MANSEHRA, Sept 17: MPA Shahzada Mohammad Gustasap Khan, a spokesman for the independent group in the NWFP Assembly, has said that the provincial government has failed to maintain the law and order.

Speaking at a press conference here at the press club on Wednesday, he said the NWFP government was being run by people who did not even know that the law and order situation was a provincial subject.

Referring to a rally convened by JUI-F Ulema on Sept 7, in Phulra, Upper Tanawal, Mr Khan said that amid unprecedented show of sophisticated weapons and rocket launchers in the rally, the JUI-F leadership had shifted the responsibility of deteriorating law and order situation in the district to the local police.

The MPA said that the growing interference of the non-elected people in the affairs of the government departments had shattered the policy of merit, especially, in the education department.

He said the relaxation of ban on transfers was a discretion of the chief minister, but was being misused by the non-elected people.

He said the documentary proofs of the malpractice would also be produced before the House.

Mr KHan said that all the MPAs belonging from the Mansehra district were united and of unanimous views on the uplift of the area and to block the conspiracies being hatched against the interests of the district.
