VIP Kültürüyle Mücadele Sözü Veren PTI, KP'de Vekillere Geniş Ayrıcalıklar Getirdi

Summary · AI generated

Pakistan İçişleri Bakanı Tallal Chaudhry, Hayber Pahtunhva (KP) eyalet yönetiminin eyalet meclisi üyeleri, meclis başkanı ve başkan yardımcısına yönelik dokunulmazlık ve ayrıcalıkları genişleten üç yasayı 30 Nisan'da kabul etmesini eleştirdi. Chaudhry, Pakistan Adalet Hareketi'nin (PTI) daha önce 'VIP kültürünü sona erdirme' vaatlerini hatırlatarak, bu yasaların vaatlerle çeliştiğini söyledi. Yasalar milletvekillerinin maaş ve ödeneklerinde artışlar da içeriyor. PTI liderliğindeki KP hükümeti, partinin popülist ve elit karşıtı söylemine rağmen, kendi milletvekillerine kapsamlı ayrıcalıklar sağladığı için ikiyüzlülükle suçlanıyor. Federal hükümet ile PTI arasındaki siyasi gerilimin tırmandığı dönemde gelen bu eleştiri, partinin reform vaatlerine yönelik kamuoyu güvenini sarsabilir. Gelişme, Pakistan siyasetinde seçim vaatleri ile icraatlar arasındaki tutarsızlıkların sıkça tartışıldığı bir bağlamda öne çıkıyor.

    Tallal Chaudhry taunts PTI over pledges to end 'VIP culture' after KP expands MPAs' privileges

    Islamabad, Pakistan

    Minister of State for Interior Tallal Chaudhry on Wednesday criticised laws enacted by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa expanding MPAs’ powers and immunities, taunting the PTI over its former pledges to end “VIP culture”. The KP Assembly passed three acts on April 30, which pertained to immunities and privileges of MPAs, the speaker and the deputy speaker, as well as salaries and allowances of lawmakers. Although KP Gov­ernor Faisal Karim Kundi assen­ted to the laws on May 6, the legislation has remained under wraps. The Acts and the gazette notifications have yet to be uploaded to the KP Assembly website. Commenting on the new laws, Chaudhry criticised the PTI for providing major privileges to KP members despite making promises to end “VIP culture”. He noted that the party had claimed that under its leadership, assembly members would live as common people. “Do common people receive the conveniences of free travel, free arms licences, free stays at rest houses, blackout windows [and] special number plates on their cars, security for their whole families, and blue passports?” Chaudhry added that the federal government was not obligated to implement any legislation designed for “political bribery”. “But this legislation is enough to show their true face and political reality: that those who came to end VIP culture have, with this legislation, created a new example of it,” he said. Prime Minister’s Coordinator for KP Affairs Ikhtiar Wali Khan also demanded the reversal of the laws enacted by KP. Addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Wednesday, Khan said, “No law of this country applies to them. They can fire at anyone or hit anyone, but they are not answerable to anyone.” Under Section 10 of the legislation, provincial assembly members have been granted blanket immunity from preventive detention. Under Section 11, authorities will now have to seek the speaker’s prior permission before arresting a member on a criminal offence. “Under the umbrella of freedom of expression, [an MPA] can do anything and the speaker will be the custodian and he will be the only person to give permission to arrest a member of the assembly,” Khan said, contending that it was unlikely that the PTI speaker would allow so in any case. Under Section 14, which deals with additional privileges, MPAs will be entitled to licences for eight non-prohibited bore weapons, including four free licences and four issued on payment of a notified fee. Under the repealed law, they were entitled to four free lifetime licences for weapons. Khan questioned those changes in his press briefing: “If someone has the licence to own eight Kalashnikovs, what will he do?” The prime minister’s coordinator called for deweaponisation across Pakistan, adding that the responsibility for security should rest with the government, the armed forces and police. The new laws also permit lifetime official passports for assembly members and their spouses. Khan said, “Blue passport for life means that these people will leave on their passport and surrender it, and then get political asylum. […] They want to insult Pakistan globally.” He further criticised the jab at press freedom in the recently enacted laws, which he said allowed the speaker and the KP government to bar specific journalists and publications from covering assembly sessions. The KP Assembly pass­ed the KP Provincial Assembly (Powers, Immu­nities and Privileges) Act 2026 on April 30. On the same day, it also passed two other laws: the KP Province Speaker and Deputy Speaker (Powers, Immunities and Privil­eges) Act 2026, and the KP Province (Salaries and Allowances of Mem­bers) Act 2026. A statement issued by the office of KP Assembly Speaker Babar Saleem Swati had denied that any new or extraordinary privileges have been introduced for lawmakers. It explained that nearly 99pc of the powers and facilities being discussed already existed in the 1988 law, with recent amendments further clarifying those.
