Prime Minister Imran Khan ordered Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Chief Minister Mahmood Khan to remove provincial law minister Sultan Muhammad Khan after a video of an alleged horse-trading involving ruling PTI lawmakers surfaced on Tuesday.

In a tweet from his official handle, PM’s aide on political communication Shehbaz Gill said Premier Imran has directed Chief Minister Mahmood Khan to remove the minister from his post and also hold an inquiry into the matter and submit report at the earliest, the Tribune reported. 

The video shows a handing of large sums of money, reportedly Rs20 million, to various provincial lawmakers belonging to the ruling PTI and others.
