ISLAMABAD: Editor-in-Chief Pakistan Group of Newspapers and Chairman Roze News SK Niazi, while talking in his renowned talk show Sachi Baat, said that the situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa would improve and terrorism would be controlled. He said terrorism was being spread from Afghanistan to Pakistan, while controlling terrorism is essential for national stability. He stressed that the establishment of new provinces could help resolve public problems, improve administration in remote areas and accelerate development. He also emphasised transparency in the use of resources and the importance of national interests.

Legal expert Talat Abbas Khan said effective measures were necessary to improve the country’s situation. He said all political parties wanted a role in national development, but practical steps and the prioritisation of national interests were essential. He stressed that political consensus was necessary for establishing new provinces and making Islamabad a separate administrative unit. He added that the situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had resulted from the PTI provincial leadership’s strategy and that recent measures should be reviewed to assess their effectiveness.

MNA PML-N Huma Akhtar Chughtai said the situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa would improve through effective administrative measures, regular committees and better coordination. She said commissioners would oversee development and counterterrorism matters, while improving police training, equipment and capacity was essential for restoring law and order. She added that establishing new provinces required proper planning, consultation with political parties and consideration of population and administrative needs. Dialogue was also necessary to address political differences and find better solutions.

PPP leader Qadir Mandokhel said Balochistan’s problems required serious attention and political leadership should play its role in resolving them. He stressed that facts must be established before making allegations against political leaders and that innocent people should not face unnecessary detention. Regarding new provinces, he said population, assembly seats, administrative needs and public facilities must be considered, while constitutional procedures and political consensus were essential. He also emphasised cooperation between the federal government and provincial leadership and urged all political parties to act responsibly in the current situation.
