Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur gave a deadline of one week to quash first information reports (FIRs) against PTI workers.

“Be ready for punishment if the FIRs aren’t removed,” he said in a speech minutes after being elected CM.

It was unclear during the speech who he directed the deadline to. Later in a post on X, the PTI said: “A message to the police to remove all FIRs for which evidence cannot be produced.”

He also demanded that a judicial inquiry be conducted by the Supreme Court on May 9 incident.
