They argued that employees have played a key role in bringing the PTI government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa three times. They added that PTI chairman Imran Khan took the vote on the slogan of merit, rule of law, ending political interference from institutions in the country but the PTI lawmakers are using political influence in postings and transfers in the departments of Mardan district which is intolerable.
