Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the minister maintained that the entire PTI leadership is acting as &#8220;facilitators of terrorists.&#8221; He cited past statements of Imran Khan in which, according to him, the PTI founder referred to militants as \u201cgood people\u201d and advocated for their rehabilitation and resettlement. Tarar further claimed that during his tenure, Imran Khan brought militants back to the country, settled them safely, and provided them shelter. \u201cEven today, politics in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa revolves around these elements,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dunyanews.tv\/en\/Pakistan\/910834-meet-sohail-afridi--ptis-new-nominee-for-kp-cm\">Meet Sohail Afridi &#8211; PTI&#8217;s new nominee for KP CM<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGandapur was told to facilitate and fully support terrorists, but he could not deliver on this mission,\u201d said Tarar.

Tarar warned the KP government and PTI that national security policy is \u2013 and will remain \u2013 formulated in Islamabad, not Kabul. \u201cWe will not allow this to happen under any circumstances,\u201d he emphasised. He also criticised the PTI\u2019s rule in KP, stating that despite being in power for the last 12 years, the province remains plagued by terrorism. The information minister also lauded the sacrifices of Pakistan\u2019s security forces, saying their relentless efforts have prevented terrorists from gaining dominance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD(National Times)- Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar alleged that Imran Khan removed Ali Amin Gandapur from the coveted office of KP CM &#8220;for not effectively facilitating the terrorists.&#8221; He said that PTI founder has now named Sohail Afridi, &#8220;a terrorist sympathiser,&#8221; to head the province.
