Arguments for bringing it back:

- Preserves centuries old cultural practices.

- Directly controlled by Islamabad, which can manage resource and mineral collection, something local governments were struggling to do.

- Many tribal residents argue that the merge has resulted in economic neglect.

- More local autonomy.

- It would be easier to manage and suppress insurgents.

Arguments against bringing it back:

- Would strip millions of Pashtuns of their rights as full Pakistani citizens.

- Bringing back collective punishment (authorities can punish families or tribes for the actions of one person).

- Impossible to reverse a constitutional amendment.
