ISLAMABAD, Oct 04 (APP):Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Sunday said the leadership of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has been facilitating terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which has resulted in the rising challenges of security in the province.
In his statement on a social media platform, he said the nation would hold the KP government accountable for the martyrdom of several civilians and military personnel in the wake of terrorist activities in the province.
The defence minister said the PTI founder supported the settlement of those elements in KP who backed terrorism. His speeches in the National Assembly and the media’s record bear witness to this fact, he added.
He pointed out that every PTI chief minister, after losing power in the Centre attacked the federation.
He termed Islamabad as the symbol of federation’s unity and the identity of 250 million Pakistanis.
Khawaja Asif said the martyrs sacrificed their lives while safeguarding their homeland, and recalled the military operation last year that shattered the enemy’s arrogance.
The Pakistani nation and the valiant armed forces dare to confront any internal or external enemies.
