Engineer Ihsanullah Khan, a local leader of Jamaat-i-Islami has said that the residents of union council Baist Khel have been confronted with various problems due to protracted absence of the naib nazim Inamullah Khan who left for abroad some two and a half years ago.
While talking to local journalists here on Sunday, he maintained that Inamullah Khan went abroad soon after assuming the office of naib nazim union council Baist Khel in the past elections of local government.
"The said naib nazim deceived the people and grabbed their votes by hook or by crook in the local government elections and now he is away of the country enjoying the luxurious life in Western countries leaving his problems-stricken voters in particular and the inhabitants of union council Baist Khel in general on the mercy of God", he disclosed and revealed that the Baist Khel council was lagging behind in field of progress and development from other union councils of the district owing to the absence of naib nazim.
He added that on one hand naib nazim union council Baist Khel was minting money by engaging himself in some way of business in one of the Western countries while on the other hand the poor dwellers of his council had come under the tight grip of tremendous hardships and problems.
According to local government ordinance a naib nazim can be removed from his office if he fails to attend three continuos meetings of town council but the naib nazim of union council Baist Khel is still occupying the portfolio of naib nazim despite violating the ordinance", he continued and demanded of the provincial government, higher authorities of local bodies and MNA Maulana Amanullah Khan to take notice of the situation and terminate the absent naib nazim from his office, thus paving the way for a people friendly leader top be elected as naib nazim from Baist Khel union council to the serve the local population of the area.
