CHARSADDA, April 23: Interior Minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao has said that his party was addressing problems of the downtrodden.

Speaking at a public gathering at Ziam village in Tangi tehsil after the inauguration of natural gas supply to some areas on Saturday, the minister said certain elements had misled the masses through slogans but the Pakistan People’s Party had introduced a concept of development-oriented politics to bring the average citizens’ interests in the mainstream politics.

The supply of gas will benefit the Ziam union council and Ahmadabad.
