KP CM Afridi assails Punjab, federal govts in Hyderabad

HYDERABAD (Dunya News) - Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has once again lashed out at the attitude of the federal and Punjab governments pertaining to the issue of outstanding funds.

Speaking to the media here on Saturday, Sohail Afridi said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not getting rights from the federation, adding, ‘People of the province are being discriminated against. The attitude of the alleged fake Punjab government towards us has been imprinted on our hearts. The rally will be held there in any case.’

The CM said, ‘Our mandate was robbed, we had a government in the federation, the federal government makes decisions on someone else's instructions.

‘This is the first time a chief minister has come here from the tribal districts, while ships are always waiting for the CMs of other provinces.’

The share of the National Finance Commission (NFC) is not being distributed among the four provinces. The tribal districts were only included in the administrative share, not the financial one, he went on saying.
