Federal Minister for States and Frontier Regions and Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir Affairs, Engr Amir Muqam here on Saturday said that the budget of KP was a jugglery of words and no significant relief was provided to the people. He said that most of statistics of KP budget were based on speculations and hypotheses and that no significant relief was provided to masses in any sector including social services.
Addressing Lahor Tehsil Bar after administrating oath to its elected office bearers, the minister said that it was highly astonished that the KP budget was presented before the federal budget this year and most of its statistics were based on speculations and hypotheses. He said that the provinces mostly presented its budget after analyzing the receipts, projects and allocations in the federal budget and include confirmed figures in its Annual Development Program.
Engr Amir Muqam said that the people of Khyber Pakthunkhwa could not be deceived on mere slogans and hypotheses any more. He said that people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had given mandate to KP rulers for solution of their problems and not for raising mere slogans and posting political gimmicks’ posts and videos on social media for achieving cheap popularity. The people of Khyber Pakthunkhwa knew about elements that raised hollow slogans to take control of Governor House and PESCO, he said.
He said that people of Khyber Pakthunkhwa were custodians of these institutions and would frustrate the ill designs of such elements know for hallow sloganeering. The federal minister expressed the hope that the KP rulers would show political maturity.
