\n PESHAWAR
\nChief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan accused the federal government of failing to manage the country\u2019s economy, alleging the incumbent federal cabinet has exposed the country to the risk of default.
\n\u201cThe national economy is on the verge of default due to the federal government failed policies,\u201d he added and said that in a failed attempt to resuscitate the economy, the federal cabinet is looking towards charities.
\nThe indifferent attitude of the imported cabinet towards Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is unethical and highly condemnable.
\nDespite the stoppage of funds by the federal government, the provincial government has not compromised on its development agenda and is investing in human capital.
\nEvery possible effort has been made to this effect\u201d, he said, and added that during the last four years, the provincial government has spent significant resources on the welfare of the journalist\u2019s community, especially on the reconstruction and rehabilitation of press clubs, provision of grants in aid, medical reimbursements, unemployment allowances, marriage grants, establishment of media colonies and other activities related to the community.
\nHe was addressing the oath taking ceremonies of the Swat and Nowshera Press Clubs held here at the Chief Minister\u2019s house on Thursday. Provincial Minister Dr Amjad, Advisor to Chief Minister Mian Khaliq Ur Rehman, Special Assistant to Chief Minister Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif, MPAs Mian Sharafat Ali and Fazal Hakim, Secretary Information Arshad Khan and Director General Information Imdadullah also attended the ceremonies.
\nThe Chief Minister formerly administered an oath to the newly elected cabinets of Swat and Nowshera Press Clubs.
\nHe extended his heartfelt felicitation to the newly elected president of Nowshera Press club Jahanzeb Khattak, president of Swat Press club Shereen Zada, president of Swat Union of Journalists Hazara Ali and their cabinet members.
\nHe hoped that newly elected cabinets would play a proactive role in promoting positive journalism and resolving issues of their community.
\nChief Minister Mahmood Khan also talked about the achievements of his government and said that the PTI provincial government has gone beyond its capacity and resources for the establishment of transparent governance, improvement of public sector institutions and public welfare in accordance with Imran Khan\u2019s vision and party manifesto.
\nHe said that under the uniform development strategy of the provincial government, every possible effort has been made to ensure the welfare of all sectors of society; the ultimate goal is to serve humanity without discrimination for which all possible measures have been taken.
\nMr Khan maintained that establishing a welfare society requires coordinated efforts and teamwork, for which all the stakeholders will have to play their respective roles.
\nMedia has a key role in promoting democratic practices, due to which it is considered as the fourth pillar of the state.
\nMahmood Khan made it clear that merit, transparency and rule of law have been the top priorities of his government since day one.
\nThe self-centered politicians who have allegedly built their properties abroad by looting the national exchequer have been exposed.
\nThe Chief Minister on the occasion, also assured that the issues of the Swat and Nowshera Press Clubs would be resolved on priority, adding that the provincial government has always extended every possible support to the journalist\u2019s community and will continue to resolve their genuine issues in future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
