Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Ali Amin Gandapur has asserted that he has strong connection with the armed forces. Talking to media in Rawalpindi, CM Gandapur said he belonged to an Army family, adding that his brother had fought the Kargil war.  Gandapur condemned the politicization of national martyrs, calling it a disgraceful act and criticizing recent remarks made by federal ministers as deeply regrettable.  

CM Gandapur said he will personally visit the home of Shaheed Major Adnan. Talking about national issues, the Chief Minister urged for dialogue and policy-driven solutions. “We have consistently called for meaningful talks. The only way forward is through policies and concrete actions,” he said. Speaking on the events of May 9, Gandapur distanced his party from the controversial incidents, stating, “May 9 was never part of our party policy.

Any violations were individual actions, not directed by the party leadership.” He reiterated his loyalty to PTI Imran Khan, clarifying that the founder of PTI was is leader. He said the official PTI Twitter account is still managed by those who were given access by Imran Khan.  Gandapur said PTI follows the vision of its founding leader and not any other ideology or philosophy.
