Shehbaz urges PML-N to prioritise quick KP welfare steps
Addressing a PML-N KP meeting on Saturday, he defended the October 11 governor's rule, criticised PTI's 13-year record, and said talks with the opposition had failed.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told a PML-N KP meeting on Saturday to suspend long-term projects and focus on short-term relief.
He said people of the province had suffered for 13 years under PTI rule and questioned schools, medicines, funds and anti-corruption work.
Governor's rule and emergency measures, imposed on October 11, remain in place under Governor Faisal Karim Kundi and an 11-member advisory council.
He said federal talks with PTI lasted 48 hours but a draft never got approval, so the Centre acted to protect people and the economy.
He cited terrorism losses, about 8,000 police vacancies, an NFC-linked Rs800 billion share for KP, and a Rs75 billion fuel subsidy for about 130 million citizens.
