An emergency session of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Provincial Assembly has been called for 2:00 PM today to address the alleged disappearance of Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. The Assembly Secretariat issued a notice on Sunday announcing the session.
The session will discuss the Chief Minister’s alleged abduction, as well as alleged mistreatment of women and children at the KP House in Islamabad. Further topics on the agenda include damage to and occupation of KP House property, and alleged violence by Islamabad police.
KP Information Minister Barrister Saif stated that the assembly session was called in response to the current political situation.
Earlier, Barrister Saif had reported that the Chief Minister’s whereabouts were unknown, stating that he last spoke with Gandapur via satellite phone at 8:00 AM and that subsequent attempts to contact him by phone had been unsuccessful.
Speaking on a private television program, Barrister Saif further explained that the Chief Minister was with his staff when Rangers officials arrived at the KP House. He reiterated the inability to contact the Chief Minister by phone, and emphasized that arresting Gandapur would constitute contempt of court, given his bail from the Peshawar High Court.
