This is a good step but the real issue is something else. One needs to eradicate the root cause of the issue. The question which should be answered is that why our innocent children instead of going to schools fall prey to the exploitation and sexploitation in the first place. Just imagine a family which is well off with either of the parents doing a job to win their bread and butter. Obviously in that case the kids will be getting their education in a normal way and there will be no child labor or other form of child abuse or exploitation. It is when the sources of income are less, demographic pressure per family is more, the society is consumer oriented and the state has no welfare program that the children are compelled to get indulged in those activities which are not meant for their age group. Hence the real task for the govt is to think about the means of CAPITAL CREATION using the creative faculties of its masses which are always available in the form of human resource.
It is by creating and innovating new means of income , creating new technology, exploring new venues of income generation and a policy which encourages and attracts capital that the govt of KPK will be able to ensure the future of our children as well as the youngsters failing which such policies will fire back. If you don’t have a means of income and your children also do not work or learn any skill due to such bill then society will get more frustrated instead of getting a relief. There are two ways to get your right.
The first method is through constitutional means, parliamentary means and political means. Just imagine if you are asking for billions and you just conduct a low level meeting with the local press despite knowing the fact that the media is also biased and anti Pashtun oriented in addition to the lack of political acumen in the leadership of Pashtuns then which fool will give you your right. Hence in that case you have to have a say in the helm of affairs due to your presentation, acumen, charisma and personality which is deeply lacking in ANP.
In my opinion vis a vis ANP, Fazal Rehman has got it more. He knows how to make his opinion worth listening and worth considering and how to use his physical weight to put weight in what he says. The ANP guys have a special shyness syndrome. They love to shy away from their own demands and Pakhtun rights and consider it a sin to talk about them in loud and clear terms. Hence their say is not taken very seriously as compared to for example MQM or JUI. The second method to get your rights is being a Pressure group. We have seen that PML N literally dictated the reinstatement of the Chief Justice using that method. MQM got the result of Hyderabad Distt issue by the same method. The Baloch can literally dictate their terms by using the pressure group technique. However the amount of hatred Pakhtuns have developed for ANP due to their misrepresentation and indifferent means of mass communication , will be a great hurdle in their way to launch a powerful agitation for their rights. It is when you love your leaders and your party due to their contribution and interaction with masses that people will volunteer to get to the roads and streets.
For ANP the major problem is that they did not train the nations in nationalist struggle for winning of their rights nor are they ready to take the risk to agitate themselves so they all have to beg Punjab and lament all the times despite being targeted by religious bigots. My own assessment is that the leadership is intellectually mediocre hence lacking the admin and statecraft skills to achieve certain national targets. Once the leadership of Pakhtuns is in the hands of wise, knowledgeable and nationalist persons I am sure these targets are much less than the targets which our elders had achieved in more unfavorable circumstances in their era. I personally prefer PMAP and their leadership as you see the type of ideological commitment in them as compared to ANP.
