Marwat urges KP CM to avoid confrontation, follow law and wisdom
Earlier on October 27, Sher Afzal Marwat, a Member National Assembly (MNA), has openly expressed his grave anxiety regarding the political scenario in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Marwat urged the PTI leadership to choose a way of wisdom and law instead of confronting the state.
Through social media, MNA Marwat commented that the political situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has very recently taken a regrettable turn, with almost no space left for reconciliation. He condemned the actions of some federal ministers who, he said, constantly mocked and accused KP Chief Minister-designate Sohail Afridi immediately after his nomination, thereby heating the political atmosphere.
Marwat reaffirmed that such confrontational politics are to no one’s, including that of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s, interest nor the advantage of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s future.
He reaffirmed that PTI must work in the legal and constitutional orbit and contended that harshness and confrontation always lead to loss and retreat, never to victory.
Marwat also mentioned that if PTI desires to remain active and continue contributing, it must protect and maintain the KP government, termed it as the confidence of the people and a major support of the political life of the party.
Marwat, in his final words, mentioned that now is the time for caution, wisdom, and even-tempered decision-making, and urged that a door that can be opened today by talks may not open tomorrow, even by force.
