PESHAWAR, May 16: Provincial General Secretary of the Pakistan People’s Party (S) Sikander Sherpao has said that people of the NWFP are fed up with wrong policies of the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal, Awami National Party and People’s Party Parliamentarians. He said that the people were dissatisfied with the performance of the provincial government and looking to the federal government. Therefore, the centre should announce a special development package for the NWFP.

He was speaking at a public gathering at Ittehad Colony here on Monday, where People’s Party Parliamentarians activist Sarbuland Khan announced that he had resigned from the party and joined the PPP-S with his family and supporters.

Mr Sherpao said that deterioration in law and order situation coupled with rising unemployment price hike had created uncertainty among the people.

He accused the MMA of breaching trust of the NWFP people and said that its provincial government had failed to take concrete measure for enforcement of Shariat and to solve problems of the people.

Mr Sherpao accused the Awami National Party of betraying the Pukhtoons through its flawed policies and said that the ANP always ignored the rights of Pukhtoons when it was in power but became their sympathizer while in opposition.

The PPP-S leader said that the Awami National Party blamed the Punjab for plight of Pukhtoons but the party was itself responsible for backwardness of Pukhtoons.
