Sehat Cards have been terminated in Ex-FATA. The People are heavily criticizing this act by KP Minister but he denied all the allegations, saying this act is done by the Federal government.
Sehat cards have been terminated in the tribal districts to the dismay of the local residents who demand that tribal districts are now part of K-P and that the provincial government be responsible for its funding rather than the federal government. The federal government cannot transfer liabilities to K-P without funding according to KP Minister.
Taimur Jhaghra ( KPK Chief Minister) said that the decision to stop the Sehat Card for 1.2 million families of the tribal districts is a unilateral and illegal act by the federal government. He added that the responsibility for this criminal act rests with all the parties in the federal government, Including PML-N, JUI-F, PPP, ANP, and others including the ‘so-called tribal’ representatives such as Mohsin Dawar.
“The federal government is hiding behind a summary approved by the PM Imran Khan, saying that Imran Khan decided to transfer the Sehat Card without funding. This is a lie” he added. He maintained that Shehbaz Sharif announced medical colleges and universities but in reality, he is taking away their basic right to health services.
He is truly proving himself to be a ‘crime minister’ for K-P, he added.
“The question of how K-P will finance this comes later. At this point, the entire federal government and allies need to apologize for their actions to the people of Fata and reverse their decision” he said. Furthermore, he said, “In particular in a year where the current budget transfers by the federal government for Fata is Rs60 billion, down from Rs77 billion. This is Rs25 billion less than actual costs for next year,”
