The deadlock over the appointment of the Chief Secretary of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa reached a critical juncture today as Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur took a decisive step in his meeting with Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif. Despite past traditions, Gandapur forwarded only one name for consideration, escalating tensions with the federal government. The Chief Minister’s bold move comes as he pushes for the removal of the current Chief Secretary, Nadeem Aslam, and proposes the appointment of PAS BS-21 officer Shahab Ali Shah. With both sides refusing to budge, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has taken the unprecedented step of preparing legal documents for potential court action against the Federation, signaling a potential showdown in the corridors of power.
