DLP Report
\nPESHAWAR
\nAwami National Party (ANP) Provincial President Mian Iftikhar Hussain has voiced serious concern and outrage over recent revelations of large-scale financial corruption in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, amounting to over Rs126 billion within a single month. He strongly criticized the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the federal government, powerful institutions, and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for their alleged silence and complicity.
\nAddressing a press conference, Mian Iftikhar highlighted key scandals, including the Rs50 billion case linked to former provincial minister Taimur Jhagra, Rs40 billion reportedly embezzled from bank accounts, and a Rs36 billion scandal in Kohistan. He termed these developments not as coincidences, but as evidence of what he described as \u201ccorruption-driven policies\u201d under the PTI government.
\n\u201cThe silence of the federal government, institutions, and NAB clearly points to a secret collusion,\u201d he alleged, claiming that corruption in the KP government is being deliberately ignored in exchange for political obedience to the federation. He cited the Mines and Minerals Bill as a glaring example of this nexus.
\nMian Iftikhar also took a swipe at former Prime Minister Imran Khan, accusing him of turning a blind eye to the plundering of KP. \u201cThe man who once claimed to be \u2018Sadiq and Ameen\u2019 is now silent in jail while the province suffers. It seems even from behind bars, he is receiving his share,\u201d he added sarcastically.
\nCalling for action, the ANP leader demanded the formation of an impartial judicial commission to investigate the alleged corruption scandals and urged for transparent accountability at the national level. He appealed to the people of KP to raise their voices against what he termed as systemic injustice. \u201cThis province has been looted in broad daylight. Silence is no longer an option,\u201d ANP leader said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
