  "account": "Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi recently criticized a political party chief over his opposition to the imposition of governor's rule in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), accusing him of being \"extremely angry\" that he was not given a role or offered the governorship. In an informal conversation with journalists in Lahore, Naqvi stated that the politician had spent decades in politics with the establishment's support. This same politician, who used to have his party's air tickets arranged through the establishment, now criticizes the government's decision, Naqvi said. Naqvi urged political leaders to focus on restoring law and order and eliminating terrorism, rather than engaging in political confrontation. This comes after the federal government imposed an emergency and governor's rule in K-P on Sunday, dismissing the PTI-led provincial government. Opposition parties, including JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, criticized the move, with Fazl accusing the government of reneging on previous agreements during negotiations.",
