KP govt not to follow civil disobedience: Minister

PESHAWAR - Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Senior Minister Inayatullah Khan on Tuesday said that the provincial government will not exercise civil disobedience called by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan.
“Not paying electricity bills and other dues would be considered as an act of treason,” KP Senior Minister said while talking to media.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan, who continued his sit-in in the red zone of Islamabad against alleged vote fraud in last year general elections, had appealed to the nation to observe civil disobedience to mount pressure on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to resign.
Inayatullah Khan said that government institutions could not function against the State.
Replying to a question about forward block in PTI, he said that he read some news in the media, adding, that he personally doesn’t know anything about that.
He said that the Jamaat e Islami is not participating in PTI-led sit-in, however, he said that the party supports Constitutional demands.
“We are making our efforts for political reconciliation,” he said.
