PESHAWAR: Former provincial minister and Jamaat-i-Islami MPA Inayatullah Khan on Sunday expressed reservations over the disbanding of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ehtesab Commission and described the decision total failure of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf government.

Talking to mediapersons at the Peshawar Press Club, he said the previous PTI government had celebrated the establishment of the so-called accountability body, but it disbanded it without any justification. He said huge funds were spent on the formation of the commission, adding there was no one to hold the relevant people accountable.

The JI leader claimed that 80 per cent of the sitting ministers remained part of the former president Gen retired Pervez Musharraf’s regime who, he said, were now raising the mantra of impartial accountability.

Mr Inayatullah said his party’s objections over the BRT project had been proved right. He said millions of rupees had been spent on plantation, beautification and construction of service roads along the GT road in the provincial capital, but these projects were uprooted with the start of the BRT project, thus draining billions of rupees.
