Nine Additional and Assistant Advocate Generals have resigned from the Advocate General’s Office in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa amid growing internal differences and reported tensions.
The resignations have drawn attention as questions emerge over the circumstances surrounding their departure.
Among those who stepped down are Additional Advocate General Inam Yousafzai and Assistant Advocate General Muhammad Naeem.
The officers submitted their resignation letters to the Chief Minister.
Resigning Officers Express Confidence in Political Leadership
In their resignation letters, the officers expressed complete confidence in the provincial political leadership.
They also described their two years of service under the PTI government as a matter of pride.
However, they stated that they could no longer continue in their positions.
The resignations came despite their stated confidence in the provincial leadership, adding to speculation about the reasons behind the decision.
Senior Lawyer Levels Allegations Against ILF Leadership
Following his resignation, senior lawyer Inam Yousafzai spoke to the media and levelled serious allegations against the provincial leadership of the Insaaf Lawyers Forum (ILF).
According to Yousafzai, certain office-bearers of the forum allegedly demanded monthly payments from law officers serving in the Advocate General’s Office.
He further claimed that he sought information regarding those funds.
According to his account, that request led to pressure being placed on him to resign.
These allegations reflect Yousafzai’s claims and have not been independently verified in the source material.
Yousafzai Says He Remains Loyal to PTI Founder
While addressing the media, Inam Yousafzai reaffirmed his political affiliation.
He said, “I am a loyal soldier of PTI founder Imran Khan.”
He also claimed that he enjoys the support of the party’s top leadership.
In addition, Yousafzai accused the provincial president of the Insaaf Lawyers Forum of exploiting personal differences.
According to him, those differences ultimately led to pressure on the provincial government to accept the resignations.
Resignations Add to Political Debate
The resignations of nine law officers have added a new dimension to the ongoing political discussion in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Although the officers expressed confidence in the provincial leadership, the allegations made by one of the resigning officials have intensified public interest in the matter.
Meanwhile, the resignations have raised questions about internal dynamics within the legal and political structure linked to the Advocate General’s Office.
As the situation develops, attention is likely to remain focused on any official response regarding the allegations and the future appointments to the vacant legal positions.
