PESHAWAR, March 11: NWFP Assembly member from Swat, Shamsul Rehman Shams of the Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid-i-Azam), on Thursday asked the provincial government to resign after being criticized for its failure by a Jamaat-i-Islami leader.
In a statement, Mr Shams appreciated the JI chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed's son's statement against the provincial government. "The provincial government should immediately resign on moral grounds after Mr Asif Luqman Qazi, who also acts as special assistant to the JI chief, has termed the provincial government a failure," said the PML-Q MPA.
He said that in the light of Mr Luqman's statement the provincial government should either improve its working or resign on moral grounds. He said the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal had failed to deliver in its one-year rule in the NWFP and accused it of failing to control corruption, unemployment, obscenity and lawlessness in the Frontier province.
"After ignoring smaller parties of the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal, the alliance's two major components - the JUI-F and JI - have started fighting each other. "In such a situation, how would they serve the people and remove their problems," the MPA queried.
