PESHAWAR: The federal government has agreed to fulfill several demands regarding China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project due to consistent pressure of the provincial government, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government`s spokesperson Mushtaq Ahmed Ghani claimed on Wednesday.

Speaking at a news conference at the Peshawar Press Club, he said initially the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province was ignored by the federal government as `nothing` was given to it in the multi-billion dollar project.

However, he said, now several development schemes had been incorporated in the project for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

`Initially, the federal government had only verbally accepted the provincial government`s demands but now it has accepted some demands in written as minutes of the last meeting on the project have been shared with us,` Mr Ghani said.

The spokesperson came down heavily on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for inaugurating old schemes during the public rallies in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Unlike the Punjab government, which is utilising billions of rupees on the metro and orange train projects, the PTI-led provincial government has brought improvement in education, health and other departments, he claimed.

Mr Ghani said the civilised prime ministers world over had always resigned or presented themselves for accountability whenever they were embroiled in a corruption scandal, but Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, instead of resigning, had been staging public rallies for image building.
