KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi said in Peshawar on Saturday that the chapter has been closed on those who destroyed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and invited Maulana Fazlur Rehman to join him for the prosperity of the province.
Speaking to the media, he framed the invitation as a turn toward rebuilding after what he called a destructive past. He said Fazlur Rehman had long argued that no government could be formed or run without him. That claim, the governor said, no longer holds: a government has been formed without him, and it will also work.
Invitation and political message
KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi repeated that he wants Fazlur Rehman to come forward and work with the provincial side. He linked that appeal to a harder line on the past, saying the chapter is closed on those who had destroyed the province. The remarks place the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) leader’s role in provincial politics against the governor’s claim that power can now function without that old veto.
He also criticised the centre on security. According to him, the federal government has failed to control law and order in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He did not set out new federal measures in the remarks reported from the briefing; the charge stood as his assessment of the present situation.
Security districts and natural resources
On the ground in the province, KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi said he intends to transform 10 to 12 districts into model districts for security. The figure points to a focused list of areas rather than a province-wide overhaul announced in detail. He did not name the districts in the comments available from the briefing.
He also spoke about minerals and oil. If those resources are present, he said, they should be extracted for the prosperity of the people. He accused unnamed opponents of not wanting ordinary residents to prosper. The statement did not include production targets, project names, or a timeline for extraction.
What comes next
The governor’s public invitation leaves the next move with Fazlur Rehman and with how the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government and the centre respond on law and order. Whether the model-district plan and the minerals message translate into concrete programmes will depend on follow-up announcements and action on the ground.
