KOHAT, Sept 14: Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf leader Masood Sharif Khattak has claimed that only PTI can rid the people of corrupt government and implement real justice system in the country.

He was speaking at a public meeting here in Shakardarra on Friday. He deplored that development of Shakardarra had been ignored though the town was giving profit of millions of rupees daily in the shape of gas and oil production. He said that if PTI came into power they would construct colleges, hospital and water supply scheme for people of the town.

Mr Khattak asked people of Shakardarra whether they wanted to become part of adjacent Mianwali district of Punjab or remain part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

He said that both Bangikhel Khattaks of Mianwali and Saghari Khattaks of Shakardarra had many things in common and they could live in complete peace together. He advised them to take the decision now and suggested that it would be better for them to remain with Kohat district.
