PESHAWAR
Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan claimed on Wednesday that the popularity of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is going up despite incumbent government ‘multiple conspiracies’ against the party leadership.
Mahmood Khan accused the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) for making desperate attempt to tarnish the popularity of PTI at provincial and national levels, saying all attempts would go in vain.
“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 added.
He alleged the incumbent government for having no ability and termed it as inept to run the federation as it was engaged in a fruitless exercise to marginalize KP province.
CM-KP 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 (PPP) Iqbal Khan and Raheem Khan from Jumat e Islami (JI) 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.
Mr Khan added that PTI will form their government not only in KP but will be the sole party that represents the entire federation in the upcoming general elections.
Political workers of other 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 KP, the Chief Minister said that the provincial government was facing financial constraints due to the non-provision of funds as per the commitment by the federal government.
