The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly has passed a resolution calling for court-martial of military officers alleged to have interfered with other national institutions over the past two years. The resolution, approved under Speaker Babar Saleem Swati's chairmanship, faced opposition from 12 members.
Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has made statements criticizing state institutions and expressing intent to engage in direct talks with neighboring Afghanistan. These comments have sparked debate among political analysts and foreign affairs experts.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has governed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for over a decade. The province currently faces significant security challenges, with terrorism being a major concern.
Political observers suggest that the assembly's resolution may reflect fears of potential military trials for PTI leadership. They also note that Gandapur's statements about Afghanistan may align with certain political agendas.
Legal experts argue that the resolution and recent statements by PTI leaders may exceed their constitutional authority, particularly regarding foreign policy matters traditionally handled by the federal government.
Critics of the PTI government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa claim that the party has failed to address key public issues during its tenure and accuse it of attempting to deflect attention from governance failures.
