PESHAWAR:
In a surprising move, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Shah Farman on Sunday removed Muhammad Atif Khan, Shahram Khan Tarakzai and Shakeel Ahmad from the provincial cabinet.
A notification issued by K-P Chief Secretary Taj Muhammad reads that the governor exercised his powers under Article 132 read with clause 1 of Article 105 of the Constitution of Pakistan.
“On their de-notification from their respective offices, they have ceased to hold portfolios of provincial ministers with immediate effect.”
Atif was serving as the senior minister for sports, culture and tourism while Tarakzai was the health minister and Ahmad held the revenue and estate portfolio.
The move comes amid reports of escalating power-struggle between Atif and K-P Chief Minister Mahmood Khan. The two Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders reportedly had a showdown in a provincial cabinet meeting last week.
However, the reports of confrontation was denied by the K-P government.
This is a developing story and will be updated accordingly.
