PESHAWAR: Adviser to Chief Minister on Information and Public Relations Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif on Friday said the claim of a “governance gap” was a slap on the face of the federal government.
He remarked that while the uncle governed at the centre, the niece ruled Punjab, both setting records of bad governance.
He criticized the federal government's cold approach toward Afghanistan, warning that strained relations with the neighbouring country had jeopardized regional peace.
The deteriorating ties with Afghanistan are directly affecting Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the entire nation, he said, adding that the federal government’s poor governance was fomenting terrorism in the country.
Highlighting the financial crisis, he accused the federal government of deliberately withholding funds meant for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in an attempt to create governance issues in the province.
He pointed out that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was the most affected province by terrorism, yet it was being treated unfairly. He called for an end to this discriminatory treatment, emphasizing that the federal government’s lack of support against terrorism reflected its insensitivity.
Saif said that the federal government was merely a spectator to the rising terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, showing no intent to address the crisis.
