\nChief Minister Muhammad Sohail Afridi has announced an increase in the interest-free loan scheme from Rs3 billion to Rs5 billion for the youth of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
\n\u201cA great person is not one who possesses degrees and wealth, but one who has a great vision. Nations progress only when they carry the pain of the country in their hearts,\u201d he said.
\nAddressing the Young Leaders Convention at Nishtar Hall, Peshawar, the chief minister said while KP was being deprived of its due share, corruption at the federal level has reached Rs5,300 billion, as reported by the International Monetary Fund.
\n\u201cCorrupt rulers face no scrutiny for spending looted public money on overseas islands and apartments, yet the provincial government is criticised for allocating Rs4 billion for Tirah\u2019s affected and displaced population,\u201d he said.
\nCM-KP also criticized the federal government for denying the province its financial rights following the administrative merger of the erstwhile FATA in 2018, calling it a \u201cclear violation of the Constitution.\u201d
\nAfridi noted that the federal government currently owes KP Rs4,758 billion. He added that despite limited resources, his government was serving the province for the third term on the basis of performance and service delivery, and that timely release of outstanding dues would further enhance public services.
\nAfridi also strongly criticized the Punjab government, accusing it of imposing a de facto civil martial law, curbing political freedoms, and exhibiting an authoritarian mindset.
\nHe condemned the imprisonment of senior politicians, describing it as \u201cthe worst form of political victimization,\u201d and alleged that the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan was unlawfully detained while poisonous water was reportedly released at night outside Adiala Jail against his sisters protesting the arrests.
\nHe urged the youth to raise their voices in all forums and emphasized that their struggle remains strictly within the law and Constitution.
\n\u201cIt is better to raise our voices as a living nation than to carry coffins,\u201d he said, adding that the government would introduce policies benefiting all segments of society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
