ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senior leader Sherry Rehman on Thursday warned the opposition parties against harming the country. “The Senate is a symbol of the federation and any misadventure against Pakistan will not be tolerated”.
Talking to media in Islamabad, Sherry Rehman said: “The president had said in his speech that the country should be moved forward by holding talks with everybody.”
Meanwhile, separately, PPP leader Akhunzada Chatan said today that the “blue-eyed” rule had damaged the economic situation of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Addressing the press conference, Chatan said: “The blue-eyed rule is behind the fresh wave of terror in KP. There is a need to change the policy in Afghanistan. Our policy in connection with Afghanistan has failed on many accounts.”
“It is due to the ill-planned policies that the country is facing a new wave of terror. No implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP) was done. There is also no sign of the implementation of NAP in the future,” the PPP stalwart said.
Chatan asked Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur to convene the meeting pertaining to terrorism.
“Even the KP governor had never convened the meeting of the jirga to address the problems. There is a dire need to summon the meeting of the jirga in line with the terrorism issues faced by the emerging districts.”
Highlighting the challenges faced by the KP in terms of education, Chatan said: “Unfortunately, the students have no books in the KP to study.”
