ISLAMABAD: The PTI has claimed that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has not been invited to the apex investment body’s meeting on Saturday, which will be attended by the chief executives of the other three provinces.

However, a government source told Dawn that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has not called any meeting of the Special Investment and Facilitation Council (SIFC) apex committee on May 25.

In a post on social media platform X, PTI also shared an alleged notification issued by the SIFC for the meeting at the PM House.

The party claimed that the alleged notification has been sent to the chief ministers of Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan, but not KP.

The PTI said that the move to not invite Mr Gandapur reflected the government’s ‘bad faith’ and suspected a ploy to usurp the province’s resources.

“We condemn this action and demand transparency in the workings of this unconstitutional and fraud institution [SIFC].”
