Pak PM Khan, defence minister exchange heated words over neglect of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and Defence Minister Pervez Khattak had a heated exchange of words when the latter said he would not vote for him and complained about the neglect of the north western Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province by the government, according to a media report on Friday.

The incident occurred on Thursday during a meeting of the parliamentary party of the ruling alliance, presided over by Prime Minister Khan, at the Parliament House, the Dawn newspaper reported.

The defence minister, while attending the meeting to clear a controversial Supplementary Finance Bill-2022, commonly called mini-budget, reportedly said that he would not vote for the prime minister, Khan, if new gas connections were not given to the people of the less developed province.

Khattak was elected to the National Assembly from Nowshera-I of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province.
