They also chanted slogans against the PPP-led government and federal minister for communication. Addressing protesters, Ameen said that the existing rulers have failed to deliver. They are now trying to deceive masses by restoring 'so-called construction work' on the project. This is a political show-off of the incumbent rulers to close the Lowari Tunnel for passengers in the name of construction work on the project, he added.
Ameen further said when the work was halted on the project and its funds were transferred to other constituencies, the elected representatives and minister concerned were become silent spectators, and now when elections are around the corner, the government restored work on the project. These corrupt rulers could not befool the masses anymore, as they know the reality of the existing rulers, he said. He vowed that further exploitation of Chitralis would not be tolerated. He asked the government and authorities concerned to revise the scheduled traffic plan for Lowari Tunnel and stop multiplying miseries of Chitrali people.
