Governor summoned top security officials
Governor Faisal Karim Kundi chaired a meeting yesterday involving the chief secretary and inspector general of police. The gathering focused on the province's ongoing security situation and law-and-order challenges.
CM claims move violates constitution
Chief Minister Sohail Afridi stated that holding such a meeting while the provincial government holds a two-thirds majority is unacceptable. He described the governor's actions as an attack on democracy and advised officials not to follow unconstitutional orders.
Government seeks legal opinion
The provincial administration plans to request an opinion from the advocate general regarding the legality of the summons. Afridi emphasized that the constitutional mechanism for removing a chief minister remains a vote of no confidence.
