FATA reforms bill: PM, army chief fail to win over Fazl

ISLAMABAD, (DNA) – Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Tuesday apparently failed to convince Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief to support the proposed law on reforms in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) and its merger with the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P).
This was the second consecutive meeting of the prime minister with JUI-F chief Fazlur Rehman as the former also met Fazl on Monday night at the latter’s residence.
Sources confirmed that after the Monday meeting, which remained inconclusive, the PM was convinced that Fazl was not likely to budge from his stance. He had, therefore, decided to seek help of the army chief who was to visit parliament on Tuesday.
