'Undemocratic': ANP to submit adjournment motion against Imran Khan
Awami National Party (ANP) said it would submit an adjournment motion in senate against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, Express News reported.

ANP spokesperson Zahid Khan said that the adjournment motion would be submitted against Imran for calling a meeting of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) provincial secretaries on Friday.

Saying that it was “unconstitutional” for a party chief to call such a meeting, Zahid said that the PTI Chairman was running the province like a cricket team.

“If Imran wanted to manage the affairs of the province, he should have contested the elections from the provincial assembly seat and opted to become the chief minister of K-P,” said Zahid, adding that PTI chairman was using the K-P Assembly like a “rubber stamp”.

I support ANP for their stance. I dont understand imran khan, he has absolutely no control on himself. First he went crazy after MQM back in 2008, than Nawaz sharif, than MQM again and now fazulur rehman.

Imran has been micromanaging KPK affairs. He should focus on strengthening the party and let the KPK affairs on the regional party leadership. Prevaiz Khattak sahib's frequent visits to zaman park have sent negative signals in both the bureaucracy and the administration.

He has got every right to run KPK govt. just like NS or Zardari do. If the KPK govt screws up, the fingers are going to be pointed at IK and not Khattak.

In Khan’s shadow: Adjournment motion planned against Imran’s participation in govt meetings
PESHAWAR: Deeming it “unethical”, the Awami National Party (ANP) will submit an adjournment motion against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for participating in provincial government meetings.

“On Monday (today) I will submit the adjournment motion at the Assembly Secretariat. We want to know in what capacity Imran Khan presides and participates in the provincial cabinet’s official meetings and meets with the department secretaries,” said ANP parliamentary leader Sardar Hussain Babak.

Opposition parties, including the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), will also support the adjournment motion. They too believe it is unethical for a party’s president to preside in government meetings, added Babak.

“We do respect him (Imran Khan) as a political party leader but there were political parties in the past who governed the province – their central leaders did not interfere in administrative affairs. They (PTI) have made a mockery of the system.”

Babak claimed the PTI leadership refrains from openly condemning terrorists and talking against terrorism, the main issue which Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa faces. The party has diverted the people’s attention to less important issues, maintained the ANP parliamentary leader.

“They (PTI) are confused. They don’t even know how to govern a province. Now they are inducting PTI members who lost the elections into working groups across government departments.” The ANP will soon issue a white paper which will highlight the PTI’s performance and bad governance, added Babak.

Commenting on the ANP’s campaign for the by-polls – NA-1 Peshawar and NA-5 Nowshera in particular – Babak claimed the party has the people’s mandate and will defeat PTI candidates in these constituencies.

He accused the PTI of using the government machinery to influence the electoral results in their favor in Nowshera, Swabi and Mardan. “Chief Minister Pervez Khattak is influencing by-polls in Nowshera where his son-in-law Imran Khattak is contesting, while K-P Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser is announcing developmental projects in Swabi where his younger brother Aqibullah is contesting.”
PTI provincial information secretary and MPA Ishtiaq Urmar refuted the ANP’s allegations, calling them “baseless”.

“Imran Khan has participated in the meetings, but did not chair them. Even an ordinary man can participate in these government meetings, let alone Imran Khan,” said Umrar. He claimed the ANP failed to deliver in its tenure and since the PTI government is planning to reform every government department, the opposition parties are afraid they will lose their “corrupt sources”.

^ As if it will make any difference. The ANP and JUIF need to accept the reality that they have LOST the elections and are out of govt. for a change!
