Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has said that the issues between former prime minister Imran Khan and the Establishment must be resolved by Imran Khan himself, as he himself held no authority in this regard. Speaking to the media in Peshawar, Gandapur stated that there are two major obstacles in the way of Imran Khan’s release. The first, he said, is the absence of rule of law in the country.

“If the law functions, Khan can be released immediately,” he remarked.  The second hurdle, according to the CM, is the ongoing standoff with the establishment. “This matter can only be resolved by Khan himself; I have no authority in this matter,” he clarified. Ali Amin Gandapur further said that Imran Khan is “fighting the nation’s battle”, and the current situation is evident to all. He reaffirmed that PTI stood firmly with its ideology and would continue its struggle until the objective is achieved.
