| Minister slams Musharraf over 'mullah' remarks | |
| 2006-12-08 | |
NWFP Education Minister Maulana Fazl-e-Ali on Thursday protested in the NWFP Assembly against the remarks made by President Pervez Musharraf during his interview with an Indian TV channel, saying,
So what's yer bitch, Reverend Fazl? The education minister told the house that a World Bank (WB) report had appreciated the NWFP government’s performance in health and education sectors. Ali said the religious alliance would return to the assemblies with a greater majority in the next elections. That will no doubt cause the very polite World Bank to appreciate it even more. “Our success in the next elections will be 100 percent,” he said. I guess that means the NWFP will get the kind of government it deserves. Opposition Leader in the assembly Shahzada Gustasap said that the house had unanimously passed resolutions on earthquake survivors, demanding that the government exempt them from various taxes and utility bills until they stood on their own feet. He asked the provincial government, “What has become of those resolutions, as the ministers never mentioned whether or not these resolutions have been implemented.” The opposition leader said there had been no development in the quake-hit areas. Minister Asif Iqbal Daudzai said that the provincial government would soon launch various road projects, and only those roads would be selected for construction or repair, which came under the criteria set by donors in meetings held between the provincial government and the Asian Development Bank (ADB). | |
