In a startling revelation, it has emerged that the government of KPK’s official vehicles and seized assets from the Excise Department were allegedly utilized in recent protests in Islamabad.
Sources indicate that these vehicles were distributed among political leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), prompting serious concerns regarding the appropriation of public resources for political gains.
Reports suggest that dozens of vehicles, ranging from various models, were collected from warehouses and the Excise Department, eventually ending up at the KPK Chief Minister's House. From there, these vehicles were handed over to PTI leaders for use during the protests. According to Secretary Excise, Fayyaz Ali Shah, the administration facilitated this transfer by providing the vehicles to the Chief Minister's House.
This incident has raised alarms about the accountability and integrity of governmental practices in the province, with critics calling for an investigation into the misuse of state property for political purposes. The situation continues to unfold as more details emerge, shedding light on the intertwining of politics and public resources in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
