Peshawar—The PPP provincial leaders while condemning the attitude of
their senior coalition partner ANP have demanded of President Asif
Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to replace the
NWFP Governor and appoint a PPP leader to the post.
Addressing a news conference at press club on Monday, provincial
deputy general secretary Zulfiqar Afghani said that the Awami
National Party was leading coalition government of NWFP while the
post of the governorship was the right of Pakistan People’s Party
(PPP).
Ayub Shah, Muhammad Iqbal, Saeed Ahmad Khan and other provincial
leaders of the party were also present on the occasion. The
provincial PPPP leadership came hard on ANP led government for its
poor performance.
Criticizing the ANP led government Zulfiqar said that the PPP
provincial ministers were completely powerless as they were being
ignored by ANP government, which spread unrest among the PPP
workers. He said that Zakat chairmen in all districts of the
province were selected from ANP workers while PPP provincial
leadership and provincial ministers were not taken into confidence
in this regard and PPP workers were being ignored as well regarding
new employments.
About the Mardan University, he said the University should be named
as ‘Benazir Bhutto University’ because slain leader Mohtarma had
herself suggested for a University in the district. “No other name
will be acceptable without Benazir Bhutto University,” he explained.
Regarding flour crisis in the province, he said that there was no
check over the flour dealers and one roti was sold on 6 rupees and a
bag of 20 kg was sold on Rs 720 in the province while in Punjab per
bread was sold on 2 rupees and the bag of 20 kg for Rs 320 in the
holy month
