Naqvi says Centre tried to take KP govt on board in counterterror fight

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi stated on Sunday that the Centre had attempted to involve the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government in the counterterrorism efforts, sharing details of the communications between the two sides to resolve their differences. The press conference, attended by Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, and Minister of State for Interior Tallal Chaudhry, followed the Centre's imposition of emergency in KP due to the province's insufficient efforts to combat terrorism.

Naqvi emphasized that the goal was to collaborate with the KP government to combat terrorism, highlighting the ongoing tensions between the Centre and the PTI, which previously governed KP, primarily over counterterrorism policies.
