KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur Claims Constitution and Law Have Disappeared in Pakistan

Peshawar: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has asserted that the constitution and rule of law no longer exist in Pakistan, claiming that elected representatives are being unjustly disqualified and their rights are being stripped away. He also accused the authorities of rigging elections to rob his party of its mandate.
In a recent statement, Gandapur criticized the current government, referring to it as a “begged and borrowed” one imposed upon them. He claimed that corruption from previous administrations is being weaponized against his government, adding that the Kohistan scandal is not a provincial matter but a federal one, yet his party is being blamed for it.
During his 17 months in office, Gandapur emphasized that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has made historic strides, generating over 250 billion rupees in revenue. He stated that when he assumed office, the province was drowning in debt, with salary payments becoming a struggle, but now the province has been steered towards financial stability. He also highlighted the establishment of a 190 billion rupee endowment fund to manage debt repayment, with a goal of reaching 300 billion rupees.
Gandapur claimed that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has now become a model for transparency, service, and development in the country, noting the province’s success in tackling terrorism and restoring public trust. He promised to expand the role of local Jirgas (tribal councils) in decision-making, with public opinion being decisive in future policies. He stressed that the sacrifices made by police and military martyrs would not go in vain.
The Chief Minister vowed to continue fighting against what he described as “regime change” efforts and the state’s adversarial forces, despite facing increasing retaliatory actions. He declared that this is a battle for Pakistan and its freedom, and that his party would fight until the very end.
