Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ali Amin Gandapur, has announced the launch of a 90-day nationwide movement, stating that it will determine the political direction of Pakistan. Speaking at a press conference in Lahore, Gandapur emphasized the importance of peaceful democratic resistance and reiterated that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) remains committed to constitutional and political dialogue.
“We’re not here to create chaos; we want to restore democratic balance,” Gandapur said. “We will gather people from every street, town, and city to demand our rights within the bounds of the law.”
He stressed that former Prime Minister Imran Khan, despite facing personal and legal challenges, has shown willingness to engage in dialogue for the sake of the country. “Imran Khan has always prioritized the nation over himself,” he added. “He is ready to talk, but only with those who hold real authority to make decisions.”
Gandapur also raised concerns over what he described as political victimization and the curtailment of civil liberties. “Respect for privacy and dignity must be upheld. If rights violations continue unchecked, it will only deepen divisions,” he warned.
Without directly naming institutions, the chief minister criticized what he called “excessive involvement” of non-political forces in political matters. “Those responsible for protecting borders should focus on national security, not politics,” he said.
Addressing the state of governance and economic distress, Gandapur stated that Pakistan’s current trajectory demands serious reflection. “Our debt burden has crossed 76 trillion rupees. The country can’t afford more uncertainty. It’s time for collective responsibility and reforms.”
Calling on all political parties and institutions to engage in introspection and meaningful dialogue, he said, “Let’s admit past mistakes and work together for a better future. The nation needs unity, not division.”
Gandapur concluded with a strong message: “These 90 days will decide whether we continue with business as usual or move toward genuine democratic transformation. If politics cannot deliver justice, we may have to rethink the path forward—but through peaceful and legal means.”
