Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur gave a deadline of one week to quash first information reports (FIRs) against PTI workers.
“Be ready for punishment if the FIRs aren’t removed,” he said in a speech minutes after being elected CM.
It was unclear during the speech who he directed the deadline to. Later in a post on X, the PTI said: “A message to the police to remove all FIRs for which evidence cannot be produced.”
Soon after being elected Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister, PTI’s Ali Amin Gandapur lamented the “injustice and cruelty” imposed on party leadership, including Imran Khan and party workers.
“We need to change this precedent; today it happens with us, tomorrow it will happen with someone else. The nation will hold us accountable, and we will need to give answers,” he said in his speech.
He praised Imran Khan for “giving Pakistan a better standing in the world” and said the incarcerated leader was correct in saying that Pakistan was not free but shackled in slavery.
