ISLAMABAD — State Minister for Law and Justice Barrister Aqeel Malik has alleged that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi was supporting terrorists, claiming that evidence exists to substantiate the accusations.
Speaking on the matter, Malik said the Constitution does not specify a particular time frame for lifting an emergency, adding that the law should take its course in Afridi’s case. The minister also claimed that Afridi was in protective custody.
Custody Location Questioned
Malik said he did not believe Afridi was being held in a royal guest house, though he conceded the chief minister could be staying at another guest house. He further stated that the relevant record concerning Afridi would be presented before the court.
The allegations remain attributed to Malik, with the minister insisting that supporting records would be produced in court.
No Formal Work Yet on 28th Amendment
Separately, the minister clarified that formal work on the proposed 28th Constitutional Amendment had not yet begun, indicating that the legislative process had not entered its formal stage.
