Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) provincial chief in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) and provincial minister for Irrigation & Power, Sikandar Hayat Khan Sherpao confirmed late on Wednesday that the party was no longer part of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led government in K-P, the Express News reported.

QWP will now sit on opposition bench in the K-P assembly, said Sherpao.

He further added that they will expose the corruption of PTI government in a press conference in Peshawar.

Earlier in the day, PTI led Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government had suspended two QWP provincial ministers for alleged involvement in corrupt practices and poor performance.

That announcement was followed by PTI chief Imran Khan's advisory to the K-P chief minister to end the provincial coalition with QWP.

“Chairman PTI Imran Khan today issued a strong advisory to CM Khyber-Pukhtunkwa to pull out of the coalition with QWP,” a statement from PTI issued on Wednesday evening had read.

If ministers of QWP are corrupt, why IK or PTI is not taking any legal action.If it is so, they should register a case of corruption against them and try them in the court of law. I think just sacking them from cabinet, does not serve the purpose. In fact it is political move, to gain sympathy of innocent people of KPK and Pakistan after utter failure in running the provincial governmental affairs.
