Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi on Thursday expressed grave concerns over the deteriorating security situation in the province and announced to convene All-Parties Conference (APC) in early December to address security and governance issues in the province.
\nIn a video message released here by the Governor Secretariat, he criticized the provincial government over its negligence in addressing the issues.
\nGovernor recalled that he repeatedly took up the KP\u2019s issues with the Prime Minister and the President but unfortunately the provincial government had failed to take meaningful steps to ensure the safety of its citizens.
\n\u201cThey are busy in organizing protests in Islamabad or seeking the release of their party\u2019s founder, while the province is left at the mercy of terrorists. The government has completely failed to protect the lives and property of the people,\u201d he said.
\nHe said the APC would bring together all political parties in the province to discuss solutions for security challenges, resource allocation, and KP\u2019s issues with the federal government.
\nThe Governor emphasized the need for unity among political forces to address these crises.
\n\u201cWe will present KP\u2019s case to the federal government with reason and evidence,\u201d he said, calling on all provincial party leaders, including the Chief Minister, to participate in the meeting.
\nKundi also pointed to the alarming increase in violence, with daily reports of attacks on soldiers, FC personnel, and civilians.
\n\u201cThe silence of the provincial government on this unrest is criminal. No cabinet meetings have been held, nor has the provincial assembly been convened to address the issue,\u201d he remarked.
\nThe Governor criticized KP CM Ali Ameen Gandapur for contradictory statements, noting that, while earlier demanding the withdrawal of the military from KP, the same leadership now speaks of negotiating with Afghanistan.
\n\u201cIf the military withdraws from our province, we cannot counter terrorism. Our police are brave, but they lack the resources that the military possesses,\u201d he noted.
\nComparing KP to other provinces, the Governor highlighted how Sindh, Balochistan, and Punjab are progressing with development projects, while KP struggles with protests, state opposition, and poor governance.
\nGovernor urged the federal government to take a firm stance and enforce the law if the provincial government continues to misuse resources or undermine state institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
