LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) MNA Dawar Khan Kundi on Saturday alleged that PTI leader and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Minister Ali Amin Gandapur is facilitating people involved in an assault on the girl.
In a letter written to PTI Chairman Imran Khan, Kundi alleged that Ali Amin Khan Gandapur is related to the family which carried out the attack.
He requested the party chief to sack Gandapur from his ministerial position and urge him to withdraw his support from the suspects and ask the girl’s family for forgiveness.
Gandapur, who Kundi describes as “a source of embarrassment for the party”, allegedly provided “support for the criminals in the case in which an orphan girl was paraded naked by eight armed men” in DI Khan.
“I visited the family a week before and they asked, in fact, requested me to make sure that Ali Amin Gandapur, revenue minister KP, may be forced and asked to withdraw his support for the criminals,” Kundi said in his letter.
“After privately investigating the case, the reservations of the concerned family were true. Ali Amin provided logistic and physical support to the criminals in violation of the moral norms of society,” he alleged.
“The notorious activities of Ali Amin Gandapur are a source of providing a bad name to the party as a whole,” Kundi claimed.
He reminded the PTI chief that “since the inception of the provincial government of KP, we had high hopes of implementing the manifesto of PTI in KP and vowed to make an example for the other provinces of our homeland.”
However, Gandapur’s conduct has “lowered our heads in shame”, he said.
