MNA justifies supporting PPP

By Our Correspondent

CHITRAL: MNA Shahzada Mohiuddin has said that he supported the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) in the presidential election to ensure continuation of the development process initiated in the district.
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, he said that nothing was dearer to him than the development of his constituency and it was due to this reason that he returned to the lower house of the parliament for the fourth time.
Mr Mohyuddin was elected as an MNA from Chitral on the PML-Q ticket.
He said that due to its enormous size and mountainous topography, the district was far backward and provision of basic infrastructures was yet a dream and they needed uplift funds.
The MNA said that a number of development projects had been started during the government of the PML-Q which included Golen Gol hydel project, Booni-Shandur road, construction of truck-able bridge at Mastuj and extension of the Sarhad Rural Support Programme (SRSP) to the district.
He said the present government had decided to continue the ongoing development projects in Chitral for which he was grateful to President Zardari and Prime Minister Gilani.
“I have obtained Benazir Income Support Cards from the federal government, which will be equally distributed among the 24 union councils,” he said and added that the cards would be awarded to deserving women irrespective of their political affiliations and a transparent way would be adopted in this process.
