Achievements
Abdul Khaliq and his party Hazara Democratic Party began working on social problems such as infrastructure, education and healthcare which were his promises during the election campaign. Many have praised Hazara Democratic Party for their works which include road infrastructure, Healthcare centre, a College under construction, and easy access to Local council for legal advice. However, Hazara Democratic Party and Abdul Khaliq Hazara have come under scrutiny due to their silence on the government's Deportation of undocumented Afghans from Pakistan policy. Abdul Khaliq Hazara claimed that Hazaras are brothers and their Nationality does not matter.
