Asif Ali Zardari ruled out imposition of governor’s rule in KP
ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari on Thursday ruled out the imposition of governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in an attempt to quash rumours arising from the recent shouting match between Governor Faisal Karim Kundi and Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.
According to a statement, Faisal Kundi called on the president.
“President Zardari instructed Governor Kundi to work in people’s interest and expressed good wishes for him,” a press release said.
In a fresh message of threat to the Centre, the KP chief minister warned that he would occupy the Pesco offices in protests againsts “unannounced loadshedding”.
However, a source close to President Zardari told Dawn that he had ruled out the possibility of imposing governor’s rule in KP.
He said a segment in the PPP believed that Governor Kundi should exercise restraint amid “provocative statements” by Gandapur. “The same message Zardari Sahib conveyed to Mr Kundi,” the source added.
“The governor was advised that the dignity of his office required him to avoid political statements.”
