SWAT (Dunya News) - Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Amir Muqam has claimed that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have rejected what he described as “politics of chaos” and expressed their desire for peace, development and prosperity.
Addressing a rally in Swat, Muqam said the lack of public support for PTI’s protest call demonstrated that the people of the province preferred development over political confrontation.
He said the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were politically aware and had made their priorities clear. “Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not anyone’s personal property,” he said, adding that the public wanted progress rather than unrest.
Criticising PTI, the federal minister said the party had been given the mandate to govern the province three times but had failed to meet public expectations. He alleged that corruption and mismanagement had prevailed during PTI’s tenure, claiming that the province had suffered over the past 13 years.
Muqam also said the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were welcoming the initiatives taken by the federal government.
He highlighted the sacrifices made by the province’s residents in the fight against terrorism, saying their contributions should not be overlooked.
The minister maintained that the people of the province wanted lasting peace, economic development and prosperity instead of protests and political unrest.
