  "account": "Defence Minister Khawaja Asif charged the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government on Friday, alleging the provincial administration had failed to combat terrorism. Defence spokesperson Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry read out a list of accusations during a press conference, accusing the K-P government of not doing enough to address militancy and strengthen police capacity. Asif demanded the K-P government come forward and strengthen the police, questioning their involvement with terrorists. He stated that the military spokesperson effectively presented a charge sheet against the K-P government, signaling that the current approach would no longer be tolerated. Asif emphasized the importance of politics, democracy, and the existence of both state and society. He challenged the K-P government's detachment and indifference towards the fight against terrorism. Asif noted that the terrorist group Fitna al-Khawarij and its supporters were operating against the Pakistani state, while the PTI advocated for engagement with the Afghan regime. He criticized the K-P Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and his party for not using the designation for the TTP as Fitna al-Khawarij, despite it being designated by the state. Asif questioned why the K-P government was not taking action to address militancy and strengthen the police force.",
