PESHAWAR: JUNE 18, 2025.
Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi on Wednesday emphasized the vital role lawyers play in the development of any society, highlighting the invaluable contributions of the Peoples Lawyers Forum (PLF) in the Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) struggle for democratic stability. He made these remarks while addressing a meeting of the PLF at the Governor House in Peshawar. The session was attended by PPP’s central Secretary General Syed Nayyar Hussain Bukhari, provincial President Muhammad Ali Shah Bacha, General Secretary Shujaa Khanzada alias Shazi Khan, PLF President Gohar Rehman Khattak, General Secretary Lajbar Khan Khalil Advocate, and several PLF office bearers and members from across the province.
Governor Kundi stressed the importance of maintaining regular contact with party workers and organizational bodies. Urging unity, he advised PLF members to put aside internal differences and strengthen each other instead of engaging in internal conflicts. He also emphasized that only party-designated representatives should be invited to official and organizational events. The Governor expressed concern over the lack of rightful entitlements and privileges being given to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by the federal government. He said that the PPP leadership is actively working to secure representation and positions for PLF members within federal institutions. He also recalled how successful PLF representatives in bar council elections were welcomed at the Governor House, reiterating that its doors remain open to all party workers. Calling for stronger coordination, Kundi proposed holding a PLF convention at the Governor House with PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari as the chief guest.
Governor Kundi concluded by expressing gratitude to Syed Nayyar Hussain Bukhari for his presence and affirmed that such engagements will carry on in the future.
