"As a chief minister, I announce that we will not allow any operation in this province," CM Gandapur said while addressing a gathering of the Aman Jirga in Bannu on Friday.
"We will not shy away from shedding our blood for our country but will make our decisions on our own," he added.
The development came a day after CM Gandapur chaired a meeting of the apex committee, seeking to reassure the representatives of the Bannu Aman Jirga who sought increased role of police in the province among other demands.
The meeting of the province's top security body discussed the issues related to terrorism and the Bannu incident wherein at least four people were killed and several others sustained injuries after a protest staged on traders' call against deteriorating law and order situation escalated and turned unpleasant.
The incident caused widespread outrage in Bannu, after which CM Gandapur visited the area and tried to calm the people.
In his address today, the PTI-backed CM noted that wrong decisions were imposed on the country by the "slaves of the US", adding that the people of the province suffered huge losses due to wrong decisions made in the past.
CM Gandapur reiterated his resolve against terrorism, saying the provincial authorities would not tolerate any gang in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. He stressed that police would launch action wherever they suspected the presence of miscreants.
"Any highhandedness, if committed in the province, will be perceived as being against me," he remarked.
Responding to Gandapur's statement, Federal Information Minister Tarar said the chief minister had to give such statements as he was answerable "to a man [Imran Khan
...aka
The Great Khan, who ain't the brightest knife in the national drawer...
] imprisoned in the Adiala Jail".
He stated this while addressing a presser flanked by Federal Minister for Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
