Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has stated that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party is prepared to issue an apology regarding the events of May 9, provided that the accusations against them are substantiated.
Speaking to the media in Rawalpindi following a visit to Imran Khan in Adiala Jail, Gandapur emphasized that an apology from PTI can only occur if the fault is demonstrated to be theirs.
"The fault should be proven before any apology is made," Gandapur asserted. He criticized the approach of using coercive measures for negotiations, stating that discussions should be conducted without such pressures.
Gandapur highlighted the ongoing concerns of PTI's founder, Imran Khan, about the current state of the country. He reiterated Khan’s belief that their electoral mandate had been undermined.
"We were wronged, and our women are still incarcerated," Gandapur added.
KP CM expressed dissatisfaction with the present government’s refusal to comply with court orders, which he claimed demonstrates a lack of respect for the judiciary.
He indicated that PTI’s upcoming meeting in Swabi will address these issues and reaffirm their commitment to constitutional principles and true freedom.
"On May 9, a deliberate conspiracy against us was orchestrated," Gandapur alleged. He called for accountability from all parties involved, stating that anyone at fault should be prepared to accept responsibility.
Gandapur also mentioned the plight of Yasmin Rashid, who remains in jail despite her health concerns, and noted that those who left the party were not subject to similar scrutiny.
Concluding his remarks, Gandapur urged the nation to critically assess the situation and determine where the true fault lies. He reaffirmed PTI’s readiness to rally support for their cause, emphasizing their continued commitment to their principles and people.
