- “Would be difficult to run govt if they don’t mend their ways”: KP CM.
- “Stop threatening me”, he says while referring to Maryam, Zardari.
- Punjab, Centre want to force KP to engage in confrontation, he notes.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has warned the federal and Punjab governments to mend their ways or he will “send police” to their homes, The News reported on Thursday.
“Stop threatening me or else we would send police to your homes,” Gandapur said while referring to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and President Asif Ali Zardari.
The chief minister’s remarks come after Anti-Terrorism Court Judge Malik Ijaz Asif issued his non-bailable warrants over his alleged involvement in the May 9 riots on Tuesday.
Apart from CM Gandapur, non-bailable arrest warrants were also issued for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Murad Saeed, Shibli Faraz, Shahbaz Gill and retired Lieutenant Colonel Shabbir Awan.
The warrants were also issued for former PTI leaders Shireen Mazari, Musarrat Jamshed Cheema and Saad Jamil Abbasi.
Speaking in Dera Ismail Khan, Gandapur termed the first information reports (FIRs) against him as “fake”and said that both governments in the Centre and in Punjab would find it difficult to operate if they don’t ensure due course correction.
“We are exercising restraint,” he said while claiming that the federal and Punjab governments wanted to force the KP government to indulge in confrontation.
Stressing that the people of KP should not be mistaken as weak, he warned CM Maryam to cease engaging in provocative acts, adding: “It is not our culture to talk ill of women.”
Gandapur’s fiery remarks come despite a rather cordial meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif last week after which the chief minister had stressed the need to hold political dialogue with party incarcerated founder Imran Khan who has been behind bars since August last year in different cases ranging from corruption to terrorism..
Subsequently, Khan had directed the KP CM to continue talks for the rights of his province at the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) and other federal forums, besides cooperating with security agencies on security-related matters.
