‘No idea about this’: Faisal Kundi reacts to removal rumours
After such news, Faisal Kundi responded.
While speaking to journalists in Peshawar, he said he had no knowledge about any change in the governorship. “If the media is going to appoint governors, then God help us,” he remarked.
He added that he would accept whatever decision the party makes regarding his replacement.
Kundi, who is affiliated with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), took oath in May 2024 as the 36th KP governor, replacing his predecessor Haji Ghulam Ali, who was appointed to the said post back in 2022.
Kundi also called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif last week to discuss matters concerning KP, including the imposition of governor’s rule.
At the time, a source in the PM Office said the prime minister expressed full confidence in Kundi and gave signals that the government had no intention of removing him.
The discussion on the occasion covered key administrative issues concerning KP and the country’s overall political situation, during which Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs Engineer Amir Muqam and Federal Minister for Public Affairs Unit Rana Mubashir Iqbal were also present.
