PESHAWAR, Feb 23 (APP):Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Faisal Karim Kundi on Sunday strongly criticized the provincial government for renaming the Arbab Niaz Cricket Stadium.
In his statement, Governor Kundi called the name change of the stadium “extremely inappropriate.
He accused the Chief Minister of being on a mission to “erase the province’s identity.” He stated that naming the stadium after the mastermind of the May 9 incident strengthens anti-state elements.
Governor Kundi assured that the people of Peshawar stand united against the renaming of the stadium.
He also criticized the previous ruling party, saying that despite being in power for nine years, it failed to renovate and restore the Arbab Niaz Stadium.
“On one side, we have an incompetent government, while on the other, the federal government and PCB have transformed stadiums in Lahore and Karachi within weeks,” he remarked.
