Rawalpindi:
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has claimed that the company wants to create a split in PTI by preventing meetings between party leaders and the prison PTI founder Imran Khan.
“Unfortunately, some of our people are also falling for that agenda,” Gandapur said Monday, talking to the media outside Rawalpindis Adiala prison, where Imran Khan has been withheld for the past two years.
The KP chief minister came to the prison facility with his provincial cabinet to meet Imran, but police stopped them at Gorakhpur Nakkal, and he later had to return without a meeting.
In a speech with the media, CM said they would not hold a cabinet meeting at that place. “No meetings are held like this,” he said, adding that the PML-N LED Punjab government can only block the route.
He said authorities refuse to allow their meeting with Imran after keeping them waiting for four or five hours. “I worked in flooded areas, and this waste of time carries a cost,” he said.
Gandapur said they were also denied a meeting with the PTI founder as they would discuss with him the mining bill and budget bill. “Had I been able to meet Imran Khan, there would have been transparency and people’s doubts would have been cleared,” he said.
The minister added that meetings were also blocked over the election in the Senate, and now they prevent meetings related to the Bajaur question.
“They want meetings to be stopped so that confusion continues to rise,” he said.
When asked what he had to do in response to being denied a meeting, he replied, “Should I break the prison? I could do it, but what would it achieve?”
He criticized PML-N and said it should be ashamed of making comments on funerals from the soldiers martyrated while fighting terrorists. “PML-N politicizes everything. There is no real democracy in the country-samlies is made. It’s not about attending funerals; people need to have a conscience. Instead of focusing on our people’s victims, they should solve their policies,” he said.
