Kundi said that the sacrifices of Pakistan\u2019s security personnel in maintaining peace and protecting citizens were commendable. He noted that collective efforts and intelligence based operations were essential to sustain law and order, particularly in sensitive areas of the province. \u201cWithout intelligence-based operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, peace cannot be established,\u201d he added. He further said that peace and stability can only be achieved through coordinated efforts among security agencies, government institutions, and the public. He added that those acting outside the framework of the law must be dealt with according to the Constitution to preserve national security and public safety. Talking about the PTI\u2019s call of protest, the governor said peaceful demonstrations were a democratic right but warned that marching on Islamabad or staging sit-ins was not the appropriate method.
