CM KPK removes three top ministers on corruption moves

PESHAWAR: Following the firm orders of the PTI chief Imran Khan, the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) took immediate action against corrupt lawmakers on Wednesday.

Chief Minister Pervez Khattak has removed three senior ministers including Bakht Bedar, Abrar Hussain and Yousuf Ayub from their posts over having firm evidences of corruption and fake degree, governmental sources said.

According to sources, Bakht Bedar and Abrar Hussain was affiliated with the coalition political party, Qaumi Watan Party (QWP), while Yousuf Ayub was elected on the platform of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

It should be mentioned that Yousuf Ayub had recently been declared ineligible on his post by the Supreme Court of Pakistan on holding fake degree.
