Talal Chaudhry: Ali Amin Gandapur’s Future Likely to be in Adiala Jail, Not the Chief Minister’s Office

Lahore: Talal Chaudhry, a leader of Pakistan Muslim League (N) and Senator, has commented that Ali Amin Gandapur’s future is more likely to involve Adiala Jail rather than the Chief Minister’s office. Chaudhry criticized the use of funds that should have been allocated to the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, alleging they were instead spent on processions and marches in Islamabad. He described the PTI’s recent rally as a collection of mere “hollow boasts,” with nothing substantive achieved.

In a video statement, Chaudhry remarked on the past six months of anticipation that culminated in a rally which, despite grand promises, failed to fill even a single ground in Islamabad. He compared the speeches at the rally to the exaggerated dialogues in Sultan Rahi’s films, noting that they were more about empty rhetoric than meaningful action.

Regarding the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s threats, Chaudhry stated that such language was inappropriate and unbecoming of a public official. He condemned the disruption caused by Gandapur’s associates, including attacks on Islamabad police and threats against national institutions. Chaudhry emphasized that threats and bravado are ineffective and that the real solution to issues is through proper legal channels.

Chaudhry dismissed Gandapur’s claims about freeing Imran Khan in 15 days as unrealistic, suggesting that instead, Gandapur might find himself in Adiala Jail. He also described Gandapur’s threats to come to Lahore as empty bravado, warning that if he attempts to create chaos, he would face severe consequences.

Chaudhry further criticized the PTI’s rhetoric about legislation, stating that law-making is the prerogative of the Parliament and should focus on counter-terrorism, economic improvement, and political stability rather than inflammatory speeches. He reiterated that PTI’s threats and protests are nothing new and emphasized that no NRO (National Reconciliation Ordinance) or forgiveness for past wrongdoings would be granted. He called for the return of 190 million pounds and other funds from Toshakhana and stressed that effective governance requires legislative action rather than mere theatrics.
