Lust of power, corruption root causes of backwardness: CM

F.P. Report

PESHAWAR: Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pervez Khattak has said that lust for power, rampant corruption and irregularities were the root causes of institutional decadence and the backwardness of people. This unfortunate country was ruled by corrupt elite and the political elite could not escape the blame for bringing the country to the present pass.

He was addressing a 100 member Jirga who switched from their respective political parties and announced joining PTI at Chief Minister House Peshawar.

The Chief Minister regretted that corrupt politicians who promoted corruption were out there to hoodwink the innocent again. These corrupt politicians corrupted the whole political spectrum. Their misdeeds led the country to total devastation. They cannot escape the blame for all the wrongs and corrupt practices, he added.

He said the corrupt elite made politics on transfers and postings of doctors and teachers, promoted politics in institutions that rendered the institutions dysfunctional and the system undeliverable. The poor suffered and the elite class severed its purposes. They promoted the politics of deceit, making false promises with mismatch between their words and actions, he added. He said a society that stands on injustice could not sustain for long. The people got fed up with the previous rulers and exercised their vote for PTI in the previous elections.
