Chairman Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao has said that the vital national issues have been ignored on the pretext of Panama case which increased the suffering of Pukhtoons.
Asking for implementation of apex court judgment in its true letter and spirit in connection with Panama case, Mr. Sherpao said, "QWP's Core Committee has been in favour of Judicial Commission instead of formation of Joint Investigation Team (JIT) which could effectively probe Panama issue."
He was addressing a public meeting at Village Mathra, Peshawar. Sherpao deplored that the corruption had penetrated into the body of politics like cancer and it was unacceptable at any level.
QWP chief vehemently pleaded for the cause of democracy saying that the continuation of sustainable democracy would usher a new era of progress and development. He declared QWP would not allow any move which would cause fissures in democratic process. He said that the elections should be held on time so that the durability of the institutions could be ensured.
Regarding the Mashal Khan issue, QWP Chairman said that no such incident has ever taken place in the Pukhtoons society and this incident was damaging for the indigenous traditions and decency. He said that the administration, culprits and the hidden elements were involved in the incident and they are protecting each other.
He regretted that this triangle had become a vicious circle which needed to be exposed. He expressed dissatisfaction over the investigation process which was not in the right direction and was moving at snail's pace which gave rise to doubts.
Sherpao warned that any move to undermine the investigation and protect the culprits and the abettors and facilitators would be strongly resisted. He said that the real culprits and the facilitators were no more hidden and the people had identified the persons and motives behind the incident. If any cover up was made it would be exposed with the popular will, he added.
QWP Chairman said that the ending of blockage of National Identify cards was a right step but is should be implemented as soon as possible. He said that the blockade of CNIC had led to many problems for Pakhtoons.
He regretted that the blockade not only affected the socio-economic activity but it would also deprive them of right to franchise in the election. He demanded that the verification process should be carried out in transparent and judicious manner so as to redress the grievances of Pakhtoons.
On this occasion Senior Minister and Provincial Chairman QWP Sikandar Hayat Khan Sherpao, Provincial General Secretary Hasham Babar and others party leaders also addressed the meeting.
