He said in an interview that during his time in office, a coordinated strategy among the security forces and the local population greatly weakened terrorist groups across KP. “When I came into power, terrorists were roaming around freely in most areas of the province, but during my tenure, most of these areas were cleared.”

The former chief minister expressed concern that the security situation has started deteriorating again in some regions of the KP. “The situation in certain areas is worsening now,” he said, adding that with timely and collective efforts, peace could once again be restored.
