PESHAWAR, Oct 13: Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) has urged all the nationalists to unite and make collective efforts for restoration of peace and solution of other serious problems being faced by people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Referring to the impacts of withdrawal of US-led Nato forces from Afghanistan, QWP chairman Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao told a press conference at his Hayatabad residence on Sunday that the rulers should work out a clear and effective strategy for the post-2014 scenario.
On this occasion, nationalist leader Hashim Babar and his supporters announced to join the QWP.
Mr Sherpao said that every party should focus on restoration of peace because development was impossible without peace. He asked the government to support the oppressed people.
He said that Pakhtuns were facing numerous problems due to wrong policies of the previous government that did not focus on the real issues of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
He said that the rulers should seek permanent solution to the lawlessness in the country, particularly in KP. He said that Khyber Pakht-unkhwa had abundance of natural gas and oil, but its people were subjected to the worst kind of power loadshedding.
Mr Sherpao said that the federal government should withdraw the recent increase in power tariff and prices of petroleum products, as people were already grappling with skyrocketing inflation.
