Faisal Kundi, Amir Muqam confer on KP situation

ISLAMABAD: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Governor Faisal Karim Kundi on Sunday met Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) KP President Amir Muqam at Governor House and discussed upcoming meeting of opposition leaders in the province.

Amid reports of a possible change of PTI-led government in KP, a PML-N source told Dawn that Mr Kundi has planned a meeting of opposition leaders at Governor House soon.

The Jamiat-i-Ulema-i-Islam-F (JUI-F) has opposed any change of provincial government through a presidential order, Governor’s Rule, but did not rule out a constitutional and parliamentary way like a ‘no-confidence motion’, JUI-F leader Maulana Ghafoor Haideri said on Sunday.

The source said Gover­nor Kundi and Amir Muqam discussed the possible change in KP as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif formed a committee to seek the support of oppo­sition leaders in the province to achieve the goal.

Meanwhile, Mr Kundi visited the residence of former PTI leader and incumbent adviser to the PM Pervez Khattak to condole the death of his sister.

A few days ago, the governor also met JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman.

Mr Kundi also called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif recently, followed by the issuance of a press release stating that the PM tasked Mr Kundi with starting a campaign to form a new government in KP and hold consultations with opposition members of the provincial assembly. Both Mr Kundi and Mr Muqam had been tasked with meeting JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman for further consultations.

Last week, Opposition Leader in the Khyber Pakh­tunkhwa Assembly Dr Ibadullah visited Governor Kundi. The meeting, which was also attended by PPP’s KP chapter president Mohammad Ali Shah Bacha, discussed overall political situation in the province.

Media reports said that Dr Ibad had briefed the governor on the ongoing coordination and mutual engagement among members of the opposition parties.

The two leaders also exchanged views on the recent outreach by independent members of the provincial assembly and discussed the upcoming Senate elections.

Gwadar sit-in called off, but movement to continue, says Mahrang

GWADAR: Baloch Yakjehti Com­mittee lea­der Dr Mahrang Baloch has called for all Baloch people to unite, saying that they should remain committed to the national movement in the face of oppression, injustice, and the enforced disappearance of their loved ones. Speaking at a large gathering at Fida Shaheed Chowk on Friday, after reaching Turbat from Gwadar, ending an 11-day-long sit-in in the port city, she said that the sit-in had ended but their movement had just begun. In response, the Baloch people’s patience, courage, and national resistance had consistently shown that this was their homeland and its wealth belongs to the Baloch, she said.
