NOWSHERA: Awami National Party leader and former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Ameer Haider Khan Hoti on Wednesday said that people had not voted Prime Minister Imran Khan to power but certain invisible forces ‘selected’ him and imposed an ‘incapable’ person on the nation.
“The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government has ruined the country with its flawed foreign and economic policies,” he told media after offering condolences to former candidate National Assembly Khan Pervez Khan on the death of his niece here.
ANP local activists Jamal Khattak, Hamid Ali and others were also present.
Haider Hoti said that the ANP had always supported the pro-democracy forces and will never compromise on the principles.
Coming down hard on the PTI government, he said the rulers had failed on fronts owing to its flawed economic and foreign policies.
He said the incumbent government had only caused destruction and rendered millions of people jobless.
“Prime Minister Imran Khan has deceived the youths of the country by showing green pastures in his speeches while sitting on the container,” he added.
Haider Hoti, who is also Member National Assembly, said that demanding resignations by the opposition parties from the selected rulers was justified and a need of the time.
He said that hike in prices of food items, medicines and inflation was the country’s real issues but despite taking huge loans from international financial institutions during the last three years, the government had no policy to steer the country out of the prevailing economic crisis.
He said the poor people and youths were compelled to commit suicide due to price-hike of the daily use commodities and joblessness in the country.
He said that the leaders of opposition parties were being harassed and victimised through the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and other investigation agencies, which aimed to divert the attention of the people from the real issues.
