There is concern in many circles, including the authorities, about the Eid package given to the accused of May 9 by the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtoon province. Restlessness is also found among the officers who were injured on May 9. Provincial Advisor for Population Welfare Mashal Yousafzai is leading in bringing the package.
It is clear that after the Ramadan package, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government had also announced an Eid package of Rs. However, it has been learned that those who attacked the state on May 9 and PTI miscreants have also been included in the Eid package and it has been approved by the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtoon.
According to the sources, the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has approved the Eid package for the 34 PTI miscreants involved in the May 9 tragedy, who are currently in various jails and are facing some military courts, and released them to their families. The Eid package was released by Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur in his personal capacity.
According to Adviser Social Welfare Pakhtun Mashal Yousafzai, through Ansar Lawyers Forum, Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur included the families of PTI workers in the Eid package and provided assistance to their families considering them as members of the PTI family. went However, the sources told “Ummat” that the request to include the persons involved in PTI May 9 in the package was not of Insaf Lawyers Forum.
Rather, it was created as a tool to divert the anger of the authorities towards the lawyers. This decision was taken at the behest of some of the PTI leaders who are currently in hiding and their main objective is to convey the message that the miscreants of the May 9 tragedy had the full support of the PTI top leadership and that PTI will continue to support these miscreants.
According to the sources, the amount of Eid package is not so much. However, its announcement is important and it is an open message to the state institutions. Sources say that 9 people who were killed during the firing with the police and security agencies in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on May 9 have also been given an Eid package. Who entered the Chak Dara Fort and set fire to the military vehicles. While on February 8, two workers who were killed in a police clash during the arson attack in Shangla after the elections have also been given an Eid package.
In this regard, a senior government official said on condition of anonymity that with such open encouragement, attacks on government facilities will be easy targets in the future. Because when a national level party publishes and releases statements to the media, it sends a clear message that what was done was right. According to him, the police did not protect personal properties and did not kill for their personal lands. Rather, it was the protection of the state structure. Now to those officers and personnel who were injured on May 9 and 10. They have been given a clear message that protecting the state is not important. Personal and political interests are important.
Those who desecrated the memorials of the martyrs were arrested. What message will the families of these martyrs get from this package? According to sources, it would have been fine if the PTI leaders had helped from their own pockets. But if the head of the province does this, the results will not be good in the future. According to sources, this work should not have been advertised. But now the message is clear that PTI supports the May 9 events.
