Khattak vows to bring peace, prosperity to KP

NOWSHERA: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-Parliamentarians(PTIP) chairman Pervez Khattak on Thursday said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa would witness a new era of peace and development if his party was voted to power in the province.

“Our manifesto for the general elections is an outline for peace, development and reforms in education, health and all other sectors. And the people will see a new era of development if the PTIP comes into power,” he told gatherings as part of election campaigns in various places of the district.

The PTIP candidate for NA-34 and PK-89, Dr Imran Khattak, PK-85 aspirant Ibrahim Khattak, PK-86 candidate Ismail Khattak and others also addressed the gatherings.

Pervez Khattak said that the PTIP will make all-out efforts for justice, meritocracy and equal rights for all as well as development in all spheres of economy besides ending joblessness and bringing agricultural and Industrial revolution in the province.

He also lambasted the leaders of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, Pakistan People’s Party, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl and Awami National Party for their failure to deliver during their governments in the province and country.

Pervez Khattak also lashed out at the former prime minister Imran Khan for chanting hollow slogans of ‘change’ and ‘Naya Pakistan’ and doing nothing practical for improving the standard of life of common man.

“My government will ensure enrolment of all children in schools, provision of health, education and food cards to all the citizens of the province,” he vowed, adding that his government would also strive to create equal opportunities of development for all segments of society.

He claimed that when he was the chief minister of the province, the police department was reformed but still the people were not satisfied with the performance of the police.

Pervez Khattak said his party believed that the future was in modern agriculture techniques, so its government would provide a framework for land utilisation to irrigate the un-irrigated land through flood dams.

He said after coming to power, his party would also bring the merged tribal districts on a par with other parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through massive development and provision of basic services to the people.

He also promised a business-friendly atmosphere across the province and said during his party’s rule, all relevant government departments would provide assistance to businesses and startups for growth.
