PESHAWAR: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s 100-day plan is ‘a brainchild of aliens’, Awami National Party (ANP) General Secretary Mian Iftikhar Hussain said on Tuesday.
Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) provincial chairman Sikandar Sherpao on the other hand called the plan a political stunt.
While talking to media, Mian Iftikhar Hussain said that the 100-day plan appeared to have been designed by ‘aliens’ and that PTI failed to fulfill its 90-day promises to the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) when it came to power.
PTI leadership set poor examples in terms of management and had included Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA)-KP merger in the plan despite the fact that the current government has already taken that decision. He claimed that PTI had boycotted the National Assembly session and delayed the passage of FATA Reforms Bill.
The announcement that 10 million jobs would be created is amusing because appointments in ANP initiated projects were delayed, said Hussain. He added that PTI’s claims of development in KP on social media are incorrect as the poor state of affairs were revealed during chief justice of Pakistan’s visit to the province.
On the other hand, QWP provincial chairman Sikandar Sherpao claimed the 100-day plan was a political stunt because PTI lacked the sincerity required to bring lasting change in the country.
He questioned PTI’s previous 90-day plan and inquired “How it can be possible to execute such a plan in the entire country” in reference to the new one.
Sherpao criticised aspects of the 100-day plan, saying they included provincial subjects and hence a violation of the 18th Amendment. He further said that no change was visible in terms of health or education in KP and no mega-project was launched by PTI in KP. The Bus Rapid Transit could also not be completed which highlighted PTI’s incompetence.
The QWP leader claimed that incomplete schemes are being inaugurated by Chief Minister Pervez Khattak and that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ehtesab Commission, set up to fight corruption, failed to achieve its targers due to political interference.
