Advisor to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information and Public Relations Barrister Dr. Muhammad Ali Saif has said that there is no rebellion in the Tehreek-e-Insaf. Talking to the media in Abbottabad, he said that baseless rumors have been spread regarding the budget. Khan Sahib had asked for consultations on the budget. If the budget had not been passed, the province would have suffered. If the budget had not been passed, an economic emergency could have occurred. The budget was passed while fulfilling public interest and legal requirements.
The provincial advisor said that if Khan Sahib wanted to bring changes, it was his right. Khan Sahib can change the budget at any time. The cry about minus Imran Khan is baseless. PTI workers should also clear their misconceptions. Barrister Saif further said that the protest movement for Imran Khan’s release has never stopped, it is continuing in different forms. Preparations for a big movement were underway because first the domestic situation, the border and then the Iran-Israel issue had arisen. He said that a statement by a party official could be a statement of the party. I deny that there is any rebellion in the party. Khan Sahib had said that I should be consulted on the budget. On Khan Sahib’s instructions, the budget for education, health and climate change has been increased. Wedding halls are a business, property and other fees have been reduced.
He said that PTI has curbed corruption. An accountability commission has been formed. An accountability committee has just been formed. In the first case, a minister had to resign. The doors to jail open for me because I am trusted. The person I go to meet has never said that he is a servant of the establishment. I am not anyone’s tout. Imran Khan has appointed me to this position. Barrister Saif said that there is a proposal to include more ministers in the cabinet. Women have the highest respect and dignity in KP. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is with women. In Punjab, Rs 1.5 crore has been spent on the Chief Minister’s kitchen. It is in our culture that we do not leave any guest without feeding them.
