LAHORE: Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has warned Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapura against vandalism in Punjab. At a press conference in Lahore on Sunday, she said that no one would be allowed to commit vandalism in Punjab. “PTI violated Section 144 in Rawalpindi. In case of violence and chaos, power will take over the law,” she said. She added that the ruling KP party is jealous of the progress and development taking place in Punjab. “Why are you not protesting in KP,” Azma asked. The provincial minister said there are more than 30,000 vacancies for teachers in KP while the number of public sector universities is also decreasing. According to Azma Bokhari, Ali Amin Gandapur wanted to create a rift between the Punjabis and the Pashtuns. “People of Punjab have rejected PTI’s politics as they all praise CM Maryam Nawaz,” she said. Earlier, CM Gandapur claimed that they faced shelling and firing every three kilometers on the road towards Rawalpindi on Saturday. He said he spared the Punjab police who were jailed when they tried to stop the protesters from entering Punjab. He warned that if firing resumed against PTI workers, they would retaliate with force, stating, “If one bullet is fired at us, we will fire back ten and if we are shelled, we will respond in kind.”
