No compromise on law, order in tribal districts: minister

10 Jun, 2019

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Shaukat Yousafzai has vowed that no one will be allowed to disturb law and order situation in tribal districts of the province. "Peace has been restored in tribal area after great sacrifices of security forces and general public," he said, addressing a function, here on Sunday.
He further said that the nation is standing shoulder to shoulder with Pakistan Army for security of the motherland. He said that rehabilitation of infrastructure in the tribal districts is top priority of the government. He said that in the upcoming budget Sehat Sahulat Programme would be extended to the entire KP province.
The minister also commented on PML-N leaders statements on return of Shahbaz Sharif. "Whenever the court summoned the PML-N leaders, they didn't appear on pretext of illness but they had been busy in shopping out of the country," he said.
Yousafzai said if Ishaq Dar is clean man, he must come back to the country and face the courts and stop drama now. He blamed Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari for current crisis in Pakistan. He accused them of looting billions of rupees and transferring them in their foreign accounts.
The KP minister said that the looters couldn't escape accountability through their campaign in the country. He asserted they couldn't pressure or blackmail the government by their weak tactics. "There is no need to launch agitation campaign without any reason. The masses want to know the motive behind the anti-government drive," he said, adding that the protest campaign of the opposition parties is solely aimed at escaping accountability. However, Shaukat Yousafzai said, nation cannot support such looters and robbers whom they already turned down in the last general elections.
