Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan has said that the popularity of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is increasing with every passing day despite multiple conspiracies being hatched by the current Federal Government which have put to the wind every social and political norm in a futile attempt to tarnish the popularity of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf at provincial and national level.
The component parties of PDM are politicizing national issues for their vested interests and have even stopped budgeted transfers of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in a useless attempt to create instability and spread uncertainty. He clarified that the current federal cabinet is inept to run the federation and are engaged in a fruitless exercise to marginalize Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
He said this while talking to two separate delegations from District Bannu and Dir led by provincial minister Shah Muhammad Wazir and Ex-MNA Bashir Khan. On the occasion, independently elected village council chairmen from Bannu formally announced joining PTI. Similarly, ex candidate of Pakistan People’s Party Iqbal Khan and Raheem Khan from Jumat e Islami along with hundreds of political followers also announced joining PTI. Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said that, under the leadership of chairman Imran Khan, PTI will continue its struggle for achieving real independence of the country.
He also made it clear that PTI will form their government not only in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province but will be the sole party that represents the entire federation in the upcoming general elections. He added political activists from multiple political parties are joining PTI which is evidence that PTI has emerged as the only party which is loved by majority because of its sincere and dynamic leadership. He made it clear that chairman Imran Khan is striving for the real freedom of the country, one that has an independent foreign policy focused on the betterment of its citizens.
Touching upon the development strategy in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Chief Minister said that the provincial government is facing financial constraints due to the non-provision of funds as per the commitment by the federal government, but despite this, the ongoing development projects in the province will be completed and the federal government will not be allowed to marginalize Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Chief Minister said that the provincial government is taking all possible steps for the timely and quality completion of the ongoing public welfare projects adding that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is the only province which has ensured devolution of powers by holding of local body elections aimed at resolving public issues at their doorsteps.
