They are patriots and love their homeland, Pakistan, more than others
MOHMAND AGENCY: Due to the infiltration of Afghan refugees, Nadra blocked the identity cards of Fata’s population as a security measure. The majority of victims are from Fata, especially the people of Mohmand Agency and Bajaur Agency. This unethical action of Nadra to place a blanket block on cards created serious problems for the Fata people. Everyone knows that keeping a CNIC in one’s pocket has become necessary with frequent security checking.
It is matter of serious note and it is pure injustice with the people of Fata, who already face the crucial situation of war. They have been the most affected by terrorism and the operations against terrorists. The Government of Pakistan should take immediate action and remove the hardships being faced by Fata residents. The only logical step would be for the government to unblock the identity cards if they have belonged to Fata since the time of their forefathers. They are patriots and love their homeland, Pakistan, more than others.
