      <title>PTI leaders at odds over KP’s Mines and Minerals Amendment Bill</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Disagreements within the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party leaders have come to the forefront regarding the Mines and Minerals Amendment Bill in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to sources, KP Chief Minister, Ali Amin Gandapur, and Provincial Minister Atif Khan’s groups have clashed on WhatsApp.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Khan, along with Ex-KP minister Shakeel Khan and several other ministers, has openly opposed the amendment bill.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He stated that the Bill “is not in the best interest of the people of KP.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, Gandapur, in a sarcastic manner, remarked within the party group, “There is no issue with the bill; the issue is personal.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, sources suggest that Khan did not respond to Gandapur’s statement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PTI’s Information Secretary in KP, Adeel Iqbal, told &lt;em&gt;Aaj News&lt;/em&gt; that Gandapur will call a parliamentary committee meeting regarding the bill.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iqbal further mentioned that the Director General of Mines and Minerals will provide a detailed briefing on the bill to all provincial assembly members.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He added that such debates within the party are a normal part of the process and that these are not differences but a healthy exchange of views.&lt;/p&gt;
