According to press release issued here, all aspects were considered and decisions taken in this regard to thwart the provincial government’s delaying tactics with full political and democratic force.
The meeting convened at Mufti Mahmood Markaz Peshawar took a detailed look at the problems of the people due to the continuous delay and frivolous attitude of the provincial government in holding local government elections and important decisions will be taken while considering the future course of action in this regard.
