KPK Governor warns CM against dissolving govt
PESHAWAR, June 24: Governor of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province Faisal Karim Kundi on Tuesday strongly criticised Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur for threatening to dissolve the government, terming it as treason.
Gandapur on Monday alleged that the federal government is conspiring to impose an emergency in the province and said that he would dissolve the government immediately if former prime minister Imran Khan orders.
Khan is the chief of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the party to which Gandapur belongs.
Responding to Gandapur’s comments, Kundi alleged that the provincial government is being run on the directives of a convicted prisoner, referring to Khan.
Kundi warned that any threat to dissolve the assembly would be tantamount to “rebellion against the Constitution.”
Kundi asserted that the assembly is not the personal property of any single individual and that a province’s affairs cannot be managed from a jail cell.
He claimed that the provincial assembly has become a significant source of corruption.
He urged the provincial government not to blackmail the public, stating that if the province is run undemocratically, “every possible step” would be taken. (PTI)
