Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met with President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday to discuss the country's security and political situation, attended by several key officials. The meeting comes amid ongoing disagreements between the federal government led by the PML-N and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government led by the PTI over counterterrorism policy and the exclusion of the latter from security decisions.
The PTI has criticized the KP government's efforts to combat terrorism and its stance on dialogue with the Afghan Taliban, while federal ministers have accused the PTI of staging a protest long march in KP despite warnings against it. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar also criticized the KP government for a "lack of governance" and alleged misuse of funds allocated under the National Finance Commission.
