The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Suhail Aftab, has criticized the federal government for its alleged favoritism towards other provinces. In a press conference held at the Karachi Press Club, Aftab stated that while the federal government has been providing a share of the NFC (National Finance Commission) funds to all provinces since 2018, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has not received its due share. He further argued that the province has been providing cheaper electricity to the entire country, benefiting Pakistan as a whole.
Aftab also expressed his frustration with the treatment meted out to his government by the federal authorities. He recalled an instance where his government was not treated well during a visit to Lahore, where his team was forced to return without being served food at a local market.
The KP Chief Minister also acknowledged the cooperation extended by the Sindh government, saying that he would respect and honor any visit made by the Sindh Chief Minister to his province. He pointed out that the Sindh government has been led by the Bhutto family for a long time.
Aftab also highlighted the achievements of his government, including the successful implementation of the Ehsaas Program, which provides free medical treatment up to Rs 20 lakh to the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
