You know this is not the truth and is more for local(Indian) consumption. The fact remains that Pakistan has always had a system which it adapted from the British Raj in not interfering with the tribal areas in exchange for peace in the region. There are various reasons mainly socioeconomical and political and terretorial, which makes thia approach expedient, which can be debated seperately. What Pakistan has had to do recently is to reinforce the system, but rather than leaving it to local discretion, has tild the tribal elders, that unless they sort their own house out, the Army will step in and do the job for them .This would be inconvenient for both parties and there is to some extent a common threat perception which is not appreciated by both parties. The situation is not ideal but it is the most likely to produce results in the long term.
I hope my response has shed some light on the prevailing situation.
