Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi announced on Monday that the province's policies will now come from Islamabad, not Kabul, following the imposition of governor's rule and emergency in the region. Kundi stated that "gone are the days when there was no coordination between the Centre and the province," emphasizing the importance of cooperation between federal and provincial authorities.
He pledged enhanced support for the province's law enforcers, pledging a pay raise and an assurance that their salaries would no longer be the lowest in the country. Kundi also addressed the ongoing strike by young doctors and university staff, urging them to end their protests and assuring that their concerns would be resolved.
He criticized the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for "fighting their case" with the Centre, stating that the government would handle disputes through arguments rather than abusive language. Kundi thanked the public for rejecting the ongoing circus and emphasized that the fight against terrorism would be the first priority of the new setup, with development as the second.
