Mohsin Naqvi PTI Sit-in Statement Clarifies Focus on KP Security
Addressing reporters in Islamabad, the interior minister said the administration never opposed PTI's planned protest, pointing instead to worsening security in KP.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi stated the federal government had no objection to the PTI sit-in itself, emphasizing its concern was counterterrorism.
Naqvi revealed draft negotiation terms underwent four revisions, with contacts continuing late into the night before collapsing without a PTI response.
The minister pointed to acute insecurity in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where 518 police officers have been killed over the past 18 months.
Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar announced the invocation of constitutional emergency articles, leading to the imposition of Governor's Rule in KP.
