NOWSHERA: Qaumi Watan Party local leaders claimed on Monday that Pakistan Tehreek-i-Pakistan-led provincial government had disappointed the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

`The poor performance of the provincial government has forced the residents of KP to rethink their support to PTI,` said QWP district president Wallur Rehman, while addressing a public meeting at Kheshgi. He said that people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had rejected the PTI chief Imran Khan`s call for participating in the protest sit-in at the federal capital.

Mr Rehman said the provincial government had failed to protect rights of its people and now it was in a bid to hide its failure through different pretexts.

Another leader, Engineer Zulfiqar Aziz said that the QWP had a complete programme of Pakhtuns` development. He alleged that on one hand people were facing price hike, over-billing, loadshedding, law and order situation and joblessness, while on the other irresponsible KP rulers were busy in illegal protest in Islamabad. `The PTI has forgotten all the promises it made with the people during the last general elections,` he maintained.

Mr Aziz claimed that QWP was an ideological party and had been gaining popularity in the country.QWP district general secretary Somad Khan, vice-chairman Daud Khan, chairman Ishtiaq Khattak, Khadim Hussain, Yaseen Khan and Khurshid alias Khan Jee were also in attendance. Correspondent
