He said the more the military spoke against the PTI, the more it strengthened the party.

The minister questioned why the military’s spokesperson had never talked about the performance of the Special Investment Facilitation Council, which, he said, was headed by “their own men”.

“People in KP know everything. They ask why militants do not attack liquor shops, night clubs in Punjab and Sindh but mosques in KP,” he said.

Dr Ali wondered how militants continued to enter KP despite the border being fenced, maintained by the military and monitored through drone cameras.

He said that the military had shared details of the military offensives against militants.

The minister questioned why 4,000 militants couldn’t be eliminated after 21 major operations and 14,000 intelligence-based operations.

Treasury MPA Malik Adeel Iqbal said that he was astonished by large crowds at the PTI’s street movement in Hazara on Sunday and that the sudden surge in turnout was caused by the military spokesperson’s news conference against the party.

Opposition PPP member Ahmad Karim Kundi said that the law and order situation in the province had been discussed in detail during several assembly sittings and that a resolution was also adopted during a peace jirga.

He added that his party had been a major victim of militancy and that the province needed to move forward.
 
Mr Kundi said that the chief minister had never opposed military operations but wanted all stakeholders to be taken on board.

“The chief minister should call the prime minister and the interior minister, invite them and share the provincial government’s point of view,” he said.

Law minister Aftab Alam Afridi said that he appreciated Mr Kundi’s views but wondered why they should sit with what he termed an “illegitimate government”.

He said that militants were facilitated and transported, and that people in Tirah were forced to leave their homes.

The minister added that the security operation was aimed at belittling PTI founder Imran Khan and his workers.

“This house is empowered to make decisions regarding the province and its future,” he said.

Senate opp leader calls for parliamentary wisdom​


Senate chairman appoints Allama Raja Nasir Abbas; both sides welcome the move

ISLAMABAD: Within days of the appointment of the leader of the opposition in the National Assembly, the process was also completed in the Senate on Tuesday, where Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) chairman Allama Raja Nasir Abbas was officially notified for the post.

With leaders of the opposition now sitting in both the National Assembly and the Senate after a five-month gap, political analysts see the development as a "potential ice-breaker" between the treasury and opposition benches.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led opposition aims to use parliament to press its demands, while the ruling coalition hopes the appointments will prompt the opposition to move away from a strategy of agitation and disruption.

Abbas, a PTI-backed senator and vice chairman of Tehreek Tahafuz Aain-e-Pakistan (TTAP), had been nominated for the position by incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan in August. Abbas secured 22 votes out of the 32 opposition members in the upper house.
 
The position of opposition leader in the Senate had remained vacant since August 2025, when the then incumbent, PTI's Shibli Faraz, was disqualified by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) following his conviction in cases related to the May 9, 2023 violence.

Faraz had challenged the ECP notification in the Peshawar High Court (PHC), which initially granted a stay order, halting further action on his disqualification and the appointment of a new opposition leader.

Explaining the delay, Senate Chairman Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani told the house that the appointment had been stalled due to procedural reasons, institutional prudence and deference to judicial authority and the rule of law.
 
In his maiden speech as the opposition leader, Raja Nasir Abbas credited Imran Khan for his presence in the house, describing himself as a "loyal companion" of Khan, who would never compromise on principles or his oath. He claimed Khan enjoyed 90% public support.

"The country cannot progress if you keep a popular leader in jail," Abbas said, stressing that resolution of Khan's cases and his release were the only solution to the political crisis. He also called for opposition access to what he termed "political prisoners" to restore stability.

Describing the Constitution as a sacred social contract, Abbas said it bound the pillars of the state to non-interference. Without adherence to the law, he warned, society risked descending into a "jungle" marked by lawlessness and erosion of public trust.

He said national strength stemmed from justice and unity, tracing political instability to alleged rigging in the February 8, 2024 elections, suppression of peaceful protests, violence against TTAP members in Punjab, and displacement in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Tirah area.

Questioning whether terrorism could be eradicated without justice and local support, Abbas said economic and security challenges could not be resolved without ending the political deadlock and urged parliament to "exercise collective wisdom".

So a sticker on a door of a bathroom in Switzerland is evidence of IK's "reach"?

So was this put there by a world leader attending Davos, or by the temp hired to clean the bathroom?

In either case , IK's sticker on the door of a bathroom is not very impressive "reach", honestly.

Interesting that the names all sounded Caucasian, so there are probably another few layers behind these culprits yet to be unraveled.
