PESHAWAR: Criticizing the federal government for the unprecedented hike in POL prices, Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) chairman Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao said Prime Minister Imran Khan had buckled under the pressure of oil mafia.
He was addressing a gathering of political workers at Watan Kor here on Sunday. On the occasion, former tehsil council member Shaukat Ali Khan, Iqbal Hussain Balay and scores of workers hailing from Swat district announced joining the QWP.
QWP provincial chairman Sikandar Hayat Khan Sherpao, former MPA Adnan Wazir, QWP Swat chairman Sher Bahadurzada Khan and general secretary Razaullah Khan Advocate were also present.
Aftab Sherpao said the government was sharing wrong statistics about the number of deaths of Covid-19 and the patients as it had failed to bring the situation under control. He said people were dying, but there were no facilities at hospitals. "The formation of tiger force was a political gimmick and no relief was provided to the people," he maintained.
The QWP leader said the prime minister was in the habit of issuing conflicting statements.
