Today, their performance is limited to selling buffaloes from the Prime Minister\u2019s House.\u201d<br \/>\nHe said the journey that began with symbolic sales has now reached the alarming stage of auctioning the province\u2019s assets. \u201cThe province is facing financial collapse, universities are crippled by funding shortages, the health sector is deteriorating rapidly, and educational terrorism is at its peak,\u201d Nazim stated.<br \/>\nHe further alleged that instead of building new schools, colleges, or universities, the current government is attempting to sell off land and institutions established during the ANP\u2019s tenure. \u201cIt is a tragic irony that even government hospitals and schools are being handed over to private hands. This reveals a mindset that wouldn\u2019t hesitate to sell off household appliances if given the chance,\u201d he remarked.<br \/>\nThe ANP spokesperson vowed that the party would not remain silent. \u201cWe strongly oppose this disastrous decision and will challenge it on every available forum after consulting our legal team. We will not allow the future of our children and generations to be compromised,\u201d he declared.<br \/>\nNazim also urged the people of KP to take stock of the damage inflicted on the province over the last 12 years by what he termed as an \u201cincompetent ruling clique.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DLP Report PESHAWAR The Awami National Party (ANP) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has strongly condemned the provincial government\u2019s decision to hand over public educational institutions and government hospitals to the private sector, calling it a shameful and deeply concerning move.
