LAHORE - The new Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief minister in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pervaiz Khattak, has a bond with the historic city of Lahore. Like the former KP CM, Amir Haider Hoti, his was educated at Aitchison College in Lahore and circles close to him disclosed that Khattak travels a lot to Lahore and also has a house in the city.
PTI circles claim Khattak will be at the disposal of PTI chief Imran Khan and his economic team for the next five years in their attempt to improve the war-ravaged province.
As such they deem Khattak as the right choice by Khan and his friends find him a simple person but equally sharp to handle the responsibility of his new office.
Political circles close to him say being an un-demanding personality he is likely to shun the splendour that comes with the office, running his office like a true servant of his people and party. If he does that successfully, he will be in direct competition with the Punjab’s chief executive Shahbaz Sharif.
The leadership from both sides, PTI and PML-N, has indicated that they would try to out-do each other in running their respective province.
If Khattak keeps his doors open for public and party workers and holds open courts regularly and drives his car himself, or with just a driver, he will create a huge impact which will surely push the Sharifs to up the ante in Punjab. Perhaps, Sharif too, would shun the protocol galore.
The ensuing competition between the PTI and PML-N leaders will definitely be beneficial for ordinary people, if pursued with a healthy approach.
