NOWSHERA: Qaumi Watan Party, Nowshera chapter, has threatened to launch an agitation against the appointment of class-IV employees and watchmen allegedly by KP chief minister without a proper advertisement at the University of Engineering and Technology (UET)’s campus in Jalozai and PDMA in his constituency.
“The chief minister has appointed class-IV employees and watchmen from his own constituency and if the appointments are not cancelled within five days we would block the roads for all traffic,” warned QWP’s district chairman Waliur Rehman while addressing a press conference at Pabbi Press Club on Thursday. Other local activists of the party were also present on the occasion.
He alleged that people from KP-13 had been appointed at the varsity’s campus and in the Provincial Disaster Management Authority in violation of merit, which was not acceptable to them.
He said that the PTI leaders in Nowshera were violating merit and they would not be allowed to do so.
He said that PTI had ignored the people of Khattak Nama, including several villages, and appointed own people, which was an open violation of rights of the local people. He showed written documents of an agreement made between the university officials and people of Jalozai, also known as Khattak Nama, under which 70 per cent jobs would be given to people of these villages as they had given land for both the projects.
Mr Rehman asked PTI chief Imran Khan to end his sit-in and serve the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
He urged the political parties of Nowshera to come forward and support the people of Khattak Nama for clinching their rights.
He also urged the PTI chief to take notice of the illegal appointments allegedly made by the chief minister.
