Despite mediation by PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar, tensions between Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur and PTI Peshawar Region President Atif Khan persist. A heated argument erupted in a PTI WhatsApp group over the K-P Mines and Minerals (Amendment) Bill, with Atif Khan calling it “against public interest.” Gandapur hit back, questioning if Atif had even read the bill and offering a Urdu translation if needed.

PTI spokesperson Malik Adeel Iqbal stated that the bill’s approval is on hold, with the final decision resting with Imran Khan. Party sources confirm the rift remains unresolved, with Gandapur suggesting the dispute is personal rather than policy-based.
