ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry on Wednesday said the imposition of governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was intended to address the deteriorating security situation, eliminate terrorism and restore lasting peace in the province.
Speaking to a private television channel, the minister attributed the move to what he termed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government’s failure to adopt an effective policy against terrorism.
He said the federal government was taking all possible measures to root out terrorism and ensure sustainable peace in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Responding to questions about the treatment of PTI founder Imran Khan, Chaudhry said all necessary medical facilities were being provided to him.
He maintained that any decision regarding relief for the former prime minister would rest with the courts, which would determine the matter in light of the cases pending against him.
The minister also called on PTI to review its political approach and refrain from confrontation with national institutions, urging the party to adopt a more constructive course.
On governance in Punjab, Chaudhry said the provincial chief minister was taking steps to improve administrative efficiency and strengthen governance across the province.
