Pakistan: Traders ask for a meeting with Imran Khan over 'alarming' state of law and order in KP
Peshawar: Traders affiliated with the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf have requested party chairman Imran Khan for a meeting due to the 'alarming' state of law and order in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region of the country.
“I would like to bring to your kind attention that extortion and kidnapping have started again in KP, especially in Peshawar,” the Insaf Traders’ Wing (ITW) said in a letter dated Dec 12 as quoted by Dawn News.
The letter, seen by Dawn, read that the law and order situation had reached “an alarming position” and noted that the houses of former provincial minister Haji Muhammad Javed and Awami National Party Senator Hidayat Ullah were targeted recently.
The business community informed the former prime minister that a message had been conveyed to the highest level in the provincial government, but no action had been taken so far.
The letter, signed by ITW leader Atif Haleem, said residents in the provincial capital were concerned about the rising trend of extortion and kidnapping
