ANP leader accuses DC Noswhera of running Pervez Khattak’s election campaign

NOWSHERA: Awami National Party (ANP) General Secretary Mian Iftikhar Hussain has accused Nowshera Deputy Commissioner Khalid Iqbal of exerting pressure on government employees, compelling them to change their political affiliations at the behest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Parliamentarians chief Pervez Khattak.

During a press conference held at the Nowshera Press Club, Hussain voiced his concerns, asserting that elections have become a source of controversy. He alleged that Khattak is employing the Deputy Commissioner as his personal servant.

He further claimed that an NGO named Sunrise is actively engaged in influencing political loyalties, offering contract jobs in various Basic Health Units (BHUs) in Nowshera under the directives of Pervez Khattak.
