Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar has accused the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) of being responsible for the rising terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. According to Tarar, the PTI allowed militants to settle in residential areas.
Tarar also alleged that the PTI is the "B team" of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and does not condemn terrorists. He claimed that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was once a peaceful region but has been pushed back into a state of insecurity under the current provincial government.

According to Business Recorder, Coordinator to PM Ikhtiar Wali Khan also alleged that corruption is on the rise in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with public funds being used for political and social media campaigns.
