Gandapur not allowed to meet Imran: Saif

PESHAWAR: Adviser to Chief Minister on Information and Public Relations Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif on Monday condemned the denial of permission to Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur for meeting Imran Khan despite court order.

In a handout, he termed this act as contempt of court and announced that they would approach the court against this violation. Barrister Saif expressed concerns that the federal government was disregarding court orders after the 26th Amendment.

He questioned how a deputy superintendent of jail could deny permission to the chief executive of a province to meet Imran Khan, citing this as an insult to the entire province. He accused the federal government of promoting provincial discord, saying that Ali Amin Gandapur is the legitimate Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, unlike Maryam Nawaz who held a “fake” Form 47.
