PESHAWAR, Aug 30: The Federal Minister of State for Water and Power and the provincial president of Pakistan Muslim League, Amir Muqam, said that the PML-Q-backed Khushhal Pakistan Panel would form independent governments in seven districts of NWFP.

Speaking at a press conference here on Monday, he said that during the two general voting process masses had reposed confidence in the KPP, and given it an opportunity to form government in seven districts without the support of any other group or party.

He criticised the JI-ANP political alliance and termed it a political death for both the extreme wings’ idealist parties.

Flanking by MPA Nighat Yasmin Orakzai, Haji Ehsan Ullah and some other leaders, he said that the provincial government had failed to address the masses’ problems and this was the reason that voters rejected the MMA nominees during the election process and voted for KPP candidates.

The opposition of the ruling Muslim League claimed that the party had no roots in masses, however, the victory of the league proved that all such claims were just allegations.

Replying to a question Mr Muqam claimed that his party had won considerable seats in NWFP, while he thanked the voters and assured them of solving every problem amicably.

When he was asked about low turnout, the state minister said the casting of more than 50 per cent votes proved that Pakistanis had strong faith in President Gen Pervez Musharraf’s introduced district governments as this was the only option to empower them at their door steps.

Unveiling the federal government plans for social uplift of the province, he said that the government had worked out plans for the development and in this regard claimed that very soon the province in general and Peshawar in particular would be made centre of attention. “Soon the masses of this province would feel that Muslim League once again paid the same level of attention once they witnessed during the period of late Qayum Khan,” he maintained.
