MNP – The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) provincial cabinet approved a state of emergency in the districts of Kurram and Khyber due to the prevailing security situation.

Addressing the cabinet, CM Gandapur claimed that the conflict in Kurram was not a case of terrorism but a clash between two groups. He expressed concern over the spread of sectarian hatred, accusing certain elements of fabricating false narratives to escalate tensions.
“The people of the area want peace, but some elements are trying to spoil the situation through sectarian hatred,” he remarked, adding that these elements are creating false narratives to distort the issue.
