In a recent address in Syed Alian village, Dera Ismail Khan, Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ali Amin Gandapur, has stirred controversy with an unconventional and violent proposal on dealing with corruption within bureaucratic ranks.

Speaking to attendees, Gandapur said, “Crack open the head of the officers who ask for a bribe with a brick and then come to me instead of complaining about the bribe taker.”

Gandapur told the attendees to “announce that Ali Amin asked me to do so,” after the violent act.

He further went and said, “Tell the offspring of that officer that you have saved their father from hell.”

Gandapur’s remarks, delivered in a no-nonsense tone, urged citizens not to lodge complaints about bribery but instead to take direct action against the perpetrators.

CM KP emphasized that both the bribe-taker and the giver will be going to hell so the people should neither become hellish nor let him be.
