| Dozens of Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPPP), Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) members, who had left their respective parties last week to join the Pakistan Muslim League – Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q) last week, attended a ruling party function at Ashriat village. Shahzadad Muhayuddin, PML-Q NWFP chapter senior vice president, was the chief guest on the occasion. Addressing the ceremony, the PPPP, JUI and Jamaat-e-Islami members said that they had decided to join the PML-Q since their respective parties had failed to fulfill the public mandate. Muhayuddin said that the people of Chitral supported President General Pervez Musharraf due to his public friendly policies. He noted that the president had allocated billions of rupees for the socio-economic development of Chitral, including the construction of a high school, a veterinary centre, water pipelines, electricity supply lines and other projects. He said that the federal government had allocated Rs 140 million for the provision of electricity to the area, and Rs 12 billion for the Golain Goal powerhouse. |
