Governor opposes taxes in Malakand Division

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Governor Faisal Karim Kundi on Saturday vowed to safeguard the rights of the public and the province as far as imposing taxes in Malakand Division was concerned.

Addressing a gathering of party workers and members of the local government at the residence of former Member of National Assembly (MNA) Dr Haider Ali in Khwazakhela, Swat, he emphasized the need for political parties to make decisions with confidence to eliminate lawlessness.

The Governor criticized the current political atmosphere, stating that the party that had guaranteed peace for armed groups today questioned their settlement in the province.

He further underscored that accountability should start with the party that made promises of a population increase and ignored the province’s welfare.
