Gandapur decries false allegations, warns hypocrites within PTI over propaganda
- “You are harming the party,” says KP CM Gandapur.
- CM says some people were working on agenda in party.
- Gandapur blames political propaganda for loss.
ISLAMABAD: Admitting that there were hypocrites within the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has warned them against harming the party, The News reported on Wednesday.
“I am warning them that you are harming the party, our first goal is to unite and protect the country and the Constitution,” Gandapur said while speaking to the media outside Rawalpindi’s Adial Jail. He added that some people in the party were working on an agenda.
Regretting that meetings were hindered due to internal divisions in the party, the CM said that “false allegations and political propaganda are the cause of our loss”.
The firebrand PTI leader’s remarks come days after he admitted tensions and groupings exist within the former ruling party — but firmly denied creating them himself.
He alleged that instead of participating, his critics would only level accusations against him. He also criticised those who limit activism to social media, remarking that revolutions are not achieved through short videos or fake accounts.
Meanwhile, speaking to the media a day earlier, the CM higlihgted his efforts for the incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan and said: “No one has made as much efforts as I have to bring the PTI founder out [of jail], big marches and rallies in the country’s history have been held [but] can anyone fight the state”.
Expanding on the issue of negotiations, he reiterated the PTI founder’s stance where he has said that: “If you are ready for negotiations, then sit down and talk, the talk will be with the one who has the authority, our government was overthrown, were Afghan refugees responsible for this? We are trying in our province to send Afghan refugees back with honour and tradition.”
Gandapur’s remarks come against the backdrop of persisting legal and political woes of the PTI whose senior leadership, including Shah Mahmood Qureshi has been behind bars owing to a plethora of cases, primarily conerning the May 9 riots which saw miltiary installations being vandalised by mobs following Khan’s arrest in 2023.
The party, has attempted to hold public rallies and initiate movements but has been met with crackdown and mass arrests.
The PTI lawmakers have recently been resigning from various parliamentary committees from both the National Assembly and the Senate as part of the PTI founder’s political strategy to build political pressure.

Dave Chappelle drops Netflix special, ‘Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable…’
Dave Chappelle surprised fans Friday night with a new Netflix stand-up special, Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable…, filmed in Washington, D.C., and released without warning following the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight.
Taking the stage in a camo jacket featuring Colin Kaepernick’s name and number, Chappelle told the crowd, “We’ve got a lot to talk about,” explaining he returned home after Trump deployed the National Guard to the city.
“They’re trying to take the chocolate out of Chocolate City… I’ve got to go home while it’s still a city I remember,” he said.
Chappelle also addressed backlash over his appearance at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, saying, “I’ve been getting a lot of grief,” before singling out Bill Maher: “I’ve never said this publicly but fuck that guy. I’m so fucking tired of his little smug, cracker-ass commentary.”
“I don’t feel guilty at all,” Chappelle said, adding that critics accused him of betraying his principles. He reiterated, “it’s easier to talk in Saudi Arabia for me than it is in America,” and joked, “transgender jokes went over very well in Saudi Arabia.”
The comedian later discussed reports surrounding Charlie Kirk, saying, “if you talk for a living and see Charlie Kirk get murdered that way, I’m gonna be honest, I was shook,” adding, “I was at home like, ‘Oh no! I’m dead as fried chicken.’”
Chappelle also reflected on Sean Combs’ sentencing, noting, “He saved my life,” and said of Cassie, “God bless her… what she went through was terrible.”
He closed by telling the crowd, “we are a community and we will stay sane together.”

David and Victoria Beckham unfollow Brooklyn on Instagram
David and Victoria Beckham are no longer following their estranged son, Brooklyn, on Instagram after he decided to spend Christmas with his wife, Nicola Peltz.
The heartbroken parents, who are said to feeling their eldest son’s absence more than as ever as Christmas approaches, have removed him from their following list.
Brooklyn, 26, is also no longer following his mother and father on the picture-based sharing platform.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn’s wife Nicola, 30, does not follow David and Victoria either and they no longer follow her.
The move comes after Brooklyn’s friends told DailyMail in July that his brothers Cruz and Romeo had blocked both him and his wife Nicola on the social media platform.
Despite several reconciliation attempts from Sir David and his brother Cruz, the aspiring chef will celebrate the festive period with actress Nicola’s billionaire parents Nelson and Claudia, who are said to be ‘excited’ to have him.
A source said: ‘Brooklyn and Nicola decided they would be spending this Christmas with her family. Her parents are really excited to have them.’
Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, arrived in Miami, Florida, earlier this week.

Wayne Lineker breaks silence from hospital bed ahead of lonely Christmas
Wayne Lineker shared a worrying health update from hospital as he continued to recover from a life threatening illness that almost killed him.
The Ibiza club owner and reality TV star revealed that he could be forced to spend this Christmas alone if his condition does not improve at all.
The 63 year old was rushed to the hospital earlier this month and was later treated in good care.
Doctors diagnosed him with extremely dangerous pneumonia, an infection that left him unable to walk and struggle to breathe.
From his hospital bed, Wayne told fans that he is still undergoing treatment and might now go for a major surgery.
“I know I look a bit rough,” he said, before adding, “But, I’ve been through a lot this past couple of days.”
He also explained that parts of his lungs are not clearing properly despite medication.
“Parts of my lungs, weren’t clearing of the phlegm, and were very stubborn,” Wayne shared.
However, doctors asked him to do breathing exercises daily, well hourly, and to stay active around his room.
Wayne said he is currently on strong antibiotics but warned the surgery could happen soon if there is no such improvement.
“It’s a keyhole surgery and then they’ll go in and do what’s called a washout, and wash my lungs out and hopefully that will be the end of it,” he explained.
“It will be touch and go whether I’ll be going home for Christmas,” Wayne added. “There’s your update. Thanks guys.”
