F.P. Report

PESHAWAR: Central General Secretary Awami National Party, Mian Iftikhar Hussain Monday said that main reason behind Peshawar Metro Project is to generate commission and its completion is beyond the capabilities of PTI led provincial government.

Addressing a ceremony to welcome new party entrants at Pabbi, he said that people of the province were being deceived by misleading slogans and nothing important has been delivered to people who voted PTI in power.

He said that is astonishing that those who issued critique against metro project of Punjab have started the same scheme for their commission in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

He said that provincial metropolis of Peshawar has been turned into ruins after the star of metro project. Mian Iftikhar said that despite fighting the menace of militancy provincial exchequer was brimming when ANP left power but on the contrary KP province in facing huge debt of Rs. 300 billion during four and a half year tenure of PTI. He said that provincial government has misused provincial resources for their own benefits.

He said that ANP lost hundreds of workers in fight against militancy and rendered matchless sacrifices for the noble cause. ANP leader said that Chinese ambassador has also appreciated role of ANP for peace and also assured that rightful share would be given to Pakhtuns in western corridor.
