LAHORE, Dec 19 (APP/DNA): Governor Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Faisal Karim Kundi on Friday visited Sundas Foundation Lahore, where he met under-treatment child patients, inquired about their health and distributed gifts among them to uplift their morale.
Upon his arrival at the Foundation, he was warmly received by Patron Sundas Foundation Sohail Warraich, Founder and President Muhammad Yaseen Khan, Director Khalid Abbas Dar and members of the foundation’s management.
During the visit, Governor Faisal Kundi interacted with children suffering from thalassemia, hemophilia and other blood-related disorders, encouraged them and reviewed the medical facilities being provided for their treatment.
Talking to the media on the occasion, Faisal Karim Kundi said that Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa was facing serious governance issues, alleging that the provincial government had set unprecedented records of corruption over the past two years. He claimed that the provincial headquarters had effectively shifted outside Adiala Jail.
He said that prisoners would eventually return after completing their sentences, but stressed that the KP government must focus on running the province effectively. He added that the chief minister should sit in Peshawar to resolve public issues.
Kundi said that following Pakistan’s victory in the war against India, the country had earned global recognition. He had requested the Punjab chief minister to transfer the PTI founder, currently imprisoned at Adiala Jail, to another province so that the governance system in KPK could function smoothly. He alleged that the PTI founder was enjoying VVIP facilities in jail.
Faisal Karim said that the imposition of governor’s rule depended on the performance of the provincial government, adding that there would be no need for such a step if the provincial government cooperated with federal institutions. However, he warned that statements against state institutions could worsen the situation.
Kundi further claimed that terrorism-related instability was linked to decisions taken during the 2008–2013 period and alleged that militants had been resettled during the PTI government’s tenure. He also alleged involvement of Afghan nationals in the deteriorating law and order situation, claiming that evidence had been presented.
Referring to accountability, the governor said action against a former DG ISI had proven that accountability applied to all, adding that accountability of the judiciary would also follow. He termed the execution of former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto a judicial killing.
The visit concluded with expressions of goodwill and appreciation for the welfare services being provided by the Sundas Foundation.
