PTI accuses govt of political vendetta
“PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan on Monday accused the federal government of using governor's rule and the imposition of an emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) as a pretext for political victim…”
Speaking to the media outside parliament, Gohar said the party rejected both governor's rule and the emergency, while emphasising that there could be no disagreement over the need to eliminate terrorism. However, he alleged that the measures were being used to target the PTI rather than address the province's security challenges.
"You have imposed governor's rule and an emergency, both of which we reject. Terrorism must be eliminated; there can be no two opinions on that," he said.
The PTI chairman also condemned the 30-day extension in the detention of party founder Imran Khan's sisters, adding that Aleema Khan was a non-political figure but had nevertheless been subjected to a further 30 days of detention.
