ANP leader Hoti vows to continue struggle for KP rights

TAKHTBHAI: Awami National Party (ANP) leader and former chief minister Ameer Haider Khan Hoti on Thursday vowed to continue struggling for achieving the rights of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and its people.

“The time has come that Pakhtuns must show exemplary unity to achieve the desired goals,” he said while speaking to gatherings as part of election campaigns in various places in Takhtbhai.

ANP local leaders and candidates for various constituencies also addressed the gatherings.

Haider Hoti stressed the need for transparent elections so that those who were chosen by the people were entrusted with the power to rule and serve the people.

He said that KP should have the right over gas and electricity which were produced here but the Centre had always meted out a step-motherly attitude towards the province in the past.

He expressed concern over the lack of peace on Pakhtun soil for a long time. “Terrorism has spread across our region and the main reason for this is that war of other nations was fought here,” he explained.

He said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had ruled the KP for two times but the party leaders had overburdened the province with huge loans instead of bringing development and peace to the region.

He was critical of political engineering and said those who had been brought into newly launched political parties were not popular with the masses.
