Summary My tone might have been a bit tough, but I didn't say anything wrong in my speeches, says KP CM
PESHAWAR: (Dunya News) - Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak has on Friday said that his words were right and there was nothing ethnic about them. He said that his tone might have been a bit tough but he didn t feel anything wrong with his words, reported Dunya News.
Talking on Dunya Kamran Khan Kay Saath, Pervaiz Khattak said that his stance was correct and his actions were all legal. He said that he did not utter a word against Punjab in his speeches, but spoke only against the government of Punjab.
"There s no provision in the constitution that would allow them to block the way of our convoys. Under which law did they cut KP from Punjab and the capital? I just unlocked what they had already locked. The government s action of locking down the capital and the entire Punjab was illegal while we were the ones who unlocked it and thus did what was legal", he said.
When Kamran Khan asked him that his party chairman Imran Khan had already made it clear that he was going to lockdown Islamabad, block the roads to all major offices, lockdown schools and force Prime Minister to resign, Pervaiz Khattak said that it wasn t his intention to lockdown Islamabad. He added that he was going to Islamabad three days prior to the expected day of the lockdown and thus should not have been stopped.
"I wasn t going for the lockdown. I was going to Islamabad where my leader was detained in Bani Gala. I was going along with my supporters to rescue him as we feared for his safety", he said. He added, "When Imran Khan told me he was going to lockdown Islamabad, I had advised him not to do it since I already knew that the government was dictatorial enough to lockdown Islamabad itself to prevent us from protesting".
