CHARSADDA: Qaumi Watan Party provincial chairman Sikandar Hayat Khan Sherpao has said former prime minister Imran Khan should avoid ‘spreading’ chaos and anarchy in the country.

Addressing a gathering of party workers in Shodog union council here on Friday, he said the PTI chief claimed to uphold supremacy of judiciary on one hand, but avoided appearing before courts in various cases on the other, and ‘incited’ his workers against the police.

On the occasion, various political figures and activists announced to join QWP.

Sikandar Sherpao said Imran Khan was ‘trying’ to create anarchy in the country by provoking the youth against state institutions. He said the logic of the PTI chief was incomprehensible as he didn’t see any danger in holding rallies, but didn’t appear in courts claiming he was facing security threat.

He regretted that Pakistan lagged far behind India and Bangladesh in terms of development.

He claimed the government had taken steps to control inflation and provide relief to the inflation-hit people.

Sikandar Sherpao said people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were braving excessive electricity and gas loadshedding despite the fact that the province produced surplus electricity and gas.
