Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi dismissed reports that the federal government is preparing to impose governor’s rule in the province, saying he has not been consulted on the matter.
“I am hearing through the media that governor’s rule is being imposed. To this day, I maintain that there is no question of governor’s rule so far,” Faisal Karim Kundi said while addressing reporters in Peshawar on Sunday.
The governor confirmed that although the constitution contains a clause to impose governor’s rule, no official communication has been made with him so far. “The constitution contains a provision for governor’s rule, but no one has spoken to me,” he said.
Kundi added that the current situation in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) did not allow for widespread protests due to the fragile security and administrative challenges.
“I think the conditions of our province do not allow protests. The province is already burdened with issues including law and order,” he said.
