PTI asks KP govt to pass conflict of interest law
By Amir Jalil Bobra
ISLAMABAD: The Core Committee of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has urged the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to immediately pass a conflict of interest law.
In its meeting Wednesday, the committee also decided that no PTI Core Committee member will do any business with the government in that province. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak informed the Core Committee that his government was ready to hold local government elections on April 30 as delimitations had been done and no one had objected. The only delay was the ECP go-ahead. Core Committee members were told the KPK government had also asked the ECP and NADRA to allow it to hold LG elections in KP through biometric system and Electronic Voting Machines but these organisations had shown absolutely no interest. The Core Committee expressed dismay at this lack of response on the part of NADRA and ECP.
The PTI committee demanded of the ECP to expedite the LG elections preparations in the KPK. The committee also reiterated that no legislator, provincial or central, will accept any official US invitation until the US apologises for its humiliation of Pakistani leaders viz their travel. Finally, the Core Committee commended its workers for standing firm on the anti drone issue which has resulted not only in Obama’s stoppage of drones but also pushed the Pak government to move a resolution in the UN Geneva against drones.
