He alleged that those who assumed power in the federation and Punjab through \u201cForm 47\u201d had already been rejected by the public.<br \/>\nJan claimed that Mr Sharif had not only been rejected by voters in his own constituency but had also been sidelined within his party. He criticised the former premier\u2019s political conduct, alleging that he had previously conducted politics from abroad and was now targeting KP\u2019s performance for political survival.<br \/>\nThe aide said governance in the federation and Punjab had been reduced to personal interests, urging Mr Sharif to address what he termed poor performance in those regions instead of criticising KP.<br \/>\nReferring to Yasmin Rashid, he said she had defeated Mr Sharif in general elections but was currently imprisoned in what he described as \u201cfabricated cases\u201d, while those who allegedly stole the public mandate had not been held accountable.<br \/>\nMr Jan also criticised conditions in south Punjab, alleging deterioration in health, education and infrastructure sectors, and said Mr Sharif\u2019s party lacked a performance agenda, resorting instead to \u201cbaseless criticism\u201d.<br \/>\nHe added that the former prime minister\u2019s criticism stemmed from Mr Khan\u2019s continued popularity among the public, reiterating that voters had once again endorsed PTI\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DLP Report PESHAWAR Special Assistant to the Chief Minister on Information and Public Relations Shafi Jan on Tuesday strongly criticised Nawaz Sharif over his remarks on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government, terming them an implicit acknowledgment of the performance of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
