Kyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur Wednesday lambasted Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman for looking to “set his price” amid Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s attempts to secure support for its protest movement.
“Fazlur Rehman doesn’t even have a [single] vote in his own house […] Even my [PTI’s] worker will beat him [in elections],” Gandapur said while talking to journalists in Islamabad.
He appeared before an anti-terrorism court in cases pertaining to audio leaks, violation of Section 144 and alleged involvement in vandalism at Islamabad’s judicial complex.
Elaborating on the prospects of joining hands with the JUI-F, the KP chief minister said that he had no objections if Fazl extended his support to the PTI.
“PTI founder [Imran Khan] has said that he is ready to sit [with anyone] for Pakistan’s [interests],” he noted.
Addressing the country’s political situation, Gandapur fired a fresh salvo at the Shehbaz Sharif-led Pakistan Muslim League-N’s government, saying that the country suffered adverse consequences due to the experiment that was carried out to bring the Pakistan Democratic Movement into power.
“The country cannot afford [any] further experiences,” he said while referring the current PML-N-led coalition government as “PDM 2.0”.
