PESHAWAR: A division bench of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Wednesday okayed development schemes in all 14 provincial constituencies of the Peshawar district.
The bench comprising Justice Laal Jan and Justice Naeem Anwar dismissed the multiple writ petitions filed by MPAs Khushdil Khan and Salahuddin from ANP. It lifted the status quo issued on all development schemes, which had practically halted all development works in the provincial capital since March 2020.
The advocate general appeared for the KP government while Khushdil Khan, being a senior advocate of the Supreme Court, himself appeared to plead the case. Khushdil Khan argued that the government could not discriminate amongst various constituencies, adding it and must release equal development funds to each provincial assembly constituency.

SOUTH WAZIRISTAN: Prime Minister Imran Khan has called for an open trial in the foreign funding case and challenged the leadership of all opposition parties who have been criticising the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) for ‘illegal funds collection’ to face the proceedings too.
“Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Pakistan Peoples Party and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leaders must also sit” and the proceedings be aired live, said PM Khan while speaking to journalists in South Waziristan on Wednesday.
He said sources of all the parties’ funds should be made public. “I can put it to a challenge that PTI is the only political party that has been involved in political fundraising,” he said, adding that it was the turn of opposition parties to disclose the sources of their funds.
