Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Amin Gandapur appeared in the provincial assembly in a very dramatic style on Sunday evening after mysteriously “missing” from Islamabad the previous day, where he gave a very smoky speech against the facts and tried to give the impression that he had been kidnapped or arrested by someone and had arrived in Peshawar after a big “fight.”
All relevant parties are aware that the Chief Minister abandoned his staff at the junction and went to Pakhtunkhwa House in Islamabad. After spending a few hours through a back door, he returned to Peshawar in a very mysterious way, but in the meantime, he did not feel the need to inform his leadership about this unexpected “transfer,” as a result of which his leadership and the government began a campaign of various kinds of accusations against the state institutions, calling them “missing” for usual political point scoring, and in this rush, an emergency session of the provincial assembly was called on Sunday, during which hundreds of agitating workers were allowed to enter without any permit or checking, flouting the parliamentary traditions of the province.
The assembly passed a peculiar resolution directing the province’s chief secretary and inspector general to brief the house on the chief minister’s disappearance. The meeting was so chaotic that the Chief Minister astonished everyone by making an “entry” in the most filmy style. The Chief Minister’s statement and the “details” he presented to the assembly are not only absurd but also unbelievable. But it is also entertaining.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi, speaking to a few news channels soon after, categorically called the entire process a case of “self-immolation” and said that the Chief Minister would be held accountable for what he had done during that time.
In light of all of this, an investigation should be conducted into how the province’s ruling party and government leveled complaints against the federal government and state institutions. Because it was a farce of a modern state that spared no effort to harm Pakistan’s image.
