SWABI: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leaders MNA Usman Khan Tarakai and provincial health minister Shahram Khan Tarakai on Thursday warned PML-N leader Amir Muqam to stop meddling in their constituencies, NA-12 and PK-32 in Swabi, otherwise they would raise this issue in the National Assembly and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly.

Talking to media persons here, they said that if they did not get justice from the assemblies then they would file a writ petition against him in the court. They said that if Mr Muqam, who is adviser to the prime minister, was really interested in plaque installations he should do it in his hometown of Shangla.

“We will not bear Mr Muqam’s continued interference in our constituencies,” they said and asked him to stay away from their constituencies because this was against democratic norms.

PTI MNA, provincial minister allege PML leader meddling in their constituencies

In a reference to Mr Muqam’s scheduled public meeting on Feb 10 at Shewa Adda in Razaar tehsil here, the MNA and provincial minister said that doing politics was the right of everyone, but defaming and targeting the opponents in a way adopted by the PM’s adviser was not acceptable to them.

Sources said that former adviser to KP chief minister, Jan Badar Khan, and Shiraz Ikram would quit Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf and join PML-N in the Feb 10 public meeting. Both were strong supporters of Tarakais in the previous elections.

“The gas project Mr Muqam has planned to inaugurate had been sanctioned by me. The adviser should think for a while that who was behind this project,” said Mr Usman. He said that Mr Muqam was not an elected representative and as such he had no right to inaugurate schemes sanctioned by others.

Mr Shahram claimed that the PML-N leaders failed to work for the welfare of KP people and had focused only on Punjab province.
