Punjab Senior Minister and Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) spokesperson Maryam Aurangzebb alleged that Ali Amin Gandapur’s loyalty to Imran Khan was overshadowed by Bushra Bibi’s complaints, leading to his removal as Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) st. Provincial President.
In a press statement, Maryam criticized PTI Chairman Imran Khan, alleging that he prioritizes personal gain over loyalty, Express News reported.
“Imran Khan has a history of using friends, colleagues and workers for his purposes and discarding them like tissue paper,” he said.
He accused Imran Khan of exploiting Gandapur during key anti-government campaigns, only to eliminate him when his loyalty was no longer beneficial.
“Ali Amin actively participated in the November 9 and November 26 campaigns, only to be rewarded with his removal from the party leadership,” Maryam added.
Maryam listed even more examples of people she claimed were victims of Khan’s “opportunistic politics”, including Jahangir Tareen, Aleem Khan and Akbar Babar.
“Imran Khan’s betrayal knows no limits. He has no loyalty to anyone, not even those who made immense sacrifices for him. Today, no old friend, leader or supporter stands by his side,” he stated.
The PML-N leader urged the public to understand the nature of Imran Khan and refrain from being part of what she described as “future conspiracies against the state”.
Earlier, PTI announced a key leadership change in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, with Prime Minister Ali Amin Gandapur resigning as Provincial Party President.
Junaid Akbar, a member of the National Assembly, has been appointed as his replacement.
The decision was confirmed by PTI leader Salman Akram Raja during a media conference in Rawalpindi.
Raja stated that Gandapur’s departure from the role was voluntary, allowing him to focus on his responsibilities as prime minister amid pressing challenges, including law and order issues in the province.
“This decision is in line with Gandapur’s request as he wanted to fully dedicate himself to the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” Raja said.
The leadership change was reportedly discussed during a meeting between Junaid Akbar and PTI chairman Imran Khan in prison.
Several senior figures of the party, including Atif Khan, Malik Ahmad Khan Bachhar and Mian Farhat Abbas, were also present during the meeting.
