KP CM away from province third week on: Iskandar

PESHAWAR: Parliamentary leader of Qaumi Watan Party (QWP), Iskandar Sherpao Sunday pointed out that Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pervaiz Khattak and his ministers have been taking part in a protest sit-in in Islamabad, using government resources.

Talking to media representatives here on the occasion of workers of various political parties coming into the folds of QWP, Iskandar Sherpao said KP CM and his ministers’ prolonged stay in Islamabad was affecting the provincial affairs.

He said the KP CM Pervaiz Khattak had been invited by China to take a tour of the country in connection with investment in KP province but he refused to undertake the trip which has dealt a blow to the province’s interests.

Sherpao regretted that the central and provincial governments are focusing only on the sit-in in Islamabad whereas no attention is being paid to the plight of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
