In a statement from his office, Dr. Ibadullah emphasized that the Chief Minister\u2019s position is \u201cone of service, not confrontation,\u201d and that public issues, particularly education, health, and law and order, should be the top priority.<br \/>\nHe cautioned against using official authority for personal or party battles, stating that development and stability, not political rivalry, are the true mandate of the people. \u201cChange does not come from statements but from practical steps. Differences should be addressed through democratic traditions, not turned into hostility,\u201d he said, adding that the use of political slogans, including the so-called Imran Liberation Force, should not distract from governance. Dr. Ibadullah underscored that the province is not a political arena, and the Chief Minister should concentrate on serving the public rather than engaging in confrontation.
