Ongoing Regional Tensions and Criticism
While Punjab ramps up its efforts, other regions are grappling with criticism over their handling of the escalating tensions in Kurram. Adviser to the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister on Information, Barrister Dr. Saif, questioned the federal government’s approach, accusing it of negligence.
