Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Ameen Gandapur is confident that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan will also be out of jail soon.
Talking to media on Tuesday, Chief Minister KP neither confirmed nor denied his role in the release of Bushra Bibi. When asked about his reported role, he avoided giving a straight answer and said Bushra Bibi had been released on the court’s order. “She was jailed in fake cases,” he said, adding Bushra is out of prison because the court granted her bail. He insisted soon Khan will also be released from jail.
When asked if there are any assurances involved in the release of Bushra Bibi, Gandapur said: “We don’t believe in deals and won’t enter into one”. When asked why he is sure Khan will also be released from prison soon, he said: “Because cases against [Imran] Khan are also fake”.
Answering a question of whether PTI will continue with its policy of criticising the institution of army and army chief, he said: “We are neither against the institution (army) nor against any individual (army chief). We are against their policies and want them to be corrected.”
He said PTI’s struggle for its rights was not only peaceful but also within the parameters of law and the Constitution. The PTI wants a probe into the February 8 elections and May 9 incidents, he added.
