Peshawar (HRNW) Opposition lawmakers continued their protest Friday against non-implementation of the 25th Amendment, which deals with merger of ex-Fata districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This is the second day of the protest.
ANP MPA Nisar Mohmand told Samaa TV that the amendment promised 3% share for the districts in the National Finance Commission. The provincial government has made no headway, and six to seven districts are not even included in the commission yet.
“We have merged only on paper,” he said.
Mohmand said the protest will continue until the government has a detailed meeting with them and allocates 3% of NFC award for the districts.
