  "account": "Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi urged the provincial government to cancel a planned long march to Islamabad, claiming the ground reality is not in favor of the protest. He alleged that some individuals are in hiding or have opted for voluntary arrests to avoid participation. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced the march would take place on October 4 instead of the originally scheduled date of September 27. Kundi accused the PTI-led government of diverting resources towards the march. He emphasized that the police should not be used for political purposes and criticized the proposed K-P police law for giving the government excessive control over the police department.",
