TIMERGARA: Provincial Minister for Sports, Archaeology, Culture and Youth Affairs Mahmood Khan on Thursday said Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) was committed to recovering all looted money.
Speaking at a gathering of party workers at Kambat village in Samarbagh tehsil in Lower Dir district, the provincial minister said that Rs5 billion were plundered in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the previous government.
“The provincial government had ended the “easy load’ culture and ensured recruitments through sheer merit and the people in return expressed full confidence in leadership of PTI during NA-1, Peshawar, by election,” Mahmood Khan said.
He expressed concern over fluctuation of electricity in areas of Jandool and said it was responsibility of Jamaat-I-Islami chief Sirajul Haq and other elected members to have resolved the issue.Mahmood Khan asked the residents to vote for PTI candidate in the upcoming local government by-election.
PTI has fielded Dr Sarbuland Khan, who earlier quit JI and also resigned as tehsil council member. “Imran Khan himself would visit Samarbagh to felicitate the people if PTI candidate Sarbuland Khan won the by-election,” the PTI leader announced. PTI local leaders Muhammad Bashir Khan, Dr Sarbuland Khan, Dr Ubaid, Ali Shah Mishwani, Syed Shakeel Ahmad and others also spoke on the occasion.
