Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar said on Friday that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial government was "deliberately evading" its constitutional duty to maintain law and order, accusing the provincial administration of failing to meet its responsibilities.
Tarar's remarks add to ongoing friction between the federal government and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administration over security and governance issues in the province, which has faced persistent challenges related to law and order in recent years.
Federal-provincial tensions
The minister's comments reflect a broader pattern of criticism directed at the KP government from federal officials, who have periodically accused provincial authorities of not doing enough to address security concerns within their jurisdiction. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has not yet publicly responded to Tarar's latest remarks.
The exchange underscores the continued political tension between the federal government and the province, as questions over responsibility for maintaining order in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa remain a recurring point of contention between the two levels of government.
