Though Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has been actively pursuing a structural positive change in the country’s governance system, it seems the revolutionary leader has serious challenges from within his own party.
Documents available with Pakistan Today have revealed that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Pervez Khattak doled out a sum of over Rs 80.49 million to 993 officials of various departments from grade-22 to grade-one in the name of “honorarium” during the fiscal year 2014-15.
It seems that Pervez Khattak, who is a traditional politician and has been part and parcel of the rotten political system before joining the PTI around three years back, changed his party affiliation but could not get rid of his old habits.
