PESHAWAR: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chapter, has adopted a wait-and-see policy and is closely watching political developments in Islamabad before formulating any strategy for change in the province.
Though the opposition parties, including PML-N have tabled a no-confidence motion against Chief Minister Pervez Khattak, it is a pre-emptive move to save the provincial assembly from dissolution.
“The party has set eyes on the developments in Islamabad and will adopt any strategy in consultation with all the political forces. Since all the political parties in the country have joined hands to foil conspiracies against the state’s integrity, democracy and constitution; that’s why future planning depends on the political developments on federal level,” said PML-N provincial president Pir Sabir Shah.
He said the party would follow the central leadership’s directives and decision would be taken in consultation with other political forces in the province.It’s a good omen that for the first time in the history of Pakistan, all the political parties have a joint stand against attacks on the parliament and state institutions and have foiled the conspiracies to derail democracy and abrogate the Constitution, he added.
He said the same strategy would be evolved in KP to save democracy. The no-confidence motion was tabled by the joint opposition and further decision on it would be taken with proper consultation in the background of developments atnational level, he informed. “Our struggle is for democracy and the main objective is to protect democracy and strengthen the state and Constitution, for which all the political forces have a firm commitment,” he stated.
However, he expressed the confidence that things were going in right direction and a positive outcome was expected. “The unity among all political parties is a sign of maturity, which would yield positive results in the future,” he said, adding that at provincial level consultations with other political parties were going on and future strategy would depend on the developments at national level.
The PML-N leaders in the province are too cautious and so far avoided any confrontation with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Political temperature in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa did not remain high unlike Punjab despite the fact that the party has the slot of governorship in the province. The party even rejected the proposals of toppling the PTI-led government in the last one and a half years.
