PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – The Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) has prepared a draft for joining the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government and according to the copy that Dunya News has obtained, QWP has asked for a ‘strong guarantor’ before joining the party.

PTI, after inviting QWP into the government coalition, now faces conditions for it. Keeping the harsh past experience in check, the QWP has now prepared a draft in which they have asked for a ‘strong guarantor’.

The draft also suggests formation of four-member committee that will keep an eye on the government matters. Any matter arising amongst the coalition partners will be presented to the committee instead of taking an immediate action on it. The committee will then have the authority to rule on it.

The matter will be sent to chairmen of the conflicting parties if the committee is unable to resolve the issue. The draft further says that the ruling party PTI will be bound to take QWP into confidence over provincial and national matters.

The parliamentary leader of the QWP will also meet the Chief Minister at least once a week. The sources said that the draft’s copy has been handed over to PTI and that the consultation over it is ongoing.

The draft is expected to come into effect in the coming week.
