Chief Minister Sohail Afridi visited Dera Ismail Khan, accompanied by Ali Amin Khan Gandapur, on an occasion. The visit occurred following a deadly gun-and-bomb attack in Darazinda, which killed a minimum of twelve people.
During the visit, Chief Minister Sohail Afridi asserted that establishing peace requires gaining the confidence of the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Furthermore, the Chief Minister expressed concern regarding the central government's failure to supply modern weaponry and necessary equipment.
Federal ministers also criticised the PTI government for allegedly failing to furnish the security forces with requisite leadership, resources, or power. The Minister of State for Interior claimed that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's incompetent leadership was the root cause of Pakistan's terrorism problem.
Accusations were also made by the state minister, who suggested the provincial government maintained an overly lenient stance concerning Afghanistan. Moreover, the Information Minister branded the PTI as the 'B team' of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
The Information Minister further stated that individuals must decide whether their allegiance lies with Pakistan or with Afghanistan.
