KP CM in Abbottabad

ABBOTTABAD: Chief Minister Pervez Khattak on Sunday visited the city to offer condolences to Adviser on Information and Higher Education Mushtaq Ahmed Ghani on the death of his mother.

The chief minister’s helicopter landed at the Cricket Ground on Murree Road where the trials of the Under-19 cricket team were taking place. Mushtaq Ghani's mother breathed her last on Saturday night after protracted illness.

She was buried at her ancestral graveyard at Kehal after her funeral prayer was offered at the Government College ground. The chief minister remained with Mushtaq Ghani and other members of the bereaved family for some time and expressed grief and sorrow on the death of his mother. He offered Fateha for the deceased.

Pervez Khattak also expressed sympathies to Mushtaq Ghani on the death of his sister who died last week. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Public Health Engineering Shah Farman, Minister for Food Qalandhar Lodhi, Deputy Speaker National Assembly Murtaza Javed Abbasi, Member Provincial Assembly Sardar Muhammad Idrees, Member National Assembly Dr Muhammad Azhar Jadoon, local leaders of Pakistan Tehreek-e--Insaf and certain politicians and a large number of well-wishers were present on the occasion.

PML-N leader Amir Muqam was quick to hold a press conference in Peshawar to criticise the chief minister and his government for disrupting the cricket trials in Abbottabad by landing the helicopter at the Cricket Ground on Murree road.
