  "account": "Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Muhammad Sohail Afridi paid a visit to Dera Ismail Khan recently, where he stopped by the hospital to check on the well-being of those injured in a recent terrorist attack on Aman Mela Check Post. His visit was also attended by a former Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sardar Ali Amin Khan Gandapur.\n\nUpon arriving at Al-Amin House for a press conference, the Chief Minister expressed his deep sorrow over the incident, calling it a tragic and condemnable act that resulted in the loss of innocent lives. He urged that all statements and positions taken following the regime change operation should be reviewed.\n\nAddressing the issue of terrorism, the Chief Minister highlighted that his government had previously conducted numerous protests and warned the public about the rise of terrorism. He accused the present rulers of lying and spreading propaganda, stating that they were the ones imposing terrorism on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Chief Minister also pointed out that the threat was not to them, but to him, his people, and the province.\n\nHe highlighted that the burden of terrorism wasn't only borne by the youth of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but also by soldiers serving from across Pakistan, police personnel, and ordinary civilians. He emphasized that every person, irrespective of their province, sect, or uniform, was part of the same society.\n\nThe Chief Minister also criticized policies that harmed the people and Pakistan, stating that his opposition to such policies was not dependent on any seat or position. He noted that the statements from representatives of the federal government and those imposed in Punjab were enough to demonstrate their seriousness. He also mentioned statements from the Punjab Chief Minister and a Punjab minister about the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa being terrorists, which were made on television.\n\nIn contrast, the seriousness of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government was evident from its actions. Right after coming into power, the government cut its development budget and allocated Rs 35 billion for peace and security. Additionally, Rs191.4 billion was allocated for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police in the fiscal year 2026-27, which is 103 percent higher than the previous year, to strengthen their infrastructure and capacity.\n\nThe Chief Minister also criticized the federal government and its institutions for not providing the required equipment to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, such as Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) APCs and funds for the National Radio and Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC). He also criticized those appearing on television and lecturing others, saying they should first examine the policies that led to the return of terrorism.",
