Peshawar: 3-Days training workshop on Democratic Governance organized by Strengthening Participator Organization (SPO) with collaboration of FRs Civil Society Network (FCSN) in Peshawar was concluded today. This training workshop was arranged for the political parties' workers of different political parties present in FRs to enhance their capacity regarding their political activities. Zuhra Luqman an MER specialist of SPO was the trainer on this occasion.
The concluding workshop was the last of series of the workshops for political workers in FRs(FATA). In said workshop political workers took special interest and wished for holding of more such training workshops in future to build the capacity of the political workers in far flung areas of FR Peshawar, FR Lakki, FR Tank and FR DI Khan. In the past such trainings were provided to the political workers for building up of their capacity on various subjects. Before this the participants were provided with trainings on human rights, democracy etc.
In her concluding remarks to the participants Zuhra Luqman said that FATA which comprises of 7-Agencies and six FRs is a backward area and since Pakistan came into being for the last 63 years this area has not seen actual development. It is the result that we see today that FATA is having no peace and its people are IDPs in different areas of the country. In FATA political parties have not played the role which they should have played and its reason is that FATA is deprived of extension of political parties Act. President Asif Ali Zardari had announced reforms in FATA but till today these reforms were not implemented. Zuhra Luqman addressed the participants that democracy is the sole weapon to solve the problems of FATA. Dictatorial and authoritarian behaviors will not help us in solution of our issues and rather the problems are multiplied. Therefore people of FATA will have to play the role of changing agent and this is the reason that we have invited you here to discuss the democratic governance in FATA. Frankly speaking FATA is a place which can be called as human rights free zone. Human rights are frequently violated here because here is only one man show and he is called political Agent. Until we all get together and work in a democratic way for the solution of our issues situation will never change and status que will be there. We all know that FATA is represented by 12 MNAs and 8 senators but it is astonishing to see that these representatives can not legislate for FATA while have the power to take part in legislation for the rest of the country. FCR is a great hurdle in way of democracy and good governance. Good governance needs a transparent mechanism which unfortunately FATA lacks.
Zar Ali Khan Afridi, Chairman Tribal NGOs Consortium and Coordinator FCSN thanked SPO for arranging such thoughtful trainings for the people of FATA and assured that his people will cooperate in such like programs which are held for the bright future of FATA and its people. He also thanked the participants and said that it was the last of series of training workshops for the political workers of FRs. . Such trainings need to be continued for promotion of peace, democracy and sustainable development of FATA and its people alike.
