PESHAWAR: Sardar Mehtab Khan Abbasi, who took oath as the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Tuesday, has said there is no harm in granting amnesty to militants if they submit to the Constitution.
Talking to journalists at the Governor’s House, Sardar Mehtab said people involved in militancy had become hostage to the situation and their families were facing severe hardship. Many of them might be fed up with the situations, but were not able to find a way out, he added.
“I think the government should grant a general pardon,” the governor said.
Peshawar High Court Chief Justice Mazhar Alam Miankhel administered the oath to Sardar Mehtab who is politically affiliated with the PML-N.
