PESHAWAR: Khyber Pukhtunkhwa (KP) Governor Faisal Karim Kundi on Wednesday said that there is no delay in the presentation of the provincial budget for fiscal year 2026-27.
Talking with media persons in the Parliament House, Governor Faisal Kundi said, “The sister of the PTI founder said that the KP government will not present the budget without holding a meeting with the PTI founder.”
He said that in his opinion, PTI founder’s sister does not know the constitution, and it is the government’s failure if PTI does not present the budget.
Governor Faisal Karim Kundi said that there is talk that the KP government will present the budget on Friday.
He further said that last year, PTI said that they would not present a budget. Taking a jab at former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, Governor Kundi said that Gandapur did not convert Dera Ismail Khan into Switzerland.
Governor Faisal Karim Kundi said that there were issues like terrorism, kidnapping for ransom, and other issues in Dera Ismail Khan. He assured that if PTI talks about the development and progress of the province, then they will join hands with them.
He said that KP is facing a wheat shortage issue. Governor Faisal Karim Kundi appealed to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to take notice of this situation and remove the hurdles. He predicted that a Jayala chief minister will be sworn in Gilgit-Baltistan soon.
In another development, the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) fixed the hearing of the contempt of court petition filed by Uzma Khan, the sister of PTI founder.
A three-member bench of the Supreme Court will hear the contempt of court petition tomorrow.
