\nMr Achakzai said that by stealing the public mandate, unconstitutional and un-Islamic governor\u2019s rule had been imposed in the province. He said the Peshawar High Court could decide on the injustice being done to the province.
\nHe said a petition had been filed in the Peshawar High Court in solidarity with the people of Peshawar.
\nHe said lawlessness which started from Feb 9 was continuing till today. He alleged that assembly was bought by paying crores of rupees and 94 PTI members were ousted through the use of SMG.
\nThe opposition leader said that democracy had been bulldozed by imposing unconstitutional and un-Shariah governor\u2019s rule in KP.
\nHe said the rulers had no fear of God and courts in their hearts, and that was why they had toppled the elected government of KP and handed over powers to an individual and imposed emergency in the mineral-rich districts.
\nHe said that during negotiations they had presented their demands to the government, but negotiations were failed on a pretext and governor\u2019s rule was imposed in KP as per their premeditated plan.
\nHe said Pakistan was a voluntary federation and all have to live together under one Constitution. He said resources generated from Khyber to Punjab belong to the people of the province. He demanded that PTI founder be given the same facilities being given to other prisoners and his family members and acquaintances be allowed to meet him.
\nSpeaking on the occasion, Tehreek Tahaffuz-i-Ain-i-Pakistan leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas said that lawlessness which started from Feb 9 was continuing.
