\nPakistan Peoples Party Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Secretary Information and former MNA Dr Haider Ali Khan on Saturday said that those who used national resources for personal interests must face complete accountability, and that accountability should begin with the PPP itself. Addressing a press conference at the Peshawar Press Club, he said Zulfikar Ali Bhutto gave Pakistan its first unanimous Constitution, while Benazir Bhutto sacrificed her life for the survival of democracy.
\nHe said the PPP still stood with democracy and was facing various challenges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which it was trying to overcome. He said the PPP\u2019s policy for sustainable peace in the province was indiscriminate accountability of all. Without accountability, he said, the system of justice and governance could not be established.
\nHe said Governor\u2019s Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had been imposed in accordance with the Constitution, which provided for it where the situation deteriorated. He said the PPP wanted transparent governance and easing the life of the common man was part of its manifesto. He said the step was constitutional and was used as a last resort, and no one should rejoice over it.
\nHe said all available options, including political negotiations with the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, were used, but the PTI itself paved the way for Governor\u2019s Rule and repeatedly tried to march on the Centre.
\nDr Haider Ali Khan said government officials and ordinary citizens were equal in the eyes of the law, and the law should be the same for all in the matter of encroachments. He said officials removing illegal encroachments should remain within limits and not exceed their authority.
\nHe said an inquiry would be conducted into the incident at Old Labour Colony, Industrial Estate Hayatabad, where hundreds of houses were locked from outside while women and children were inside. Action would be taken against anyone found guilty, he added.
\nHe said the PTI\u2019s 13-year rule was reviewed and no development was visible, while corruption was rampant. He said after the imposition of Governor\u2019s Rule, no one in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa came out to express sympathy for those who wanted to make the Centre Somnath, which proved that the people had welcomed Governor\u2019s Rule.
\nOn Afghan refugees, he said those living in Pakistan for 40 years would be treated in accordance with the UN Charter and international laws. He said visa holders would not be touched, while those residing illegally would be shown the way to the border.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
