Attack on govt, defence installations was PTI’s preplanned conspiracy
Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety, Faisal Karim Kundi on Friday advocated the Pakistan People’s Party stance of supporting extension in the FATA/PATA tax exemption period considering the prevailing economic situation.
“PPP has a very clear stance with the government, federal cabinet and Finance Minister as a coalition partner to support the demand of the people of former Federally Administered Tribal Areas and Provincially Administered Tribal Areas for extension in the tax exemption period”, he said.
Speaking during a press conference along with PPP Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial President, Syed Muhammad Ali Shah Bacha, the SAPM said that tax exemption was given to FATA/PATA at the time of merger with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa keeping in view the economic situation, which is extendable.
Faisal Kundi said that the PPP delegation, under the leadership of the provincial president, has visited the Radio Pakistan building in Peshawar which was attacked and burnt by the PTI workers. He condemned the workers of PTI who ransacked and set on fire the public and private properties including Radio Pakistan’s building and stole computers, electronic appliances, furniture, sound system, vehicles engines and other expensive items.
He said that attack on the government and defence installations was a preplanned conspiracy by the PTI and demanded strict legal action against the miscreants involved in all such activities.
Faisal Kundi said that those who sold the gate of Radio Pakistan building for Rs. 9,00,000 were saying that they entered into politics against the thieves and dacoits.
Commenting on the prevailing situation when PTI leaders are quitting party and from positions, Faisal Kundi said that people will see an advertisement from PTI soon seeking leaders.
Faisal Kundi said that a number of PTI leaders including the prominent ones have contacted PPP to join the party, however, the PPP will welcome those who pursued politics of morality and obeyed the constitutional values. While “Entry is closed for those violating these basic principles of politics”, he said.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister of State for Water Resources, Syed Muhammad Ali Shah Bacha congratulated Malik Jawad Hussain for joining PPP and said that PPP had always given respect to its workers and we all will serve this country together.
