KP CM wants people to hit corrupt officials with bricks

DERA ISMAIL KHAN: KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur on Wednesday asked the people to hit the official with a brick if he demanded a bribe from them.

Addressing the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers at Syed Alyan village in his native district, he said the one who paid a bribe and the one who took it had been cursed and would go to hell.

The chief minister asked the people not to complain to him about bribery demands by any government official and instead hit him with a brick.“Hit him with a brick and tell his son you have saved his father from being consigned to hell,” said Gandapur urging the public. The chief minister advised the people to neither become sinners themselves nor make him so. “The public should show ghairat (modesty) and punish the bribery taker themselves,” he added.

Later during a visit to the Dera Ismail Khan Campus of the government-run Zamung Kor, a facility for poor children, Gandapur said looking after the children living in the Zamung Kor was the responsibility of the KP government.
