Rawalpindi:
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Prime Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has affirmed that the establishment wants to create a division in the PTI avoiding meetings between the party’s leaders and the imprisoned founder of PTI Imran Khan.
“Unfortunately, some of our people also fall in love with that agenda,” Gandapur said on Monday while talking to the media out of Rawalpindi’s media, where Imran Khan has been arrested during the last two years.
The KP Prime Minister arrived at the prison installation along with his provincial cabinet to meet Imran, but the police arrested them in Gorakhpur Nakkal and then had to return without a meeting.
Speaking to the media, the CM said they would not hold a cabinet meeting in that place. “The meetings are not held,” he said, adding that the Punjab government led by PML-N can only block the route.
He said the authorities refuse to allow their meeting with Imran after keeping them waiting for four or five hours. “I was working in flood affected areas and this waste of time entails a cost,” he said.
Gandapur said they also denied a meeting with the founder of PTI when they wanted to discuss with him the mining bill and the draft budget. “If I could have met Imran Khan, there would have been transparency and the doubts of the people would have clarified,” he said.
The prime minister added that the meetings were also blocked on the Senate elections and are now obstructing the meetings related to the problem of Bajaur.
“They want meetings to stop so that confusion continues to increase,” he said.
When asked what could do in response to a meeting being denied, he replied: “Should the jail open? Could do that, but what would you achieve?”
He criticized the PML-N, saying that he should be ashamed of commenting on the funerals of martyred soldiers while fighting terrorists. “The PML-N politician everything. There is no real democracy in the country, issues are manufactured. It is not about attending funerals; people should be aware. Instead of focusing on our people’s sacrifices, they must fix their policies,” he said.
