Pakistan People’s Party and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz have expressed extreme concerns with Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ghulam Ali and said that ‘governor rule’ seems to be in place in the province.

Both parties are coalition partners in the federal government, and the governor belongs to Jamiat-e-Ulema (F) whose leader Fazal ur Rehman also heads the Pakistan Democratic Movement.

The two parties have called on their national leadership to remove the governor from his post immediately.

PML-N’s provincial spokesperson Ikhtiar Wali said that the province was under governor rule and said that their hands should be ‘untied’ by removing the governor.

He also said that other parties were enjoying the fruits of power while his party’s workers were looking on helpless.

Wali added that making allies happy was a government’s responsibility but appointments like the governor were eating into the ruling alliance.

Former MPA Nighat Orakzai also addressed a message to Asif Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto and said that the doors of the governor house had been closed for PPP workers and they were not able to get any work done.

’We donot accept this governor rule under any circumstances,“ she said.

The Awami National Party has already expressed its displeasure with the governor as well.
