Hum bhi Pakistan FATA television program promo (Express TV)
CRSS FATA-FCR-focused shows go on air on Friday
A series of ten landmark TV shows “Hum Bhi Pakistan” on the status of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) - Past, Present, and Future - produced by the Center for Research and Security Studies (CRSS) goes on air from Friday.
The national EXPRESS TV will air the shows every Friday and Saturday at 7.p.m every week.
These shows mark a big step forward in the Center’s drive for inclusive democracy and fundamental rights as enshrined in the federal Constitution. As many as 40 parliamentarians, rights’ activists, analysts and academia participated in the shows with some 60 male and female students from different regions in the audience. They had specially traveled to Islamabad for participating in the shows and each of them had a chance to put at least one question to the panelists.
Never before did FATA come under such focused and s structured debate involving leading stakeholders from within FATA as well as those representing Pakistan’s mainstream political parties – a first in FATA’s political rights’ advocacy in history to debate FATA problems, concerns and future prospects.
The TV shows supplement CRSS’s radio advocacy for FATA which has been airing from Peshawar and several other stations in a syndicated show that reaches all nook and corners of KP province and FATA.
The TV shows gave an opportunity to the people from FATA to share their problems and seek solutions that can best help mainstream FATA with Pakistan. At the same time it provided the panelists a chance to speak in a focused way on the way the draconian Frontier Crimes Regulations –FCR-impacts their lives.
During the discussions, almost all guests and audience demanded repeal of or drastic amendments to the Article 247 of the constitution, which empowers the President to rule these areas through political agents. Most participants demanded to be mainstreamed and treated as equal citizens ( as promised under the Article 25 of the constitution) and asked the president as well as mainstream political parties to help them get rid of the FCR.
