Theme:

The theme is “Justice and Separation of Powers in FATA: Extensive Power of Political Agent, Democracy vs. Draconian System”. This show discusses as to why not the extensive powers of the executive (Political Agent) given under the FCR be amended? With the help of case studies, the show aims to elaborate on how the powers vested in the Political Agent under the FCR promotes corruption, cronyism, and poor governance without any accountability mechanism and how these powers have impacted adversely on the lives of the people of FATA in many different ways? The show also focuses on implications of the FCR on the Rule of Law in adjacent settled areas, the role of FATA judicial tribunal, and citizen’s access to the appeals process. Extending court jurisdiction to the victims of FCR who are denied justice would also be discussed in the show.
