PTI wants to push the country towards default, but using a ‘trump card’ will not grant PTI or its founder any NRO: Amir Muqam

LOWER DIR, Nov 10 (SABAH): President Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs and SAFRON, Engineer Amir Muqam, addressed huge public gathering at the joining ceremony of former Awami National Party Central Secretary of Information, senior politician Senator Zahid Khan, along with his family and thousands of associates, into the PML-N after resigning from the Awami National Party.

Engineer Amir Muqam was given a warm welcome at Chakdara by a large number of party workers. Accompanied by a convoy of hundreds of vehicles, Amir Muqam proceeded from Chakdara to the public gathering in Odigram, Lower Dir. While addressing the large public gathering, Engineer Amir Muqam said that PTI wants to push the country towards default, but using a ‘trump card’ will not grant PTI or its founder any NRO. He emphasized that under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s leadership and the efforts of his team, the country is moving towards economic stability, and they will thwart all conspiracies against Pakistan. Provincial President PML-N highlighted that the interest rate has dropped from 23% to 15%, and the stock exchange is reaching historic heights. Federal Minister also stated that due to the relentless efforts of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, inflation has decreased from 38% to 7%. He further criticized the provincial government of PTI inability to pay salaries to its teachers and government employees while claiming about acquiring PIA, adding that it is unacceptable to have compromised national dignity, such as raising the American flag at the Swabi gathering.

Engineer Amir Muqam noted that Malakand Division, a region affected by floods and militancy, granted additional tax exemptions from the federal government. He said that despite 12 years of governance, the roads in Malakand Division remain in disrepair, with no significant projects initiated. He also remarked that narrative by prisoner number 804 is creating instability. He assured that once restrictions are lifted, the supply of natural gas across the division will be rapidly expedited.

Expressing his gratitude, Amir Muqam welcomed Senator Zahid Khan, his family, and thousands of his associates to PML-N on behalf of himself and the party leadership, including Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. He thanked Zahid Khan and said that his joining would strengthen the party both provincially and nationally, due to his extensive experience.

In his address, Zahid Khan said that he had withdrawn from politics but was inspired by the dedication and hard work of Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz Sharif, and particularly Engineer Amir Muqam’s performance in the province. He expressed his commitment to serve the country through PML-N after spending 34 years with ANP. The event was attended by the entire PML-N leadership from Malakand Division, including Wajid Ali Khan, Malik Jehanzaib, Qaemus Khan, Muhammad Ali Shah, Sajad Khan, and other leaders.
