Minister for States and Frontier Regions, Engr. Amir Muqam emphasized the need for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) provincial government to focus on performance instead of engaging in negative politics and manipulating public sentiments.
Speaking to media he urged the Opposition to adopt a constructive approach rather than disrupting proceedings with confrontational tactics. He criticized the KP provincial government’s failure and its stubborn attitude to fill 11 vacant seats in the Senate, stressing the importance of ensuring adequate representation for province in the House of Federation (Senate).
The minister lamented the underperformance of the KP province compared to Punjab and Sindh, calling for a learning curve from their development models. About the blames of the KP Chief Minister on the Federal government over resource allocation, he highlighted the equitable distribution through the National Finance Commission (NFC) award.—INP
