QWP rejects PTI’s call for snap polls

PESHAWAR: Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) Chairman Aftab Sherpao on Monday rejected the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf call for early polls.

In a statement, he contended that the strengthening of the democratic institutions would be instrumental in political stability and financial prosperity. “We want the government to complete its term. This statement [by Imran Khan] reflects his political immaturity and PTI doesn’t have any plan, except disturbing the system,” Aftab Sherpao said.

Aftab Sherpao disagreed with the PTI chairman’s demand for fresh mandate by holding early general elections in the country and deplored that it is an unwise and a non-serious move which would affect the democratic process.

The QWP chief said Imran Khan loses everything due to hasty acts. He advised the PTI chairman to learn from his past mistakes which resulted in serious difficulties for the KP and country and slowed the pace of the progress.

Aftab Sherpao said the PTI-led government had failed to deliver during the last four years in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa despite tall claims of a change. He said that PTI had obtained votes by making false commitments of bringing change in the province, but its leaders failed to do practical work.

The QWP chief said the ruling party KP could not bring about any change in the lives of the people. He said the provincial government had not paid attention to the problems of the people of the KP.

Aftab Sherpao said his party wanted the national and provincial assemblies to complete terms as the continuation of democratic process would ensure the provision of due share in national resources to all federating units.
