PTI workers seek action against MPA

2015-07-09
PESHAWAR: The workers of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf belonging to KP-III constituency have demanded of the government to stop development funds of the MPA concerned, Javed Naseem, and freeze his bank accounts for what they called changing loyalty.

Addressing a press conference at Peshawar Press Club on Wednesday, PTI workers including Shahzeb, Tahir Zaman Shinwari, Arif Khan Mohmand and Mohammad Imran said that the MPA had extended full support to the rival candidates of PTI in the May 30 local government elections but even then the party emerged successful in the polls.

`We had helped Javed Naseem in getting ticket and then ran campaign for himin the general elections but now he changed his loyalty,` they said and added that the same lawmaker was now not ready to talk to PTI workers.

Mr Shahzeb alleged that the MPA had joined hands with leaders of opposition parties, especially PML-N and JUI-F. He was hatching conspiracies against PTI but the workers would not let him succeed in his designs, he added.

He said that the MPA was least bothered to consult the party activists while initiating any development scheme. It caused serious concern among the workers, he added.

Mr Shahzeb demanded of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak to constitute a committee to launch inquiry into utilisation of funds meant for development of PK-III Peshawar constituency. The provincial government, he said, should spend the development funds through a committee of the PTI workers in PK-III instead of releasingit toMPA JavedNaseem.

`The MPA has now nothing to do with PTI and the party should promote its other sincere workers for the future elections. In case the party doesn`t take action against the MPA then the workers will observe a sit-in outside the residence of Imran Khan in Bani Gala to convey him their grievances,` Mr Shahzeb said.
