Minister Amir Muqam criticized the PTI-led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government, asserting that the federal government is not in support of imposing governor's rule in the province. Muqam stated this while the PTI launched its long march towards Islamabad, vowing not to accept policies detrimental to KP's interests. Despite federal government warnings, the PTI proceeded with the march to demand the release of jailed party founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
During a press conference, Muqam criticized the incumbent KP government, saying it had "abandoned" the province and that security conditions were worsening. He argued that the provincial government had lost control of the situation and that politics could only continue if the province's writ remained intact. Muqam proposed that the provincial government and opposition should agree on terrorism as a common ground during their recent negotiations.
Muqam also pointed out the absence of the KP government in the province, criticizing Chief Minister Sohail Afridi for being preoccupied with his single-point agenda.
