PESHAWAR: The opposition in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly on Tuesday reiterated the demand for constituting a parliamentary jirga for achieving the constitutional rights of the province and rejected the state policy of distribution of resources.
Debating the issue of electricity and gas loadshedding in the province, the opposition members said people of the KP were not stealing power and gas but the Centre had usurped the province constitutional rights.
They pointed out that KP was producing electricity double than its consumption but its dwellers were facing the worst type of loadshedding. Karak, they added, was producing oil and gas, but refineries were established in Punjab. They said the provincial government had failed to pursue the case of the province in the centre.
