Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s prime minister Ali Amin Gandapur asked the state institutions to participate in the dialogue with the PTI, but demanded that they be responsible.
Gandapur and the main leadership of the PTI are in a visit to Lahore to formally launch a movement to seek the launch of the founder of the Imran Khan party and devise a strategy for its protest at the national level, which will reach its crescendo on August 5, marking two years since the ex-private was imprisoned.
Since the imprisonment of Imran in several cases, which according to him has political motivation, the relationship of his party with the Government and the establishment has become extremely agio. The PTI has made several protests during the last year, most of which became violence after facing the repression of the State.
Going to a press conference flanked by the leadership of Punjab from PTI, CM Gandapur said: “We have to correct our institutions ourselves. Come, sit down, have your mistakes and move forward.”
He recalled that Imran, although his wife was also imprisoned in a graft case, had repeatedly said he was ready to speak for the country.
“Come and speak, recognize and correct your mistakes,” Gandapur reiterated, noting that it was everyone’s collective responsibility to think about Pakistan’s future.
“State institutions have ignored their duties that are established in the Constitution and, instead, are doing another job, because terrorism has [risen] In the country, “he said, and added that the safety situation in KP and Baluchistan had worsened because” those responsible for protecting the borders were chasing the PTI. “
“State institutions, whose duty is not to participate in politics, are playing each role in the formation, career and overthrow of governments,” said the PTI leader.
“And when you ask, they answer with delight that ‘we are non -political’.”
Gandapur, emphasizing that he was the son and brother of a soldier, said: “My army is being defamed due to some wrong people and their decisions.”
A caravan of KP legislators led by CM Gandapur, as well as opposition leader at the Punjab Assembly, Malik Ahmad Khan Bhachaha, arrived at Lahore through GT Road last night. During a scale in Jhelum, the CM of KP said that the protest had been launched, and the parliamentary meeting in Lahore would reflect to the final protest strategy to intensify the campaign in search of Imran’s release.
Imran was imprisoned on August 5, 2023 in a case related to state gifts, he is complying with a sentence in the Adiala jail in the case of graft of £ 190 million and faces pending judgments related to the disturbances of May 9, 2023.
Following the protests of May 9 nationwide, which saw important military facilities was attacked, thousands of PTI workers and almost all first level leadership was rounded, and many still faced judicial procedures under serious positions.
