Pakistan's southwestern province Balochistan's chief minister Dr Malik Baloch has said peace in the country is linked with peace in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata), calling the federal government to restore peace in the volatile tribal belts.
Baloch appealed the government at a press conference in Quetta in the presence of other mainstream political party leaders, to empower the tribesmen to decide their political future, Dawn News reports.
According to the report, the political parties reached a consensus on eleven points and agreed that their implementation is crucial for establishing peace in the tribal belt.
The political parties demanded that the judiciary should be separated from the executive and people have to be allowed to challenge the judgment of the political agents.
