Adviser to the Prime Minister, Rana Sanaullah, has said that certain quarters have now grown displeased with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and wish to see him removed from office.
Speaking on Samaa TV’s programme ‘Mere Sawal with Absar Alam', he said that when former KP chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur began to heed their counsel, he was removed, adding that CM Afridi is presently listening and responding to reason.
Sanaullah added that if the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) wishes to bring in a new chief minister, it may do so.
Meanwhile, Sanaullah said Pakistan is playing, and will continue to play, a constructive role for the betterment of Muslim countries, with both political and military leadership engaged in this effort. He expressed hope that the country would succeed in its endeavours.
He said that the United States has carried out the extent of bombing it intended against Iran and has now confined itself to a maritime blockade. "Efforts are under way for Pakistan’s role to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The prime minister, deputy prime minister and Field Marshal remain in constant contact with various parties," said Sanaullah.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) stalwart said the federal cabinet had also been taken into confidence, adding that the global situation is causing harm, which Pakistan is also bearing.
He said that Pakistan does not view war as an opportunity, but rather seeks its end, emphasising that any opportunities for the Muslim world should come in conditions of peace.
On energy matters, he said both Pakistan and Iran stand to benefit. He added that those installing solar panels have limited capacity to store electricity, while distribution companies also lack storage capability.
"Demand rises during peak hours and load-shedding becomes necessary due to the avoidance of costly power generation," he said.
He added that shop closures are intended to reduce electricity consumption during peak hours.
"The government seeks to bear only as much solar generation as it can accommodate, while individuals remain free to install solar systems for personal use without restriction," he maintained.
