PESHAWAR: Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) Chairman Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao on Sunday rejected the Senate resolution seeking the postponement of the February 8 polls, demanded that the general election must be held on its scheduled date without any delay. Speaking at a press conference in Shabqadar tehsil in the Charsadda district, he said the Senate resolution demanding delay in holding the elections was meaningless. Aftab Sherpao said that the election must be held in order to enable the people to elect their representatives. Criticizing the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership, the QWP leader said that its popularity graph had started falling, but it was using the so-called regime change theory in a face-saving effort. He urged the people to use their right to vote in order to send their representatives to the assemblies so that they could work for the uplift of their areas. “We will spare no effort to serve the people,” he vowed. He said that his party had always served the people as it believed in working for the development of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. About the denial of level playing field, he said that the nomination papers of the PTI candidates had been accepted so this complaint was not based on reality. He said the PTI was getting unprecedented relief from the courts. APP
