PESHAWAR
\nThe credibility of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)\u2019s claims of good governance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been exposed following serious allegations of corruption and maladministration levied by Shakeel Khan, the party\u2019s former Provincial Minister for Communications and Works Department.
\nShakeel Khan in his resignation has described as, \u201csystemic corruption\u201d within the PTI-led government, challenging the party\u2019s previous assertions of effective and transparent governance in KP.
\nIn the resignation letter addressed to the Chief Minister KP, the close aide of PTI from Batkhela constituency of Malakand district in the provincial assembly contended that PTI deviated significantly from its commitment to bring reforms in socio-economic sectors and provide relief to the underprivileged.
\nShakeel asserted that he would provide a detailed account of the issues behind his resignation in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly.
\nAdviser to the Chief Minister for Information, confirmed that Shakeel Khan\u2019s resignation followed a summary submitted to the KP Governor to denotify him as provincial minister.
\nSaif stated that the decision was based on the recommendations from a good governance committee, which had accused Shakeel of misuse of authority, financial irregularities, and negligence.
\nIkhtiar Wali Khan, Pakistan Muslim League-N\u2019s Information Secretary, criticized PTI\u2019s corruption and poor governance allegations.
\nIkhtiar Khan pointed out that Shakeel Khan\u2019s dismissal is part of a broader pattern within the PTI, referencing previous instances where ministers were expelled after exposing corruption, such as former Minister Ziaullah Afridi and MPA Javeed Nasim during the Pervez Khattak Government.
\nWali Khan argued that the PTI\u2019s promises of transformative change had fallen short, with the province now struggling under significant loan debt and facing challenges in essential sectors like health and education.
\nHe said after the 18th constitutional amendment, it was the responsibility of KP government to maintain its writ and law and order in the province.
\nHe pointed out that PTI government failed to fulfill its constitutional responsibilities in maintaining its writ, especially in southern districts of KP, where incidents of terrorism had surged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
