PM Imran said that he never ever prioritized any personality over his difficult decisions.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly members Atif Khan and Shahram Khan Tarakai, who were axed from the provincial cabinet, called on Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday.
According to Dunya News, both Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders had their first meeting with PM Imran following their dismissal as ministers. Both leaders discussed about their differences and political issues with Chief Minister Mahmood Khan.
Sources said that Khan and Tarakai apprised the premier about their reservations against the provincial CM, and also said that they have no objection on PM’s decision. PM Imran also assured both axed ministers of his confidence in them.
Meanwhile, PM Imran also expressed his reservation on the media’s promotion about the party’s internal affaris, saying that he had never compromised on party management. He went on to say that it was a difficult decision for him and he never prioritized any personality and took hard decisions.
He expressed: “Hopefully, you will work harder in the future”.
Atif Khan said that they have always worked hard for the betterment of the party, and also again won the majority in KP on the basis of their performance. He clarified that he does not want to be the CM, and his real purpose is to work in a better environment. “I am an old PTI worker and will continue to do work for the party”, he added.
Sharam Tarakai asserted that they raised voice multiple times against the governance situation in the province, and that’s why they were conspired against. He added that many assembly members have contacted them about CM’s performance.
