Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) Chairman Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao said on Sunday that the process of accountability should be carried out in a transparent manner. He was speaking at the condolence reference for deceased party leader Kifayat Ali Advocate in the Nowshera district. Paying tribute to Kifayat Ali Advocate, he said that the party would always remember him for his services for the cause of democracy.
Aftab Sherpao said the way the process of accountability was being carried out would lead to political tension. He said the rulers were creating problems for those who had brought them into power. "The way the Parliament is being run will have negative impact on the political situation in the country," he remarked. The QWP leader said the foreign minister recently visited four countries but the outcome of his visits was not known.
He criticized the provincial government for wasting millions of rupees on the establishment of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ehtesab Commission (KPEC) which was recently abolished. "The KPEC cost the provincial exchequer over Rs1 billion during the four years of its existence," he maintained. He said the government admitted that the commission failed to check corruption.
Calling for steps to improve bilateral relations with Afghanistan, he said that now the US was also willing to hold negotiations to end the Afghan conflict so Pakistan should also play its role to bring peace to the war-torn country. He warned the rulers against amending the 18th amendment, saying it would create more despondency among the smaller units of the federation.
He demanded that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa should be given its due share of projects in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project. Aftab Sherpao said though the erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) had been merged into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the tribal people were yet to benefit from it in the absence of regular courts. He urged the government to set up regular courts in the merged tribal district to ensure the dispensation of quick justice to the people.
