Prime Minister’s Coordinator for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Affairs, Ikhtiar Wali Khan, has demanded the reversal of laws enacted by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly that expand the powers and immunities of its members. The KP Assembly passed three acts on April 30, which were assented to by Governor Faisal Karim Kundi on May 6.
The legislation includes provisions such as blanket immunity from preventive detention under Section 10, and a requirement for the speaker’s prior permission before arresting a member on a criminal offense under Section 11. Additionally, Section 14 grants MPAs entitlement to eight non-prohibited bore weapon licenses, including four free and four on payment, an increase from the previous four free lifetime licenses. The new laws also permit lifetime official passports for assembly members and their spouses.
Ikhtiar Wali Khan criticized these changes, questioning the need for increased weapon licenses and the provision for lifetime official passports, suggesting it could lead to global embarrassment for Pakistan. He also highlighted that the Acts and gazette notifications have not yet been uploaded to the KP Assembly website.
