DG ISPR Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry says KP govt aided facilitators
In a 30 October 2026 interview, Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said an unfit KP government had facilitated militants and that forces run about 200 intelligence-led raids a day.
Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s unfit and indifferent government was among terrorism facilitators.
He said a provincial facilitator who blocked counter-terrorism work is no longer there.
Security forces run about 200 intelligence-based operations a day in KP with police, the army and other agencies.
He said Afghanistan hosts militant leadership, training camps and launch pads, while some drivers of violence must also be tackled inside Pakistan.
