Terrorism was an excuse to remove elected govt in KP: PTI

The PTI senator challenged the government to present evidence to the public to substantiate its allegations, saying that accusations alone were insufficient to establish a claim. He also questioned the legality of imposing governor’s rule without a resolution from the provincial government.

Ali Zafar maintained that the Constitution did not permit the arrest of a chief minister through the imposition of governor’s rule, describing such an action as unconstitutional. Zafar said a writ petition had been filed in the Peshawar High Court against the move.

He added that the matter would be examined by the relevant courts and that PTI would challenge the government’s actions through legal forums. Discussing negotiations with the government, the PTI leader said a meeting with the party’s founder had been a key condition for talks.

He stated that matters concerning the postponement of the long march and the meeting had previously been settled. Referring to Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s remarks, Zafar said the issues had been resolved during talks with the prime minister, but the situation subsequently changed.

Reiterating his party’s position, Ali Zafar said PTI would not retreat in the face of the government’s proposed measures. He added that the arrest of one individual would not necessarily end the movement, saying the party intended to continue its political struggle.
