Peshawar:<\/strong> The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has presented its budget for the fiscal year 2026-27 in the provincial assembly, with Chief Minister Sohail Afridi announcing a total outlay of Rs2,170 billion.<\/p>\n

The budget session witnessed strong protests from opposition members, who created a ruckus in the house, surrounded the speaker\u2019s dais, and raised slogans while holding placards. The intense protest led to heightened tension within the assembly.<\/p>\n

During the session, Chief Minister Sohail Afridi stated that no official draft would be signed and no grants would be released to the federal government until permission is granted for a meeting with the PTI founder.<\/p>\n

The assembly session, chaired by Speaker Babar Saleem Swati, remained tense as opposition lawmakers continued their protest inside the house.<\/p>\n

Addressing the opposition, the chief minister urged them to \u201chave patience\u201d and directed staff to provide water to protesting members during the proceedings.<\/p>\n

He also reiterated his party\u2019s stance that the PTI founder should receive treatment at a better medical facility and that meetings with him should be restored. Afridi added that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have reaffirmed their trust in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf for a third consecutive term.<\/p>\n

The session was also attended by former chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur along with other disgruntled lawmakers. Due to the protest, proceedings remained disrupted for a considerable time, while the budget debate is scheduled to continue in the next sitting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
