KP CM takes exception of ‘misrepresentation' of his statement

PESHAWAR: Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Khan Gandapur has expressed strong concern over the Indian government's misrepresentation of his recent statement, describing it as a deliberate attempt to deflect attention from India's longstanding involvement in sponsoring terrorism and destabilizing peace in the region.
In his detailed policy statement issued here in this regard on Friday, he condemned Indian longstanding involvement in terrorism across Pakistan and the entire region, stating that India has consistently played a destabilizing role, both directly and through covert means.
'As ex-Minister for Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan Affairs, I am fully aware of the ground realities,' he said. 'I am writing to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and will personally appear before it to expose what India has done, and continues to do, in Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan', he added.
The chief minister said that India's involvement in orchestrating terrorism in Pakistan is undeniable, particularly highlighting India's network of over a hundred consulates in Afghanistan — which, according to him, were never meant for diplomacy or trade but served as operational hubs to orchestrate terrorism within Pakistan.
He vowed to expose India's role in fuelling instability, especially in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, saying: 'I will go there personally and tell the whole world what India has done. I will reveal how deeply your government is involved in terrorism in Pakistan. Our entire party, led by Imran Khan, and the Pakistani nation, are united in defending our country.'
He further said that India orchestrated attacks on Chinese nationals, strategic infrastructure, and other assets in Pakistan, saying that all such incidents are ultimately linked to Indian interests.

Police arrest former AJK premier Abdul Qayyum Niazi

Former Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and a leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Sardar Abdul Qayyum Niazi, has been arrested by police from the Samahni area of Bhimber. He was 'illegally taken into custody' while he was heading to address a public rally in AJK on Sunday, the PTI said in a statement on its Facebook page. AJK Police arrested the former PM near Jhandi Juntra while he was travelling from Samahni to attend a rally in Bhimber. On this occasion, a scuffle also broke out between police and PTI workers. PTI launches 90-day 'do or die' movement Aaj News cited sources as saying that Niazi was participating in a public contact campaign to mobilise support for a rally to be held in Lahore on August 5, aimed at securing the release of PTI founding chairman Imran Khan. Sources said that after being taken into custody, the former AJK premier was transferred to Mirpur. The arrest of the PTI AJK President has increased concerns about the potential for further arrests of party leaders and the possibility of police blocking PTI convoys from travelling to Lahore. Police said arrest warrants were issued against Niazi two days ago in connection with the May 9 riots. The PTI leader was facing more than 11 cases, they added. Jailed Imran Khan's sons likely to join rally demanding his release On July 31, in a post on X, the ex-AJK PM wrote: 'The issuance of arrest warrants against the central and provincial leadership of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf before the August 5 protest is apparently a planned political revenge. 'Targeting dozens of leaders is a blatant insult to the Constitution, law, and democracy. This approach is a moment of reflection for the credibility of state institutions and public trust.' Niazi has served as the 13th prime minister of AJK from August 4, 2021, to April 14, 2022.
