PESHAWAR  -  Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding chief Imran Khan has approved the names for the Khyber Pakh­tunkhwa cabinet. Chief Minister Ali Amin Gan­dapur had a one-and-a-half-hours meeting with Imran Khan at Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi, discuss­ing the political situation and cases of Khyber Pakh­tunkhwa. The Chief Minis­ter also briefed Imran Khan on the future strategies for the province. According to sources, the approval was given to the names of Tariq Muhammad Tarand, Mush­taq Ghani, Arshad Ayub, Fazal Shakoor, Dr. Amjad, Riyaz Khan, Faisal Turk, Aqibullah Khan, and Mee­na Khan among others for various ministries. It is also said that the approval was given for more than 10 min­isters and four advisors in the cabinet. Speaking to media outside the Adia­la Jail, Ali Amin Gandapur said that “as the federal and provincial governments, we will keep in touch but we will not compromise with vote theft.” He said that PTI is saying there should be a rule of law, and they would continue to work according to their principles, adding: “We will create a system that no one can steal the mandate in the future, we need to establish peace and security in the province, provide employment, im­prove basic facilities, edu­cation, and health, and pro­vide financial assistance to more than a hundred thou­sand families.” Ali Amin said that they demand from the Chief Justice of Pakistan to form a commission on May 9. “Our women and other workers are in jails, those who benefited from May 9 incidents should be held accountable, we have left two governments for Pakistan and PTI is fight­ing for our children.” He claimed that the federal government has stolen the mandate, and PTI would protest peacefully in Pe­shawar, as it did not get re­served seats. “I have cer­tain rights of my province, and I will come to Islam­abad for those rights,” he added. He also said: “The establishment is ours, the institutions are ours, and if there is an agreement with the establishment, PTI will make the decision about it.” Meanwhile, PTI leader Afzal Marwat talking to reporters outside Rawalpindi’s Adi­ala Jail said that jailed for­mer prime minister Khan has barred party lawmak­ers from engaging with those who “stole PTI’s man­date.” “Khan has given clear instructions,” Marwat said adding that engaging with such people would look like a joke to the public.
