APML Chitral leader asks MNA to step down
BOONI: All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) local leader Faizur Rehman has asked party MNA Shahzada Iftikharuddin to step down from the assembly.
“If Iftikharuddin does not resign, the central leadership of the APML would approach the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to unseat him under the relevant law which does not allow floor-crossing,” Mr Rehman said in a statement.
He said Iftikhar had taken votes on the ticket of the APML and was using the good name of Pervez Musharraf, the chief of the APML, in the 2013 elections. But Nawaz Sharif himself told a public gathering in Chitral that after the 2013 elections when he became the prime minister Iftikhar approached him to say that he was actually a Muslim Leaguer and wanted to join the PML-N.
By offering the votes of the Chitrali people given to Iftikhar for the love of Musharraf in a platter to Nawaz Sharif the MNA not only cheated his voters but also tried to tarnish the loyalty of the Chitralis in the eyes of Musharraf, the benefactor of Chitral, he added.
The APML Chitral leader also came down hard on Nawaz Sharif for ridiculing the most civilized and educated people of Chitral. He said when Nawaz was making fun of the Chitralis watched by millions of the people around the world on their TV screens, MNA Iftikhar and district nazim Maghfirat Shah were clapping while sitting on the stage. He said that the MNA and the nazim were hands in glove in ridiculing the people of Chitral and should apologize to them.
Mr Rehman said the people of Chitral have never accepted Nawaz Sharif as their political leader and they would like the army chief of the time to inaugurate the Lowari tunnel next year. He said a handful of elements who have been trying to introduce Nawaz Sharif in Chitral should now realize that Nawaz has no future in Chitral and they should dissociate themselves from him.

Take the speach of Prime minister very positive, as after pervaiz Musharaf he is the only leader who visited the neglected , backward chitral almost three times, distributed about three billion rupees to the effecties of Earth quake,and now Roads, hospitals etc, where were Mr. Zardari? Mr. Gillani and other PPP leaders ? as the majority of chitralis are voting for PPP? what PPP has done for chitral after the great Bhotto? think about it and also take the speach of PM positivly.. PM loves chitral and chitralis, and Iftikhar sahab will join the PMLN very soon and will be the next MNA also from PMLN…
I am huge fan of Gen Musharraf. While going through the pages of this prestigious online paper I just came thru sth very interesting. So just wanted to share the link with the readers. And hope the MNA will take a similar stance like he did in reaction of the following story. To be more precise I want the MNA to deny that whatever the prime minister said was wrong and just like me he’s always been a huge fan of Gen Musharraf.

ApMl chitrlies ;Mushraf lovers(common people) should go to the court against Sitting MNA to disqualify him if you have courage?????????
I guess this visit of PM would definitely be turned out a bad luck for the political future of MNA and will be used a sign of political treason by his political opponents.
Chitral first, PML(N) and APML last. We should stop listening to these jealous people. Look at their calibre. A contractor who has done great damage to all the public infrastructure by not fulfilling his obligation leads a chorus and the so called intelligent people join in. Did Musharaf resign when the electorate voted Nawaz and zardari to power. He waited till the parliament threatened him with impeachment when he ran away. Today was the first we get our hospital
The least Mr.Iftikhar can do now is to resign from the seat. He betrayed Gen.Musharaf and his devoted voters. If he were so loyal to NS, he shouldn’t have used the name of Mr.Musharaf to get the votes.
GO IFTIKHAR GO
Why should he step down? After this rally Chitral is involved in a serious rush across the development. We have appointed him as the MNA of our disttrict and so far we have to trust him. Shazda sahib is an eductaed person, he knows well than most of our majority. And why should he resign from the APML seat? Infact members of APLM should thank him for that he has invited the PM to Chitral and held an organized rally with a croud which none of the others can gather and also for the new ptojecys signed as the mile stone in the history of Chitral, none of our leader had ever done before. Mr. Iftikhar sahib is well aware of the emerging youths’ need and the needs of the pro literate inhabitants of the backward region.
Chitrlies have no courage to snatching MNA seat from the Royal family. It is their right to role on chital. Doesn’t matter, Democratic way or monarchy or through dictatorship. I bet he is again MNA next time.

He is personally a good man but lack leadership skills. Even can’t speak in parliament. He don’t mind untill and unless people like you are there for their support.
It is stated here with regret that this is showing the game of local politician with the simplest people of Chitral,This action of MNA is very disgusting and is equal to cheat with himself, People have cost their precious vote for the untiring services of Pervaz Musharaf, But he is bargaining it with Nawaz sharif…….It is a message to chitrali people to get alert to the next time,,,,,,,
MNA Iftikharuddin’s politics is over. He is gone forever. I know he will approach Faizur Rehman not press for his resignation, and soon he will be quite. In next election, the MNA will formally join the bandwagon of Nawaz Sharif. But this is a writing on the wall that no one will vote especially after Nawaz Sharif declared Chitralis illiterate.
Chitral First we need Development not a political party. Our Beloved MNA is doing every thing for the bettermnt of chitrali people
NS said Iftikhar had expressed his desire to resign and join PML-N and go for the polls again. But NS did not allow him. what is need to resign when you are voting for me in parliament even without me asking you to do so?? Here the immaturity in politics of Iftikhar became clear and Nawaz sealed the future of the MNA in politics.
There is a logical sense in the statement that if MNA sahib has animosity with musharaf then he should resign.
he should step down becaus he now dont hav th right to b mna of apml . i think what nawaz sharif has insulted him in the gathering is enough to make him resignd. he has lost his moral value
