Chief Minister KP Ali Amin Gandapur reached the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, slogans were raised in the House on the arrival of Ali Amin Gandapur.

According to media News, the missing Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur reached the KP Assembly.

Chief Minister KP Ali Amin Gandapur in his address to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly said that I am proud of my house, I salute the people of Pakistan that the founder is standing with PTI.

In his fiery speech on floor of the house, CM Gandapur revealed that he spent the entire night at the KP House in Islamabad.

“I am proud of this house and grateful to the people of Pakistan for standing firmly with Imran Khan,” said the chief minister.

He added that the PTI founder is fighting for our future generations. He said that the PTI wasn’t allowed to hold a peaceful protest.

According to Gandapur, the government is afraid of PTI and therefore it didn’t grant permission to hold protest.

“I spent the entire night at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House and police raided it multiple times,” he said.

He added that an FIR would be launched against IG Islamabad and he will have to tender an apology in this house.

The chief minister said that the people of KP gave him the mandate to rule and more than 40 million people voted for Imran Khan in Feb 8 elections.

CM Gandapur also dared the federal government to impose the governor’s rule in the province.

“We’ll definitely take revenge of our insult and disrespect,” said Gandapur.

Earlier, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly held an emergency session and passed a resolution against the disappearance of Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.

The resolution accused the federal interior minister and the governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of misleading and demanded a report from the Speaker.

The emergency session, chaired by Speaker Babar Saleem Swati, began after a 5-hour delay, with workers chanting slogans as soon as it started.

Speaker Swati said that the Assembly represents the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and called for a discussion on recent events, with both government and opposition members present.

He explained that the workers were invited to listen to their representatives and asked them to focus on the speeches and refrain from chanting slogans. He also mentioned that damage had been done to the Chief Minister’s and ministers’ rooms at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House in Islamabad.

Despite warnings from the Speaker, workers continued to chant during the session. The Speaker cautioned that if the disruption continued, they would be removed from the gallery, stressing the importance of maintaining order in the serious session.

Earlier, the KP Speaker had issued the production orders of Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur, the speaker also issued the production orders of other members of the Provincial Assembly.

The Speaker consulted the Advocate General on the Production Order and Article 165A of the Constitution. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Advocate General also briefed the House on the Production Order.

Advocate General KP said that the provincial members from Sindh were picked by the Punjab government, orders came from the Lahore High Court that the production order is applicable everywhere, the speaker can issue the production order to all at the same time.

AGKP further said that the law states that the Speaker can issue production orders under Section 165A.

PTI leader Asad Qaiser on Sunday accused the government of “abducting” Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur from KP House in Islamabad, warning that if he is not produced within 24 hours, his party will stage a nationwide protest.

His statement came ahead of the emergency Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly session, initially rescheduled for 2pm today, but delayed due to Gandapur’s uncertain whereabouts.

The session finally started after a delay of five hours, with KP Assembly Speaker Babar Saleem Swati in the chair.

“If the KP chief minister is not produced within 24 hours, the PTI will stage a nationwide protest,” Qaiser warned while speaking to reporters outside the KP Assembly.

“We categorically say that this is not an attack on Gandapur, but on the whole country. If it has happened to the PTI, it will happen to you, too as not even the chief executive of a province is safe.”

Qaiser said that according to the information received by his party, Gandapur had been “abducted from KP House”, as evidenced by the destruction inside the building.

He claimed that over 1,000 PTI workers had so far been arrested.

“We do not want anarchy, we want to peacefully protest and exercise our rights,” Qaiser maintained. “The PTI would continue to protest until its last breath and with no limits as protesting was a constitutional and legal right”.

A large number of protesters reached Islamabad yesterday as PTI held a demonstration in response to their incarcerated founder, Imran Khan’s, call for a “peaceful protest”.

Different groups of protestors, including the caravan of CM Gandapur entered the capital from Taxila near Nicholson Monument after breaching the police cordon.

The CM then left the party workers in Islamabad and moved to the KP House from where he “disappeared,” sparking rumours about his arrest.

PTI leaders issued conflicting statements regarding the news of the alleged arrest, while some maintained he was “detained”, KP government spokesperson Barrister Muhammad Saif stated on X that the CM had not been “formally arrested”. He, however, added that a “heavy contingent of Rangers and police are present at the KP House.”

KP Assembly session
According to a notification, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, issued by the provincial government, KP Assembly Speaker Swati “called the sitting of Assembly on Sunday at 2pm which was earlier adjourned.”

The agenda for the session said that the assembly was convened to discuss the serious damage caused by the Islamabad police, Rangers and government officials as they went inside the KP CM’s residence in the capital.

According to the agenda, the ongoing session is set to discuss the “indiscriminate use of rubber bullets and shells, mistreatment of women and families”, including the damage caused to government property.

“The session will also discuss the disappearance of KP CM”, it said.

Meanwhile, around 300 PTI supporters reached the KP Assembly and started sloganeering and demanding Gandapur’s “release.” Some of them protested outside the building, while others chanted slogans from the public gallery.

On the other hand, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi refuted rumours about Gandapur’s alleged arrest, stating that he was neither in police nor any other institution’s custody. He also said that the government had “evidence of the PTI leader running from his residence.”

“I don’t know why he ran and for what reason,” the interior minister said today while speaking to the media in Islamabad.

PTI’s political committee, while criticising the “disappearance” of the chief minister, warned that there would be “serious repercussions” if Gandapur was arrested.

The KP CM, according to Barrister Saif, is on bail until October 25.

“If arrested, it will be an insult to the mandate of the people of KP, the fake government will have to answer for such unconstitutional and illegal actions,” Saif continued in his X post.

Despite Barrister Saif’s statement that Gandapur had not been “formally” detained, PTI’s leader of the opposition in the National Assembly, Omar Ayub Khan, persisted in his claim that Gandapur had been “arrested” from KP House.

Gandapur on the run: Interior Minister confirms he is not in custody

Speaking to the media after the funeral prayers for martyred police constable Abdul Hamid Shah, Naqvi remarked that Gandapur was on the run, and if he was in Islamabad, he would be found, as checkpoints have been established for his capture.

He mentioned that there was footage of Gandapur fleeing from the KP House and that police have conducted raids related to three or four cases.

Expressing sorrow over the martyrdom of the injured police officer, Naqvi conveyed condolences to the family of Constable Abdul Hamid Shah, stating that he was killed by the protestors.

He assured that strict action would be taken against those involved in the officer’s murder.

Furthermore, Naqvi announced that one of the two sons of the martyr would be offered a job in the police force, and the family would receive a plot along with the martyrs’ package.
