied this option already. While the third option is to make the FATA as an isolate province, comprising of all seven agencies and six Frontier Regions. But the third option carries a problem that these entire seven agencies are not adjacently linked with each other geographically halting the process of securing an isolate province. Whatever the decision of FATA may be, but it must be based on the opinion of the dwelling peoples. The government should take serious stops to solve the issue and to stop the extremist activities, cashing the dispersed administrative situations.

My Thoughts about Journalism

ISLAMABAD, 02 Feb, 2012: it was 2008 when I got admission at versity for qualifying my master degree in journalism to swim in the pool of journalism. Being a student I was not too good to study hard but beside to be practical, I was a craze for joining this mysterious field. I have founded a little chance for getting start of my zero career and it was a news agency tolerating me because of their need and my devotion for work.

In the studies we have told that journalism is a platform from where a journalist can put a social problem or issue to the table of helms of affairs. Moreover we have also being told of media ethics and sensitivity of our pen about an event. Beyond all this as student of journalism I came across a few personalities, already feeding the media so it fueled more to my craze to be a journalist.

And at the end I got my degree in mass communication form the University of Peshawar in 2010. Now my first aim was to be engaged with a certain media organization to coordinate my theoretical achievements with practical horrors. It was more than a tough and frustrating job for me like student to hold himself unemployed in the city. Even then I kept crawling towards my aim that is to be journalist.

Somehow I visit the office of a media organization where I found a link to join a news agency as an internee and that was my first achievement, but what I found there,,,ohhhh was something cross proportional to all the stuff I studied. And once again I started from a new zero, but it was not that zero, worthy of nothing but some thing relaxing me, and providing a hope of fulfilling my dream.

And then I click another opportunity in which I am still engaged. But it was journey of two years wondering in media streets, that I stated in a few sentences. What I found the conclusion is that why the students are being taught that idea which is only a book limited and one cannot find it practicing somewhere. The other thing I got that with out any reference you are nothing in the media, provided that you are good journalist even. The third and last thing is that unemployment will slap you again and again but you have to hike your ego against it, that not to surrender. And when you got a little key to open big doors you will accredit your that survival as your ladder towards the sky.
