PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has finally appeared after being absent from the public scene for more than 24 hours, here on Sunday.
The proceedings of the meeting were going on as usual when suddenly Ali Amin came to the KP Assembly, while a large number of PTI MPAs gathered around him.
Addressing the session that was convened to demand his recovery, the chief minister claimed he spent the night at the KP House.
CM Gandapur confirmed that a large number of Islamabad Police personnel and Rangers had forcefully entered the KP House to arrest him.
Earlier today, in an emergency session of the KP Assembly, a majority vote passed a resolution regarding the disappearance of Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.
The resolution stated that the federal interior minister and the governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa continued to mislead and demanded a report from the speaker.
The emergency session of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly began under the chairmanship of Speaker Babar Saleem Swati after a delay of 5 hours, and workers chanted slogans as soon as the session began.
Speaker Babar Saleem Swati said that the Assembly represents the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and there should be a discussion on what has happened over the past two days, with both government and opposition representatives present.
CM KP Gandapur was leading a PTI protest convoy that he left behind near Hassan Abdal and decided to visit Islamabad for unknown reasons. After coming to the city, he went to the KP House which was raided by the police.
According to PTI, Ranger’s personnel had “forcefully entered” KP House to arrest CM Gandapur after he arrived in the capital to become a part of his party’s protest.
“This blatant abuse of power raises serious concerns about the state of lawlessness in Pakistan.
“After failing to stop the public from reaching Islamabad, they have now resorted to arresting a sitting chief minister of a province.
“Those in key institutions are determined to push the country towards anarchy, solely to retain their illegitimate power, without realizing the irreparable damage they are inflicting on Pakistan.”
PTI leader Omar Ayub Khan had claimed that the KP chief minister had been “arrested illegally from KP House Islamabad.”
“Rangers and Islamabad Police have breached the territory of KP and have executed an illegal arrest,” Omar said in a post on X.
He wrote that the KP chief minister had been granted bail by the Peshawar High Court.
“CM Ali Amin Khan is part of the ‘state’ as defined in the Constitution.
“Rangers, Police, and Armed Forces are tools of the ‘state’. Has martial law been imposed in Pakistan??? This action will be the death knell for this Form 47 government.”
