At least 140 amendments in the law have been presented in the Assembly, says Khattak

DERA ISMAIL KHAN (Dunya News) – Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) Chief Minister (CM) Pervez Khattak on Thursday has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) wants to demonstrate a peaceful protest against rigging in the General Elections 2013 and that the federal government must not drive this to clashes between the two by putting containers and hurdles in PTI’s way.

He expressed these views while talking to the media in Dera Ismail Khan after passing his condolences to KPK Minister for Revenue and Estate Ali Amin Gandapur on demise of his mother.

He said that PTI chairman Imran Khan is demonstrating protests against a corrupt system and rigging in elections for at least three months and now on November 30, a peaceful protest would be demonstrated by PTI in Islamabad.

He urged the government and the Interior Minister not to steer PTI’s peaceful protest to a clash with the government by putting hurdles in its way.

While answering a question about the performance of the KPK government, he said that he wants to bring positive change in KPK and that at least 140 amendments in the law have been presented in the Assembly by now.

CM Khattak also said that they have changed the “Thana culture” of the province.

He further said that other institutions have also been freed from different political influences.
