Decision on civil disobedience after meeting with Imran: Gandapur

PESHAWAR: KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur said on Monday that the decision to launch civil disobedience had not been finalised.

Talking to reporters after speaking at a seminar here, he said the decision would be made after his meeting with the incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan. He said they wanted to secure the release of the PTI founder rather than transferring him to a prison in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He advised the ones dreaming about banning the PTI to stay within the limits or else they would strongly react.

“We will come up with a plan about the civil disobedience after meeting with the PTI founder,” he added. Earlier, speaking as the chief guest at a seminar organised by the Information and Public Relations Department and the provincial Anti-Corruption Establishment at Nishtar Hall, the chief minister said that corruption could only be eliminated when society collectively begins to view it as a serious moral evil.

He termed corruption as a social menace, and said that “The day we start seeing corruption as a grave issue, its eradication will begin,” he remarked. He stressed the need for implementation of anti-corruption measures beyond mere rhetoric.

The chief minister underlined the importance of seeking blessings and peace in life over the pursuit of wealth, saying that wealth was meaningless without inner tranquility and divine blessings. He called for decisions in all aspects of life to align with Islamic teachings, and said that following these principles was essential for success in both this world and the hereafter.
