KP CM proposes IHC to seek meeting with Imran before provincial budget – Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi on Wednesday filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking permission to meet former prime minister and PTI founder Imran Khan ahead of the provincial budget for the next fiscal year.

Speaking to reporters at the IHC alongside KP financial advisor Muzammil Aslam, the chief minister said a meeting with the PTI founder was essential as the provincial budget had been prepared and required his final approval. He said the people of KP had given their mandate to the PTI founder, adding that consultation with him on the budget was necessary.

CM Afridi said the province was being deprived of its share of resources and alleged that the KP was being punished for supporting the PTI founder. He criticized the federal government’s development allocations, saying the province had been ignored in the previous federal budget and development agenda.

The chief minister also expressed concern over the country’s economic situation, saying priority should be given to the economy and welfare of poor citizens. He alleged that terrorism had seen an increase in KP and accused the federal government of treating the province unfairly.

He announced that the PTI would stage a protest outside Parliament during the budget session, scheduled to be held on June 10, and reiterated that as chief minister, he was authorized to take decisions on behalf of the provincial government.

Aslam told reporters that during the last meeting with the PTI founder last year, he consulted him on budgetary issues.

Aslam said the PTI founder had requested that he be consulted before preparing each budget. However, he said no meeting was held before the current financial year despite the importance of such consultations.

He said KP had received only a small allocation from the federal government’s development program and claimed that only six provincial projects had been included in the Public Sector Development Program (PSDP).

He argued that a meeting with the PTI founder was necessary for budget-related consultations and stressed that the proposed meeting would be apolitical.

Imran has been in prison since August 2023. He is serving a 14-year sentence in the ₹190 million corruption case and a 17-year sentence in the Toshakhana-2 case at Adiala Prison in Rawalpindi. The PTI regularly stages sit-ins outside Adiala jail on Tuesdays and Thursdays, court-mandated days for meetings with Imran, which have remained suspended in recent months.

A day earlier, authorities had stopped CM Afridi and Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan from meeting the former prime minister lodged in Adiala jail again.
