KPK: Gandapur seeks ex-US envoy’s clarification on Donald Lu’s ‘lies’. During his interaction with reporters, Chief Minister Gandapur condemned what he perceived as interventions or conspiracies against Pakistan, emphasizing that such actions were unacceptable to patriotic Pakistanis.

“The arrival of the cipher was confirmed by the then ambassador also. Whether it was an intervention or a conspiracy, being a patriotic Pakistani, it cannot tolerated,” he stressed.

He also criticized US diplomat Donald Lu for allegedly making false statements, suggesting that former US ambassador Asad Majeed should be summoned to clarify the situation. “If there was no cipher then Imran Khan has been wrongfully punished,” he maintained.

Moreover, Gandapur highlighted that his government had started the health card program in KP and emphasized that the federal government owed the province finances, asserting that it was the right of KP.

He further accused the government of stealing the mandate and declared it unconstitutional, raising concerns about the legitimacy of the government, alleging that Forms 45 and 47 had been manipulated.

The KP chief minister questioned the ability of a government that allegedly obtained power through stolen mandates to deliver on its promises.
