During the meeting, the people appraised the Former Minister and Provincial President, Manjit Singh that they are suffering from the underdevelopment and they want a change in the leadership of their area. “We are being represented by the people who create differences on the basis of casteism, rich and poor. Majority of the people in Khour are farmers, ex-servicemen and some are doing government services. However, their main dependence is upon the agricultural land,” the people informed Manjit Singh during the meeting. They said that “the local leadership does not listen to them and their works are hardly taken up.” After listening to their issues patiently, the Former Minister and Apni Party, provincial President, Manjit Singh said that the previous Govts have failed to come up to their promises and therefore, they mislead the people.
