Islamabad:
The governor of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Faisal Karim Kundi, has said that the opposition would move a motion of distrust against Prime Minister Ali Amin Gandapur at the time he ensures a majority in the Provincial Assembly. “The day an additional member joins us, we can move a vote of non -trust,” he said.
He made the comments while talking to journalists after a delegation from the Popular Party of Pakistan (PPP) met with Jamiat Ulema-E-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), Maulana Fazlur Rehman, in his residence in Islamabad on Friday to deliberate in a joint strategy for the next Senate elections in KP.
During the meeting, the two parties discussed the possible cooperation to play Senate surveys. The meeting highlighted the need for coordination between opposition parties to counteract the ruler Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) in the province.
The main leader of the PPP, Khursheed Shah, said the elections were imminent and that both parties intended to honor the previously agreed arrangements. “Each part has its mandate, and we have had a long -standing relationship with Maulana Fazlur Rehman,” he said.
When heading to the media after the meeting, Kundi highlighted the electoral objectives of the PPP in the elections of the upper house, saying that the party pointed to five seats in the Senate in the province. “Our goal is that the group of Maulana Fazl ensures a general seat, while PPP will play a reserved seat,” he said.
When asked about the potential for political maneuvers in the next surveys, Kundi replied: “The PPP will do everything possible to avoid horses trade,” while expressing the hope that the former alliance of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) would dispute the elections together, saying: “We are trying to move forward together.”
Touching the broader political and security scene, the governor of KP criticized the PTI government in the province, challenging the party to “appoint a single stadium or public installation that they have built.”
When commenting on the deterioration of the situation of the law and order in KP, he said: “Extremists generally leave after ASR sentences in the province,” referring to the growing militant activity in recent months.
Kundi also went to Thursday’s tragic incident in Baluchistan, where nine passengers were killed after being identified and separated according to their identity cards. He said that the whole nation must unite to restore peace.
He called Indian participation in terrorist activities within Pakistan, stating that New Delhi had intensified subversive actions after his military setbacks. “Eighty percent of terrorism in Pakistan originates in the Afghan soil,” he said, warning that if Afghanistan continue to allow his territory to be used by hostile powers such as Israel and India, it would be difficult to maintain peaceful ties.
“Afghanistan must ensure that their land is not used by external forces against Pakistan,” he added.
