Addressing a press conference at the Peshawar press club, Sabir Shah said that Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak, along with all senior ministers and speaker of the K-P Assembly, was busy in protests, leaving no one behind to run the province.
This, he said, was not the first time that the provincial government had busied itself in such protests. “They were similarly engaged back in 2014 which badly affected (the pace of) development projects,” he said.
“These protests are against national stability,” said Sabir Shah. “They want to destabilise the democratic set-up and the government which have the mandate of the people.”
Accusing PTI leaders of having failed to deliver in accordance with people’s expectations, he said that they just wanted to grab power.
“Dreaming of becoming the prime minister is not a bad thing, but it should only be achieved by serving the people instead of just protests.
PTI, he said, should have made the province a role model for the rest of the country.
Appreciating PML-N’s governance, Sabhir Shah said that the incumbent government had delivered on its promises and it would present itself before the people in the next general elections on the basis of its performance.
According to him, PML-N had fulfilled all its electoral promises. “Power outages are now on the decline and by 2018, load-shedding will be completely eliminated,” Sabir Shah maintained. The incumbent government, he said, had restored peace in the country and the national economy was in much better condition and efforts were being made to create employment opportunities.
