Urges politicians to contest elections against each other but work collectively
Minister of State for Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Faisal Karim Kundi has vowed to work together with his political opponents for the development of Dera Ismail Khan. He was addressing the oath-taking ceremony of Vegetable and Fruit market’s Anjuman Traders held here in the Dera Press Club which was also addressed by Union President Munawar Zarif, Dera Press Club President Muhammad Yasin Qureshi, Central Anjuman Traders General Secretary Haji Muhammad Ramzan and Senior Vice President Chaudhry Muhammad Jameel.
The state minister said all the politicians would contest elections against each other but work collectively for the development and prosperity of Dera Ismail Khan. He assured the traders of the vegetable and fruit market that he would get their issues resolved through the Secretary of Agriculture. He said whenever his party came into power, half of the time is spent on the restoration of the offices back to Dera Ismail Khan which shifted from there. He was of the view that closure or transfer of government offices from any area leads to loss of prestige and good name of the local people of the area.
Faisal Kundi said the 40-year-old PIA office was closed during the previous tenure which was restored in last year. He said the Aviation ministry has taken several steps regarding the construction and expansion of the airport in Dera and the progress in this regard was yet underway. He said the offices of Pakistan Television (PTV), Press Information Department (PID) were also restored in Dera Ismail Khan.
