Govt to take action against KP CM under Esta Code: Sana 

On the other hand, the government has decided to take legal action against the unconstitutional steps taken by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Mehmood Khan.

Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah in his statement on Thursday said that the KP chief minister abused his constitutional powers by launching an attack on the federation. 

KP Chief Minister Mehmood Khan’s participation in the PTI’s Fitna (disruptive) march along with his armed police officers was akin to an attack on the federation, Sana added.
