LAHORE:
Provincial Senior Minister Abdul Aleem Khan has said that it is not acceptable to promote provincialism under the guise of politics.
In a statement, he said the leadership of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) should take notice of Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party leader Mahmood Achakzai’s statement allegedly based on enmity with Lahore and Punjab. Expressing grief and anger over Achakzai’s speech at the PDM public meeting held at Minar-e-Pakistan, the minister said nothing could be gained from levelling baseless accusations, as people of Pakistan would not tolerate it. Such allegations against “Zinda Dilan-e-Lahore” could not be part of any progressive political thinking, he added.
