Islamabad Court Issues Arrest Warrant for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister
Pakistani media have reported that a court in Islamabad has issued an arrest and production order for Suhail Afridi, the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. This order was issued after he was accused of damaging the credibility of government institutions.
According to Geo News, the court’s action was triggered by statements and accusations made by Afridi against certain government departments, which the court stated could undermine public trust in these institutions.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is a significant Pakistani province bordering Afghanistan, and its political developments often have wide national repercussions. There are no further details yet regarding the exact timing of the enforcement of the order or any official response from the Chief Minister.
In recent years, Pakistan has faced increasing insecurity alongside political instability. Within this context, several high-ranking officials, including former Prime Minister Imran Khan, have been involved in legal cases and have spent periods in detention.
