The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) government is better than its counterparts as it is dispensing blind justice and even sacked its own ministers accused of corruption. The statement was made by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday while campaigning for his party’s candidate for by-polls in PK-86 on April 24.
Addressing a rally in Khwazakhela, Imran said K-P will soon have 350 dams which will help end load-shedding in the country. “If the authority to distribute power was handed over to the provincial government, they would have surplus electricity and would be able to sell it to the other provinces.”
The government has launched several hydropower projects in Swat and soon the region will have sufficient electricity, claimed Imran.
The former cricket captain said sports grounds will be built in every union council to divert the youth’s attention towards healthy activities.
Talking about security affairs, the PTI leader claimed the provincial police have been made completely autonomous. “If the Karachi police was made as independent, law and order in the port city would improve tremendously.”
Imran lashed out at the National Highways Authority (NHA), saying if it does not want to construct roads in Swat, the contract will be given to the provincial government. Not a single project has been completed by the NHA in the district since the past five years, he pointed out.
