ISLAMABAD
\nAdmitting that there were hypocrites within the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has warned them against harming the party, \u201cI am warning them that you are harming the party, our first goal is to unite and protect the country and the Constitution,\u201d Gandapur said while speaking to the media outside Rawalpindi\u2019s Adial Jail. He added that some people in the party were working on an agenda.
\nRegretting that meetings were hindered due to internal divisions in the party, the CM said that \u201cfalse allegations and political propaganda are the cause of our loss\u201d.The firebrand PTI leader\u2019s remarks come days after he admitted tensions and groupings exist within the former ruling party \u2014 but firmly denied creating them himself. He alleged that instead of participating, his critics would only level accusations against him.
\nHe also criticised those who limit activism to social media, remarking that revolutions are not achieved through short videos or fake accounts. Meanwhile, speaking to the media a day earlier, the CM higlihgted his efforts for the incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan and said: \u201cNo one has made as much efforts as I have to bring the PTI founder out [of jail], big marches and rallies in the country\u2019s history have been held [but] can anyone fight the state\u201d.
\nExpanding on the issue of negotiations, he reiterated the PTI founder\u2019s stance where he has said that: \u201cIf you are ready for negotiations, then sit down and talk, the talk will be with the one who has the authority, our government was overthrown, were Afghan refugees responsible for this? We are trying in our province to send Afghan refugees back with honour and tradition.\u201d
\nGandapur\u2019s remarks come against the backdrop of persisting legal and political woes of the PTI whose senior leadership, including Shah Mahmood Qureshi has been behind bars owing to a plethora of cases, primarily conerning the May 9 riots which saw miltiary installations being vandalised by mobs following Khan\u2019s arrest in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
