\nPESHAWAR:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I<\/span>mran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has given his seal of approval to the selection of members for the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) cabinet. Sources within PTI disclosed to The Express Tribune that Khan stressed the significance of ensuring representation from all districts, including Peshawar, in the cabinet. <\/span><\/p>\n

He personally endorsed seven names for cabinet positions, while the remaining seats will be filled at the discretion of the chief minister. <\/span><\/p>\n

Initially, the cabinet is set to comprise 10 ministers, three advisors, and three special assistants, aiming to ensure a diverse and inclusive representation of the province\u2019s interests.<\/span><\/p>\n

This decision was made during a meeting between Imran Khan and Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, which took place at Adiala prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sources said that Taimur Saleem Jharga is likely to be given the portfolio of finance minister.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, Meena Khan, Fazal Khan, Syed Qasim Ali Shah, Khaleequr Rehman and Zahir Shah Toru would also be made part of the cabinet. <\/span><\/p>\n

In this meeting, Khan underscored the urgent need for reforms in critical sectors such as education, police, health, and the revitalization of the Billion Tree Tsunami project. <\/span><\/p>\n

Highlighting the pressing issue of climate change, Khan directed Gandapur to expedite the reactivation of the Billion Tree Tsunami project, emphasizing the importance of proactive measures to combat environmental challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand the K-P CM emphasized that both the establishment and institutions belong to the people, but the decision regarding reconciliation with the establishment rests solely with Imran Khan. <\/span><\/p>\n

Khan\u2019s unique position as the only prime minister to be ousted through a no-confidence motion in Pakistan\u2019s history underscores the gravity of his role in shaping the party\u2019s approach to reconciliation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintaining a steadfast stance against the government of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Gandapur asserted that PTI\u2019s mandate was unlawfully seized through extensive electoral fraud. <\/span><\/p>\n

He vehemently stated, \u201cWe will not entertain any reconciliation with those who have illegitimately usurped our mandate. Our resolve is to establish a robust system that safeguards against future attempts to subvert the will of the people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The K-P chief minister affirmed that the provincial government is committed to maintaining a working relationship with the federal government for the collective benefit of all stakeholders. However, he emphasized that cooperation would not extend to condoning actions that undermine the democratic process.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe federal government\u2019s illegitimate acquisition of our party\u2019s mandate cannot be overlooked, and we cannot engage in collaboration with those who have manipulated the electoral system,\u201d he asserted.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also demanded of the Supreme Court chief justice to form an inquiry commission to probe the May 9 riots. The riots led to a crackdown against PTI members across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n
