APP
RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan has criticised Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, suggesting that he should resign if he fails to maintain law and order in the province, according to sources.
“If Ali Amin Gandapur cannot restore peace, he should step down,” the PTI founder was quoted as saying by sources.
He further remarked that if Gandapur is unable to resolve governance issues, someone else should be given a chance.
Pakistan witnessed a surge in terror activities, particularly in its Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces, since the return of Taliban rulers in Afghanistan in 2021.
Meanwhile, sources added that the PTI founder’s jail privileges have been reinstated, including access to books and newspapers. Additionally, he was allowed a one-hour phone conversation with his children on the previous day.
He reportedly told prison officials that his children are welcome to visit him. However, he learned during the phone call that their National Identity Cards for Overseas Pakistanis had expired.
Imran, as per sources, said he had never asked his children to come to Pakistan for political protests.
Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan, had announced that PTI founder’s sons — Suleiman Khan and Kasim Khan would be taking part in August protest, which would be staged for the ex-premier’s release.
