Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) has condemned the demolition of the monument of Hayat Khan Sherpao Shaheed during the ongoing construction work on Bus Rapid Transport project and sought the explanation from the provincial government in this regard. Addressing at a press conference at press club here on Tuesday, QWP provincial information secretary, Tariq Ahmad Khan said that the avenue of Hayat Khan Sherpao Shaheed was demolished by provincial government without sharing prior information about it with the party.
He said the Bus Rapid Transport project has made the life of people miserable. He said the avenue was not part of the BRT project, so why it was demolished, he asked. He strongly condemned the step of the provincial government, which was created great unrest among the workers of the party.
Accompanied by the party city district chairman Malik Sher Bahadur Khan, district Peshawar chairman Haji Shafi Daudzai, chairman Watan Pal Students Imtiaz Naseem and others, Tariq Khan said that Hayat Khan Sherpao Shaheed, younger brother of Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao was rendered matchless sacrifices for the people of the province and country, who could not remove from hearts of the people by taking such steps.
He warned that the QWP workers would remove signboard of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chairman, Imran Khan and Chief Minister Pervez Khattak as well as boards and banners of different projects inaugurated by them, if the provincial government was failed to explain about taking such step within a week. He said the party will take the issue at the floor of the provincial assembly.
It is pertinent to mention here that Hayat Khan Sherpao shaheed was a former governor of the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan and one of the co-founders of the Pakistan Peoples Party. His political life was full of turmoil but he proved to be a popular leader. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the leader of Pakistan Peoples Party made him the party head in the North-West Frontier Province when he formed the PPP in 1967. Hayat Sherpao was later assassinated in 1975 in a bomb explosion.
