Minister accuses PTI of seeking to politicize police through proposed law changes
State Minister for Interior Talal Chaudhary criticized PTI's proposed amendments to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's police law.
Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhary accused the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) of seeking greater political control over institutions in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through proposed changes to the province's police law, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).
Speaking to a private television channel on Wednesday, Chaudhary alleged that the proposed legislation would grant the provincial government greater influence over police operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The minister's comments add to an ongoing political exchange between the federal government and PTI, which governs Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, over the direction of proposed reforms to provincial policing.
APP's report did not include a detailed response from PTI to the specific allegations, nor a full text of the proposed legislative amendments.
The dispute reflects broader tensions between the federal government and the PTI-led provincial administration over governance and institutional oversight in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
