What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi stated that the federal government's counterterrorism policy, implemented for 22 years, has failed to establish lasting peace in the province. Afridi called for a major policy shift, arguing that merely providing additional resources would not solve the crisis and that provincial stakeholders must be consulted. Federal ministers Attaullah Tarar and Talal Chaudhry had previously criticized the provincial government's counterterrorism response.
