“We welcome this decision as it will help bring transparency in the electoral process,” Mr Sherpao told a public meeting at Bakhshoo Pull locality on the outskirts of Peshawar. He said that general election was drawing nearer and making recruitment in government departments at this stage would be tantamount to influencing electorate and pre-poll rigging.
He also lauded the ECP for banning diversion of funds already allocated to various development schemes and said that the commission should take notice of the pre-poll rigging.
Mr Sherpao said that the rulers were claiming that peace had been restored, but the situation on ground belied all such assertions. “The security situation is deteriorating day by day,” he maintained.
He said that the government had failed to overcome power crisis and no solid step was taken over past five years to revive the economy. He said that unemployment had increased manifold, which was a matter of concern.
Mr Sherpao said that people were exposed to a host of problems and no effort had been made to give them relief in the face of burgeoning inflation.
“The poor are running from pillar to post to arrange a two-time meal for their children, while the rulers have been enjoying a luxurious lifestyle,” he said.
The QWP leader claimed that his party was the true representative of Pakhtuns and if voted to power they would take all possible steps for securing the rights of people.
“Thousands of people hailing from tribal areas are living under squalid conditions at IDP camps as they have been abandoned by the government,” he maintained.
He said that masses were bearing the brunt of militancy owing to flawed policies of the rulers. He said that militancy had battered the infrastructure in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but no step had been taken to revive it.
QWP leaders, including its provincial president Sikandar Sherpao, MPA Babar Ali and Malik Nadeem, were also present on the occasion
