AP: Islamabad says the suspended KP government aided the TTP
AP reports ministers accused Imran Khan’s party of working “hand in glove” with the Pakistani Taliban in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and that Sohail Afridi is in custody.
AP reported on Monday that the federal government accused the PTI administration in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of working “hand in glove” with the Pakistani Taliban.
AP quoted the information minister accusing Chief Minister Sohail Afridi of facilitating the TTP, and alleging that militants gave Khan’s supporters safe passage near the Afghan border last week.
AP quoted Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar saying the provincial government had been suspended for at least six months, with no date for lifting the emergency, and that talks had been exhausted.
Article 234, as already reported from the proclamation, runs for two months unless a joint sitting extends it. Six months is the maximum, not a minimum.
