PRESIDENT ZARDARI FAILS TO
FULFILL BENAZIR BHUTOO PROMISE.! .
Month of december remember the 5th Anniversly of Late Benazir Bhuto on one hand
while on other hand also remember the failure of Zardari Govt in fulfilling
Benazir Bhuto promises the details of which is given here both for the High ups
of Govt as well as readers.
People living on border areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan (AfPak)faced and still
facing so many miseries both during USSR & USA invasion of Afghanistan.That is
Why Benazir Bhutoo ,ex PM of Pakistan want tocompensated them by announcing a
mega Project of teaching hospital and medical college based on the bond of
Humanity.
Remote and backward plus strategic important Pak Afghan tribal areas (FATA)are
neglected all the time. Tribal people and their area are highlighted as jungle
by different rulers for gaining more and more aid from international community
both during cold war and so called war on terror after 9/11.But hardly the
mentioned aid received in the name of Fata used on the welfare and development
of tribal areas.
The issue of FATA Medical College is once again in discussion on Print and
Electronic media after a yers. Therefore it is necessary to mention the need as
well as facts and figures of this mega Project. It is fact that both Late
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutoo & Shaheed Jamhoriat Benazir Bhutto tried to gave full
attention to FATA as exceptional case in rulers even by visiting far away tribal
areas like Parachinar for more than twice and tried to did a lot for these
areas. Late Zulfiqar Ali Bhutoo & Shaheed Jamhoriat Benazir Bhutto during visits
to Parachinar termed the paradise like scenic valley and headquarters of Kurram
Agency Parachinar as Switzerland of Pakistan.
Ex PM Shaheed Jamhoriat Benazir Bhutto during her visit to Parachinar announced
that Fata Medical College will be built at Parachinar as soon as possible with
the aim that this educational institute on one side will benefit the medical
students while on other side in the form of teaching hospital and medical
Faculty like Professors Asst Professors Specialists Doctors and Surgeons will be
available for tens of thousands population of both Pakistan and Afghanistan
tribal people. Shaheed Jamhoriat Benazir Bhutto was aware of the geographical
and strategic importance of Parachinar, because Parachinar is the only tribal
areas which touches four provinces of Afghanistan i.e, Paktia, Nagarkhar,Khost
and Paktika while the Afghanistan capital Kabul is at the shortest distance from
Parachinar in entire Fata as shown in attached map.
In Shaheed Jamhoriat Benazir Bhutto,s Vision the Medical College on one side can
be helpful in friendly relationship with four provinces of neighboring
Afghanistan as well as can provide basic medical facility to the inhabitants of
Kurram Agency and surrounding Tribal areas and districts by decreasing over load
from government and private hospitals at Peshawar far away from Parachinar
Kurram Agency.It is worth mentioning that hundreds of patients from Parachinar
Kurram Agency and surrounding areas including neighboring Afghanistan covering
10 to 15 hours hard journey to Peshawar KTH & LRH government hospitals as well
as Private Clinics at Dabgari & Hayatabad Peshawar. During long hard and risky
journey from home town to Peshawar many serious patients expires that is why
Shaheed e Jamhoriat Benazir Bhutto announced this crucial project .After the end
of PPP government later on different governors as a representative of President
of Pakistan or federal for FATA officially inaugurated by allocating land for
Fata Medical College (FMC) outside Parachinar city to gain credit for themselves
.Even one of the Governor announced the casual classes at Shalozan House an
official guest house at Parachinar city till completion of building on specified
location at Parachinar city but this process and start of casual classes was
suspended later on due to unknown reason as the Parachinar Peshawar PIA Flights
started by Benazir Bhutto was cancelled after end of PPP Govt while same PIA
Flights are still continued for Giligit & Chitral even having higher elevation
and dangerous mountains than Parachinar. After the cancellation of PIA Flights
and delaying tactics inalready announced Fata Medical College Parachinar now
this opinion is developing among the patriotic Turi Bangash tribals of
Parachinar whose elders visited Quaid e Azam at Delhi before partition and
participated in defending the land of Pakistan by sacrificing hundreds of men
women children in 1948,1965,1971Kargil Kashmir and ongoing so called war on
terror that Is Parachinar not Part of Pakistan?? If Yes then why they are facing
step mother treatment is a big question mark and if Fata MedicalCollege not
built at Parachinar then this question mark will be converted into frustration
and deprivation creating distances as in Baluchistan.
Moreover the above facts and figures regarding Fata Medical College (FMC) at
Parachinar and delay tactics in it are eye opening for PPP Leadership especially
President and Co Chairman Asif ali Zardari, Chairman Bilawal Zardari ,Prime
Minister and Governor Masood Kausar (Representative of President and Federal
government for FATA) who are using Ex PM Shaheed Jamhoriat Benazir Bhutto name
for political point scoring while failed to act on the promise of Shaheed
Jamhoriat Benazir Bhutto even by passing its tenure.
The PPP Leadership especially President and Co Chairman Asif ali Zardari,
Chairman Bilawal Zardari ,Prime Minister and Governor Masood Kausar have some
months guests in ongoing government and have a big chance to made happy the soul
of Shaheed Jamhoriat Benazir Bhutto by fulfilling the promise of Fata Medical
College at Parachinar as gift to tribal’s people with addition to surrounding
four provinces of Afghanistan even by naming it as “Pak-Afghan Friendship mega
Project Shaheed Jamhoriat Benazir Bhutto Fata Medical College” if they want to
avail this opportunity. Otherwise this will be another blow for tribal
population especially people of Parachinar in developing idea that they are
facing step mother treatment. It is need of hour that PPP Leadership should
fulfill the promise of Shaheed Jamhoriat Benazir Bhutto by starting work and
allocating budget for Fata Medical College (FMC) at Parachinar before ending the
current tenure and power they have.
(The end).
