SWABI, May 1: Jamaat-i-Islami provincial naib amir Mushtaq Ahmad has said that the federal government should reconsider its policies after the killing of 31 people in the Charsadda suicide attack.

Addressing party workers after opening Mal Lara route in Kernel Sher Kili on Tuesday, he said the government had failed on all fronts and people were well aware of the present situation and holding the government responsible for the deteriorating state of law and order.

He said the people were facing the problem of price hike and it was very difficult for them to feed their families.

He said that the government wanted to spread ‘enlightened moderation’, which, he believed, was nothing but a pack of the western values.

He said that the government was considering the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal a great hurdle to implementation of enlightened moderation.

He said that President Musharraf and his government wanted enforcement of “Turkish model” in the country, but that would never be allowed at any cost.

He said the religious parties had already rejected such moves.

Criticising Awami National Party, he said that those who claimed welfare of the Pakhtun community did nothing for them and they had been kept backward by the government.

He said the Pakhtun had always been made scapegoat to achieve the political designs of the establishment.

MNA Mohammad Usman also spoke on the occasion.
