Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Convenes Amid PTI Protests
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly has called for an urgent session on Sunday due to ongoing protests by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. This decision follows the arrest of activists in Islamabad. Initially, the session was planned for October 7 but was rescheduled to address the current unrest.
Controversy Surrounding CM Ali Amin Gandapur
There have been conflicting reports regarding the status of KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. While some claimed he was arrested, others stated he was confined at the KP House in Islamabad. Barrister Saif, a government spokesperson, confirmed the siege of the KP House, calling it a sign of their ‘success’.
Gandapur’s brother alleged his arrest, but government sources denied this. Inspector General of Islamabad police, Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, was said to have arrested Gandapur on charges related to an attack on the state and misuse of official protocol. PTI leader Omar Ayub also claimed Gandapur’s arrest despite his protective bail from the Peshawar High Court.
Security and Legal Proceedings
Security sources refuted claims by PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar that PTI workers faced gunfire. Gandapur was in Islamabad to protest at D-Chowk. A warrant was issued by Judicial Magistrate Mubashir Hussain Zaidi for Gandapur’s arrest due to a case involving illegal arms and liquor. Gandapur had failed to appear in court despite multiple summons.
