Fake Cases Against Imran Khan Will Face Strict Accountability: Gandapur

Fake Cases

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur issued a stern warning on Monday, stating that those responsible for making false cases against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan should prepare for accountability.

In his address to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, Gandapur highlighted the acquittal of the PTI chairman from the Cipher case, emphasizing that those behind the false allegations must be held accountable.

He called for justice and transparency, demanding that the Commission’s report on the matter be made public. “The one who took the name of opening is being called a traitor. People are not fools now,” he remarked, urging the government to acknowledge past mistakes and avoid repeating them.

Gandapur underscored the sacrifices made by the tribal regions, stressing that their resources and rights must be duly recognized. He assured that no requests from the merged districts would go unheard and warned that failure to meet their demands would result in significant action.

“The tribes have sacrificed for this country, but their resources are not being given. They played their role in every difficult time; now they have to be given rights,” he asserted.

The Chief Minister announced several key initiatives aimed at improving the province’s infrastructure and welfare. Among these, the health card amount will be increased to Rs 36 billion, and treatment facilities will be enhanced from Rs 1 million to Rs 2 million.

He pledged the completion of 500 long-standing development projects this year, emphasizing that development would not be limited to ceremonial plaques but would occur in consultation with local representatives.

Gandapur criticized the federal government for cutting the education budget and warned of a strong reaction if development projects were halted. “If the federation stops the development project of the province, it will not leave. The reaction will come and then it will come in a proper way,” he cautioned.

To support the youth of the province, Gandapur outlined a robust plan, earmarking Rs 15 billion for easy loans and skill development.

He also announced a solarization initiative to combat energy shortages, offering free solar facilities to poor residents in load-shedding affected areas and subsidized rates for others. Government offices and residences will also be solarized to reduce energy costs.

In a move to ensure transparency and efficiency, Gandapur announced that government offices would reduce their electricity bills by 20% under an austerity campaign.

He also pledged to strengthen the police and security forces, stressing the need for federal funds to enhance security measures. Addressing corruption, he vowed to end bribery and implement stringent laws against drug abuse. Additionally, he committed to providing five marla plots to the families of martyrs.

The KP Chief Minister expressed gratitude for the budget proposals and assured the implementation of members’ suggestions. He criticized the federal government for withholding the province’s rightful funds and pledged to fight for their dues.

“The net profit of electricity has reached Rs 90 billion, which we are not getting. The Federation is not giving us our rights. We all have to raise our voice for this together,” he declared.

Gandapur’s comprehensive address highlighted his commitment to justice, development, and the well-being of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s residents, reinforcing his dedication to tackling corruption, improving infrastructure, and ensuring that the province receives its due share of resources and rights.
