The Governor vowed to fulfill expectations of people and the party leadership, saying President Asif Ali Zardari had issued NFC Award and granted identity to people of the province by renaming NWFP as KP besides powers to provinces under the 18th constitutional amendment for which people are thankful to the President.
He said that additional one percent share in NFC award was given to KP amounting to Rs50/60 billion in its fight against terrorism but unfortunately due to lackluster approach of the Provincial Government neither modern weapons were provided to police nor its salary increased and he decided to talk on every forum for rights of people of Khyber Pakthunkhwa.
He expressed the hope that people of the province would provide allout support to him as progress and prosperity of Khyber Pakthunkhwa is our collective responsibility.
