\nMayor Shahid Ali Khan has vehemently opposed the proposed taxes in the Malakand Division, pledging to resist any attempts to impose them on the already struggling population. In a press statement, Khan commended Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur for announcing that the province will not impose taxes, winning the hearts of the people.
\nHowever, he emphasized that the government must do more to address the region\u2019s economic woes.
\nThe people of Swat and Malakand Division have made immense sacrifices in the war against terrorism and have faced natural disasters, devastating their economy,\u201d Khan stated. \u201cInstead of imposing taxes, the government should provide employment opportunities and address their issues.
\nKhan warned that any attempt to impose taxes would face strong resistance from the people. \u201cWe will not let the government impose taxes on our people without a fight,\u201d he declared. We demand that the government take stakeholders into confidence and prepare a plan of action with their consultation.
\nThe Mayor\u2019s statement comes amid growing resentment among the people of the Malakand Division over the proposed taxes. The region has faced economic hardship for years, and the proposed taxes are seen as an additional burden on the already struggling population.
\nKhan\u2019s bold stance against the government\u2019s policies has been welcomed by the people of Swat and Malakand Division, who see it as a beacon of hope. The issue is likely to gain momentum in the coming days, with more protests and demonstrations expected in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
