THE Khyber Pakhtunkhwa people have once again elected PTI. This is a crystal clear message and food for thought for the out rightly defeated right-wing and nationalist parties to think about their approach towards the masses.

Their incoherent and dubious religious-political mantra has lost its appeal. The PTI policy of prioritising human resource development and capacity building in health and education sector has borne fruitful results in KP.

There is a dire need for all stakeholders in power corridors to shun self-serving politics and develop a broad consensus and national narrative to play a proactive role in the holistic development of the resourceful our strategically important country.
