Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has accused the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government of reneging on counterterrorism commitments during weekend talks. Naqvi, speaking via X, stated that despite the KP government's initial agreement to sign a written agreement and present an implementation plan within 72 hours, covering crucial counterterrorism measures, they later backed out.
The PTI had pledged to reconsider the Police Act 2026, prevent terrorists from operating freely, condemn the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other terrorist groups, support the national policy on Afghan refugees, refrain from contact with the interim Afghan government, provide substantial funding for counterterrorism operations and the police, and ensure full provincial ownership of counterterrorism measures.
Naqvi emphasized that security should not be politicized during the province's ongoing war, stating, "Security must not be politicized while the province is at war."
