Gandapur reiterates plans to shut down Pakistan over Imran Khan’s treatment

PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has, once again, said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will hold protests and shut down the entire country if party’s incarcerated founder Imran Khan continues to be treated poorly in Adiala jail.

PTI’s official account posted a video of Gandapur on X, formerly twitter, in which he can be seen addressing the government on complaints by Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan. Aleema has alleged that Imran is being served “unhygienic food” which has caused health issued for him. She has also said that Imran Khan’s jail cell does not have electricity since October 3.

Gandapur repeated these complaints, adding that the government has adopted the worst attitude towards the jailed former premier. “We have to remove this government by shutting down the whole country and take back the stolen mandate,” he said in the video.

The chief minister also criticised the defecting PTI members who voted in favor of the 26th constitutional amendment presented by the government. He warned that those who defected, whether for “money or out of cowardice” will be remembered as traitors. “They will not be spared,” he said.
