PESHAWAR:<\/strong> A Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmaker launched a sharp criticism of his own party’s leadership and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government during a session of the provincial assembly, questioning its performance and calling for a change in strategy regarding the party founder’s release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the assembly floor, Shah Tarab Khan<\/strong> said PTI secured a two-thirds majority<\/strong> in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa because of the popularity of the party’s founder, who, he noted, has been in jail for the past three years<\/strong>, while the current party leadership continues to enjoy privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He argued that the provincial government was no longer being taken seriously by the bureaucracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“If the government itself is not serious, the bureaucracy will not take it seriously either,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The PTI lawmaker also criticized the state of public services, claiming that hospitals lacked both doctors and essential medicines and alleging that merit had been undermined in the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shah Tarab Khan further alleged that some members of the current party leadership were not interested in the release of PTI’s founder<\/strong>, claiming they feared losing their influence and benefits if he returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that if the party leadership had remained committed to its campaign, the founder’s sisters would not have had to take the lead themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawmaker also pointed out that no major protest had been held in the past three months<\/strong>, suggesting that the party should adopt a different approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He called for the formation of a jirga or negotiation panel<\/strong> to engage with the establishment regarding the release of the PTI founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If jirgas can be formed for other important matters, they can also be constituted for this issue,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shah Tarab Khan added that if negotiations were not possible, those responsible should step down and allow others to take charge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
