Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur asserted on Sunday that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was "attacked with a clear plan."

Upon arriving at the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly after his recent absence, CM Gandapur stated, "The KP House in Islamabad belongs to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. We were granted permission to hold a rally in a livestock market in Lahore—are we animals? We have not even been allowed peaceful protests."

He further emphasized, "We were attacked with a clear plan against us. Our party is being targeted, our symbol is being taken from us, and our people are being forcibly removed."

Gandapur expressed pride in his assembly, stating, "I take pride in my house," as members warmly welcomed him back. He concluded by highlighting the ongoing threats to PTI, declaring, "Those who have been attacking our party are being exposed daily, and everyone is uniting to eliminate PTI."

"The government is petrified of something; why are we not allowed to hold rallies?" he questioned.

He announced plans to file a case against the Islamabad IGP, demanding, "The Islamabad IGP must apologise on the floor."

Gandapur asserted his presence in Islamabad last night, saying, "Let the federal government know, I was in Islamabad last night. Anyone responsible for vandalism at the KP House must apologise."

“I left the KP House alone, crossing 12 districts to reach here,” he added.

CM Gandapur expressed readiness for negotiations, declaring, “I am prepared to negotiate for Pakistan.”

He stated, “Experience governor’s rule if you wish, but I am not afraid of threats. You started the war, but we will end it."

Earlier on Saturday, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced that strict action would be taken against all individuals involved in the violent protests in Islamabad, specifically targeting KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur, whom he accused of leading the attack. For more details, read the full story here.

Speaking alongside Inspector General (IG) Islamabad and IG Punjab at D Chowk, Naqvi detailed that 564 protestors had been arrested, including 120 Afghan nationals, while 11 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police officers were also taken into custody. You can find additional information on the arrests here.
