KOHAT, Oct 18: Former Intelligence Bureau chief and leader of Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf Major (retd) Masood Sharif has said the present government has failed to start any mega project in the Karak district.

Addressing a public meeting at Khattak Colony on Thursday, he said the provincial minister of jails was doing politics on hand pumps and electricity poles. He said the people of Karak would not elect him in the next elections. Mr Masood said due to delay in approval of projects as a result of corruption the jobless youth were frustrated and adopting anti-social activities. He hoped that PTI would clean sweep the elections.
