According to him, the chief minister would remain out of the province from Sept 3 to 7, potentially affecting the handling of important provincial affairs.<br \/>\nThe ANP spokesperson said KP was facing serious challenges, including terrorism, law and order problems and issues relating to its constitutional and financial rights. He said police personnel were losing their lives in terrorist attacks and that police were being forced to protest, while the public was facing inflation, insecurity and what he described as administrative failures.<br \/>\nHe alleged that the chief minister appeared to be more concerned about a political prisoner than addressing the province\u2019s administrative and public issues.<br \/>\nMr Nazim said it was an unusual situation in the country\u2019s political history for an elected chief minister to pursue political mobilisation while also holding responsibility for running the provincial government. He said political party affairs and government responsibilities were generally kept separate because running a government required full-time attention.<br \/>\nHe claimed that government affairs and public issues had become secondary in the province, with the provincial government\u2019s activities revolving around a political issue.<br \/>\nThe ANP spokesperson further alleged that the chief minister spent most weekdays in Islamabad and participated in meetings concerning provincial affairs online, and had now embarked on a visit to Sindh.<br \/>\nHe urged the provincial government to focus on law and order, the province\u2019s financial rights and public issues, and for the chief minister to remain in KP to oversee these matters.<br \/>\nThis version keeps the political allegations clearly attributed to the ANP spokesperson, rather than presenting them as established facts, which is more appropriate for a neutral newspaper report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DLP Report PESHAWAR Awami National Party (ANP) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa spokesperson Arsalan Khan Nazim has criticised Chief Minister Sohail Afridi\u2019s visit to Sindh, questioning who was running the province at a time when it was facing serious challenges.
