Blessed are the people who have God fearing and honest political leaders at the helms of affairs.The people of southern district of Lakki in KPK are lucky to have in their midst, three brothers Anwar Saifullah Khan, Salim Saifullah Khan and Humayun Saifullah Khan popularly known as Saifullah family as political leaders.
All of them are always receptive to the needs of the people of their district in every walk of life. The prominent features of their character are that they are easily accessible to the common man of their political constituency. They are unassuming and know the issues faced by their people like the palm of their hand. Not once but umpteen times they were elected by the electorate of their area to various forums like National and provincial assemblies as well as Senate and also given ministerial portfolios and they didn’t disappoint the common man. Small wonder that every political party of the country worth its salt today wants them to contest polls at their tickets as at the hustings no person in Lakki can get the better of them. These three brothers are God fearing and poor friendly persons. Such persons are a rare commodity in this country today and persons of their ilk are born once in a blue moon. Their illustrious mother late Begum Kulsoom Saifullah had played a great role in grooming them into really decent persons.
Many political observers believe that had Anwar Saifullah Khan been given gubernatorial post in KPK things would have been far better in the tribal belt as well as revenue districts touching it because of his excellent public relationing in tribal belt and his grasp over administrative matters because of his past experience as civil servant.
