Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s prime minister, Ali Amin Gandapur, categorically declared that his government would not allow or support the military operation in the province. However, he emphasized, any type of misunderstanding or conflict must be resolved through negotiations.
Speaking in a Rally of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) in Peshawar on Saturday, Gandapur said the provincial administration firmly faced the forced evictions on behalf of the anti-terrorist units. “We will not allow any operation, nor will we support it,” he said.
The prime minister reminded the federal authorities about the heavy toll that the past campaigns had taken in the region. “In the war against terror, thousands of our people have been martyred. We do not want war, we want peace. Nor Imran Khan or the KP government will allow any type of operation,” he said specifically.
He said that the Federal Government and its agencies should realize that military operations only inflict damage to people and do not produce positive results. He insisted that the conflict, if any, should be resolved through negotiations. He also said that this was also the position of the founder of PTI Imran Khan.
KP’s prime minister urged Islamabad to participate in the dialogue with Afghanistan to address cross -border terrorism, emphasizing that only negotiations could bring lasting peace. “We don’t want war, and we will raise our voices against it,” he added.
Gandapur also asked the Judiciary to defend the Constitution and deliver justice, particularly in cases related to former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife. He reiterated PTI’s commitment to what he described as the struggle for “true freedom”, promising that the movement would continue until its objectives were achieved.
Gandapur strength protests outside the stage
However, the rally descended to chaos after the party workers refused to listen to Gandapur’s speech and organized a protest inside the place.
A section of participants began to sing slogans during the speech of the main minister, interrupting the procedures. The protesters not only shouted against Gandapur, but also threw bottles towards the stage, which forced him to shorten his speech.

After his microphone departure, PTI Ali Muhammad Khan leader tried to address the meeting. However, the Protestant workers also lit their slogans towards him, wielding shoes in the air and singing challenging.
The situation deteriorated even more when male workers broke into the women’s enclosure, and the police could not avoid rape. The disorder led many female participants to leave the place.

Later, addressing the demonstration, the president of the PTI, the lawyer Gohar, accused the government of electoral fraud and denounced it as a “puppet regime.”
Gohaha said that the manifestation of the party in Peshawar was its eighth since February 8, but said that these meetings did not intend to be a sample of force. “This does not mean that we are organizing an energy program,” he said, adding that Imran Khan’s popularity was unique. “Not only in Pakistan, but the entire world recognizes that Khan Sahib enjoys 90 percent popularity: 200 million Pakistanis rise and sit on their signal.”
Reflecting on recent setbacks, Gohar said that the mandate of the party had been “stolen” after the surveys, aggravating the “February wounds.” “Even then, we hoped that an independent judiciary will safeguard our mandate,” he said. However, he regretted that after the approval of the amendment 26, “even that hope has been attenuated.”

He accused the authorities of committing injustices against workers and supporters of PTI. “Stop injustices, stop operations, stop these convictions and disqualifications,” he urged, emphasizing that the voices of “70 to 90 percent of Pakistan” could not be silenced.
Gohaha also reiterated Khan’s resolution to continue resisting political pressure and legal obstacles. “We will fight for the country and for the law,” he summoned Khan as he said. “I will not compromise, I will not get to any treatment. As long as I am alive, I will live in this country … and I will not let my nation be tilted.”
Concluding his direction, the president of PTI promised that Khan’s liberation struggle would continue in each forum. “Everything possible will be done: in the streets, on the courts and in the assemblies,” he said and expressed his confidence that “with his efforts, the liberation of Khan Sahib will be possible, and Bibi Bibi will also do.”
The rally, organized in Peshawar, attracted PTI supporters throughout the country, according to the social media accounts of the party. The event was broadcast online after television channels refrained from transmitting it live.
PTI leader Faisal Javed announced that Khan’s video messages would be shown during the demonstration. A clip of the PTI chief was screened that was heading to a previous meeting, while other party leaders used the occasion to reaffirm their loyalty and opposition to military operations.
Previously, the police director of the capital of Peshawar, Mian Saeed Ahmad, had issued detailed security and traffic plans to guarantee behavior without problems of the demonstration.
