Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi on Saturday launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, questioning whether Gandapur would prioritize passing the controversial Mines and Minerals Bill or focus on safeguarding his position. Speaking to the media here, Governor Kundi accused the provincial administration of widespread corruption, saying that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led KP government has become a hub of internal conflicts and mismanagement. Kundi alleged that Ali Amin Gandapur is merely following orders from Islamabad “like an obedient child.” He remarked, “Let’s see whether he chooses to pass the Mines and Minerals Bill or save his job.” The Governor further claimed that all provincial institutions and ministers are involved in corruption, while accountability bodies like the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) remain silent. “Even before assuming the Governorship, I repeatedly said that corruption is rampant across the province. Jobs are being sold, and public resources are being plundered,” he added. Accusing the PTI of misusing provincial tax revenues for political rallies, Kundi said, “Even PTI ministers are now pointing fingers at each other. Their own finance minister has admitted that all development funds were spent on public gatherings.” He questioned why the provincial government is avoiding discussions on the Mines and Minerals Bill, suggesting that instead of wasting money on luxury, the chief minister should engage with other political parties on the bill. Kundi also criticized the PTI-led government’s alleged failure to maintain law and order in the province. “Security is deteriorating in KP. The chief minister himself has said that former cabinet members were corrupt, yet institutions like NAB and FIA have remained inactive despite these serious allegations,” he said. Separately, Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Faisal Karim Kundi, on Saturday emphasized that private educational institutions are not merely centers of learning but are strong partners in national development. He added that they also help in reducing the burden on public educational institutions. The Governor said this while inaugurating the Zamarud Campus of Roots International Education in Hayatabad Peshawar. He attended the event as the chief guest. The inauguration ceremony was attended by Roots International Education’s CEO Waleed Mushtaq, Head of Corporate Communication Sadia Batool, and other distinguished guests. In his welcome address, CEO Waleed Mushtaq warmly greeted the Governor and other attendees, highlighting the institution’s educational mission and objectives. Speaking at the event, Governor Kundi praised Roots International Education for its contributions to the country’s education sector over the past 37 years. He acknowledged the organization’s role in promoting high-quality and modern education across Pakistan, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He said that the newly inaugurated Zamarud Campus is a testament to modern educational facilities, international curricula, and a holistic approach to student development. He expressed confidence that the campus would be a significant addition to Peshawar’s educational landscape. Addressing the students, Governor Kundi urged them to aim high, dream big, and work hard. He stressed that the future of the nation depends on educated and talented youth, calling them the “bright future of Pakistan.” He encouraged students to pursue education with passion and commitment, making their parents and country proud.
