Pakistan Considers Governor's Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Amid Security ConcernsPreviousNext

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has questioned Pakistan's military strategy against terrorism, citing over 22 major and 14,000 minor operations without achieving lasting peace. He criticized closed-door security policies and called for a review of counterterrorism efforts amid ongoing violence, including a recent attack killing 12 people. Meanwhile, Pakistan's federal government is considering imposing Governor's Rule in the province due to escalating tensions with Afridi's PTI-led administration and concerns over security and governance.
