The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and its provincial government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa yesterday organized a “vague” event in the name of a protest or rally in Rawalpindi on the instructions of the founding chairman, with Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur and his government in charge of making it a success. He left Peshawar to attend the function but unexpectedly returned to Peshawar from Burhan instead of Rawalpindi. Barrister Saif reported Spokesperson KP Sarkar as saying that the Chief Minister has effectively exhibited his full “might” on this occasion, adding that the Punjab government planned to conduct something similar to the catastrophe Model Town on this occasion, which we prevented.
However, Atta Tarar, the Federal Minister for Information, stated that Ali Amin has adopted a shooting mindset following the Gandapur abusive language and that PTI is attempting to stage another event on May 9. In addition to Atta Tarar and the minister of Punjab information, Sindh provincial minister Saeed Ghani also made accusations that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government was doing more than just using the state’s resources and apparatus to aid its founder. The province is riven by corruption and a protracted war. Instead, the state and the federal governments have been placed against the provincial government, which cannot be tolerated at all.
Speaking on Sunday in Peshawar, Maulana Fazlur Rehman stated that the PTI is free to organize protests and processions wherever, but that the southern regions and tribal areas are where the turmoil is most intense. That ought to be noted. It is peculiar that the Maulana is addressing the public rather than the PTI with this statement. He should make this knowledge known to the PTI leadership, who has been meeting with him every day, as they are the ones responsible for bringing about peace in the province. Everyone needs to get together immediately and take note of the declining security in the province since words and comments alone will not help the situation.
In light of this, Governor Faisal Karim Kundi of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa wrote a letter to all interested parties and stakeholders yesterday suggesting that a cooperative approach be used to address these problems. Almost no seriousness in handling this complicated situation without conflict, strain, and accusations. It appears that a political point-scoring attitude has been adopted, which is inappropriate, and the administrative affairs of the province are becoming worse every day as a result of these aggressive, two-sided attitudes.
