Why wouldn’t the government merge FATA with the NWFP

Re: Why wouldn’t the government merge FATA with the NWFP

^This is news to me, people actually want to abolish the FATA system? From what I know, the FATA policy is an extension of the Britis policy.. Dont interfere with the workings of the Tribals.. I though this is what the tribal people wanted! To be independant... Isnt the FATA concept all at the behest of the tirbals themselves?
Im surprised that FATA is another reason for you people to suspect the country...
The FATA was supposed to be a wat to appease the Tribals.
We would all love to see FATAs integration into the mainstream, but I dont think they want that do they?
