CHITRAL: Khyber Pakhtu-nkhwa Minister for Food Muhammad Zahir Shah said on Wednesday that the federal government employed every tactic to block the path of those who champion the slogan of real ‘change’.

“Imran Khan is the name of a true change and a bulwark against the corruption in the country, and the people of Pakistan are not ready to forget his name,” the minister said while talking to reporters here.

He said that the purpose of his visit to Chitral was to check the quality of the purchased wheat.The minister added that, following Chief Minister Amin Ali Gandapur’s 11-point public agenda, special tasks had been assigned to deputy commissioners to address local issues, resulting in the effective resolution of public problems.
