Peshawar: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Muhammad Sohail Afridi has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has given all powers, including negotiating with the government or running a movement, to Mahmood Khan Achakzai and Senator Allama Raja Nasir Abbas.
Talking to the media on the occasion of his visit to Jamrud, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Muhammad Sohail Afridi clarified that the future political course of action will be decided in consultation with these leaders, while the other important directive of the PTI founder is regarding the street movement, for which practical preparations have been started.
He stated that he was not aware of any kind of displacement in the Tirah Valley; however, information has been received that agreements have been forcibly signed by the local citizens of the Tirah Valley, which is a matter of concern.
He said that if any matter comes to him regarding what is happening to the helpless citizens of Tirah Valley, he will definitely talk and protect the rights of the people, but so far, no official has contacted him regarding any possible operation in Tirah Valley.
Talking about the development of the merged districts, Sohail Afridi said that he has already announced a development package of one thousand billion rupees for the merged districts. The government is taking serious steps to bring the merged districts into the national mainstream and provide basic facilities to the people there.
The Chief Minister said that all decisions for the solution of public problems and political stability will be made in consultation and within the constitutional framework, and no compromise will be made on the interests of the people of the province.
