Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: Sanaullah cites 70% of militant groups
Rana Sanaullah said residents must either remove terrorists from populated areas or move aside, as emergency and governor's rule in the province has applied since October 11.
Rana Sanaullah warned of “collateral damage” in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa anti-terror operations if residents neither remove terrorists from populated areas nor move aside.
He claimed 70% of militant groups, each of three to 15 people, are in sensitive areas. This figure is his own claim and is not independently confirmed.
President Asif Ali Zardari imposed emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on October 11, on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s advice.
Sanaullah said terrorism could be eliminated within “weeks and months” and that the government expects PTI to cooperate.
Prime Minister Shehbaz said the emergency was imposed “under extreme compulsion”.
