PESHAWAR: Pakistan Peoples’ Party accepted challenge from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister, who had ‘threatened’ to bar party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari from entering Governor House.

PPP sources said that party has decided to invite Bilawal Bhutto to KP Governor House.  This would be first visit of PPP Chairman to Peshawar after appointment of new Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi. PPP sources said that Bilawal Bhutto would stay at Governor House to hold meetings with party leaders and workers.

Schedule of his visit is being finalised. CM Ali Amin Gandapur earlier said that Governor Faisal Karim Kundi cannot enter KP House. “If I challenge, even Bilawal Bhutto cannot make it to KP Governor House,” he added.He told Bilawal to either build new Governor’s House for Faisal Karim Kundi or provide place to him in Sindh House. “When I was arrested, they took me to Karachi. If forced, I can pick their supporters and bring them to KP,” he added. Chief Minister said he was not afraid of Governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. However, if it was imposed, people would occupy both Governor House and CM House as only people’s rule is permissible in province. Responding to Gandapur’s statement, Faisal Karim Kundi said he knew how to protect Governors House if Gandapur attacked it.

“If you try to occupy Governor House, come and try it, but you will be dragged through streets.” He claimed that he has experience in handling political hooligans.
