Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) Chairman Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao has criticised the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government for its plan to constitute another Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in the National Assembly.
In a statement issued from Watan Kor here on Saturday, he said that the move would undermine the democratic setup in the country and would spoil atmosphere at the National Assembly. "It seems the government does not want to run the affairs of the National Assembly in a smooth way," he said, adding that the PTI government created deadlock over every issue. Aftab Sherpao said that the bid was aimed at dividing the opposition parties. "Actually the PTI rulers lack the ability and competence to run the government and that is why they are taking such steps to hide their incompetence," he added. The QWP leader said that the National Assembly has never had two public accounts committees, arguing that the attempt was targeted at countering the role of the PAC Chairman Shahbaz Sharif.
He said the government had failed to provide any relief to the people who have been exposed to untold miseries. He said that the people had become disenchanted with the rulers, who reached the corridors of power in the name of change. "The slogan of change was a ploy to deceive the people," he said, adding that those claiming to establish a state on the model of the Medina State had been unable to mitigate the sufferings of the people who are facing price hike, joblessness and poverty.
