Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur says that shots were fired at a political party, the country’s prime minister is saying nothing happened, if given the option of positive negotiations with Afghanistan through Jirga, he will play a positive role.
Talking to the media in Islamabad, Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur said that the apex committee meeting was important. The prime minister himself spoke about 26 November. I said that 13 were martyred and 58 are injured while 45 are still missing. It is inappropriate for the Prime Minister to say that no shot was fired. Such things should be avoided.
He said that we have given the list of our missing persons to the government so that they can be recovered. There are successive statements by the government that we went into the red zone without permission. We are a political party, our workers are political, but the attitude taken with them is condemnable. We are patriots, we want justice. If there are any concerns, they should be discussed. Ishaq Dar said that these issues will be discussed in the negotiation committee.
Ali Amin Gandapur said that our priority is negotiations and we are negotiating to establish peace in the country. We are all fighting terrorism together. We will go to the last extent against terrorists and establish peace.
The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa said that so far Afghanistan has been discussed at the government level but not as a Jirga. Negotiations are done by the government, but if we are given the authority to negotiate as a Jirga, we are ready to play a positive role in the negotiations with our tribes. It has been reported that even during the talks with Afghanistan, cross-border operations are going on from there.
Ali Amin Gandapur further said that Pakistan is a priority and they will talk together for it. A detailed agreement regarding Karam has been made. Since Imran Khan’s government has gone, the acts of terrorism have increased. Wrong policies give birth to such things. The border area is the responsibility of the army and the federal government. Operations were conducted in the merged districts, but to no avail. Our demand is to form a commission on May 9.
