PML-N lawmakers criticise KP govt over security, governance

ABBOTTABAD  – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lawmakers on Sunday criticised the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government over the prov­ince’s law and order situation, terrorism and alleged governance failures, holding a rally and distributing sweets following the imposition of an emergency in the province. Addressing a press conference at the Abbottabad Press Club, MNA Dr Shaista Jadoon said terrorism, worsening law and order and poor gov­ernance had made life increasingly difficult for res­idents of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

She alleged that Chief Minister Sohail Afridi was concentrating on political activities outside the prov­ince instead of addressing public concerns at home. She said security personnel were sacrificing their lives in the fight against terrorism, while the provin­cial government had failed to respond adequately to the security challenges. Dr Jadoon also criticised the provincial government’s performance in healthcare, education and infrastructure.

MPAs Aamna Sardar, Syeda Shehla Shah and Faiza Malik also attended the press conference and voiced concerns over the province’s security situation and the provincial government’s performance.
