The speakers, congratulating the newly elected cabinet, expressed the hope that they will rise above personal and group interests and take forward public service and the democratic struggle in an organised manner under the leadership of party chairman national leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai.

They appealed to workers and the public to participate fully in the public gathering to be held at Quetta’s Ayub Stadium football ground on 2 December on the occasion of the 53rd martyrdom anniversary of the party’s founder Khan Shaheed Abdul Samad Khan Achakzai and pay tribute to him.

The speakers, expressing serious concern over the national and provincial situation, said that the Constitution and democracy are being trampled in the country, and the only way to salvation from all crises is the restoration of an agreed Constitution, the autonomy of parliament, binding all state institutions to constitutional limits and the establishment of a true democratic federation based on the equality of nations.

They said that the citizens of Southern Pashtunkhwa, especially Quetta, are suffering severe torment due to the non-supply of electricity and gas, the shortage of clean drinking water, dilapidated roads, chaotic traffic, poor sanitation and drainage, inflation, unemployment and inadequate health and education facilities, while the government has completely failed to resolve these problems.

Furthermore, terrorism, target killings, kidnapping and incidents of theft and robbery have spread fear and panic among citizens, therefore the state and law-enforcement agencies should ensure the protection of citizens’ lives and property.
