Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Mahmood Khan Achakzai has termed opposition parties’ claim of tabling a no-confidence motion against him a joke, owing to the fact that they [the ruling government] had a two-third majority in the province.
The chief minister made these comments during an address at a rally in Chakesar on Monday. Provincial Minister Shaukat Yousafzai, former provincial minister Abdul Munim Khan, candidate for tehsil chairman Akhtar Ali Chitan and others were also present.
Achakzai said that the members of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly were Prime Minister Imran Khan’s soldiers. He added that they would not shift their loyalties. The enthusiastic people of the province always supported the premier and would continue to do so, he further said.
He said that the attendance of a large number of people from KP in the Islamabad rally was a lesson for the opposition. The chief minister said that Imran Khan was a leader, who gave the country an independent foreign policy.
He said that the prime minister highlighted the Kashmir issue at the international level in an extraordinary manner. He took a jibe at Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, that he was the chairman of Kashmir committee for 18 years, but did not bring up the plight of the Kashmiris. His party ruled the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the name of Islam but didn’t do anything for religion, he added.
