PESHAWAR (Dunya News) - Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur suddenly arrived at the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly on Sunday after mysteriously disappearing for almost 30 hours.
In his fiery speech on the floor of the house, CM Gandapur revealed that he spent the entire night at the KP House in Islamabad.
“I am proud of this house and grateful to the people of Pakistan for standing firmly with Imran Khan,” said the chief minister.
He added that the PTI founder was fighting for our future generations. He said the PTI wasn’t allowed to hold a peaceful protest.
According to Gandapur, the government is afraid of the PTI and therefore it didn’t grant permission to hold protest.
“I spent the entire night at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House and police raided it multiple times,” he said.
He added that an FIR would be lodged against the Islamabad IGP and he would have to tender an apology in the assembly.
The chief minister said the people of KP gave him the mandate to rule and more than 40 million people voted for Imran Khan in the Feb 8 elections.
CM Gandapur also dared the federal government to impose Governor’s Rule in the province.
“We’ll definitely take revenge of our insult and disrespect,” said Gandapur.
Earlier, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly held an emergency session and passed a resolution against the 'disappearance' of Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.
The resolution accused the federal interior minister and the governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of misleading people.
The emergency session, chaired by Speaker Babar Saleem Swati, began after a five-hour delay, with workers chanting slogans as soon as it started.
Speaker Swati said the Assembly represented the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and called for a discussion on recent events, with both government and opposition members present.
He explained that the workers were invited to listen to their representatives and asked them to focus on the speeches and refrain from chanting slogans. He also mentioned that damage had been done to the chief minister's and ministers' rooms at KP House in Islamabad.
Despite warnings from the Speaker, workers continued to chant slogans during the session. The Speaker cautioned that if the disruption continued, they would be removed from the gallery, stressing the importance of maintaining order in the serious session.
