Federal Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar issued a strong warning to Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, cautioning him against leading a march on the federal capital. Tarar made it clear that any such move would face legal consequences.
During a press conference in Islamabad, Tarar criticized Gandapur’s plans for a “revolution” against the central government, stating, “If the K-P chief minister intends to attack the federal government using state resources, the law will respond decisively. A revolution doesn’t arrive with ministers, official convoys, and government employees.”
He further emphasized that Gandapur’s threats to march on Islamabad with state resources were unacceptable and warned that such actions could undermine the country’s recent economic progress.
“They want to destabilise the country. If they want to bring about a revolution, let them do so in the fields of education and healthcare in K-P,” he remarked.
Tarar praises Prime Minister’s UN visit
Tarar also praised Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s recent visit to the United States for the United Nations General Assembly, which was lauded internationally.
He highlighted how Pakistan’s delegation boycotted the Israeli Prime Minister’s speech, setting an example for other nations who followed suit.
“The hall was nearly empty during the Israeli Prime Minister’s speech, and it was our Prime Minister’s leadership that sparked the walkout,” he noted.
Tarar further mentioned that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas expressed gratitude for Pakistan’s support, calling Sharif “a brother to the Palestinian people.”
Economic progress and international recognition
The information minister also shared positive news on Pakistan’s economic progress, stating that inflation had dropped to 6.9%, and the World Bank had praised Pakistan’s economic policies.
“Even Turkey’s president commended Pakistan’s improving economy at the UN,” Tarar added.
He reiterated that the PTI’s attempts to destabilise the country were not in line with the economic improvements that Pakistan has achieved.
“The world is now recognising our economic policies, and we will not allow anyone to derail this progress,” he stated.
Warning to K-P CM
Tarar also warned that any attempt by the K-P chief minister to launch a march on the federal government using public resources would be met with a strict legal response.
“Marching with state resources will not bring a revolution. If there’s any such action, the law will move,” he said, urging Gandapur to focus on improving services in his own province instead.
