That's a comment bordering on racism. Being opportunistic is a human instinct, not a monopoly of Pashtuns.
A wise and sensible decision by FATA representatives. It means they want progress, prosperity and peace in their region.
Th normal reaction of the Pashtuns! They prefer to be part of the winning team! What is to gain from the loosers.
