Political Party Chief Upset Over Not Being Made Governor: Mohsin Naqvi

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has claimed that the head of a political party is deeply upset over not receiving a share in the proposed governor’s rule and not being appointed governor. He also spoke about the resources of the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and the security situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Speaking informally to journalists in Lahore, Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said the head of a political party was extremely unhappy over not being given a role in the proposed governor’s rule and not being appointed governor.

Without naming any political leader, Naqvi said the politician in question had relied on the establishment for decades to pursue his political career.

He remarked that some politicians had even relied on the establishment in the past to arrange air tickets for their party members. Such politicians, he said, were not in a position to point fingers at others today.

The interior minister said political differences were understandable, but discussions should be based on arguments and facts rather than abusive language and allegations.

Questions Over Former FATA Resources

Naqvi also questioned the positions taken by certain political leaders regarding the allocation of resources to the former FATA districts.

He said concerns were now being expressed over the resources allocated to these districts, but asked why the same leaders had remained silent for years when the former tribal districts were allegedly not receiving their rightful share.

He questioned why these politicians had not raised their voices for the rights of the people of the former FATA at the time.

According to Naqvi, the rights of the people and the fair distribution of resources must be kept above political interests.

Need for Peace and Stability

The federal interior minister said Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was currently facing serious security challenges.

In these circumstances, he said, political leaders should play their role in restoring law and order and eliminating terrorism instead of spreading unrest and discord.

According to Mohsin Naqvi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa needs peace, stability, and collective efforts rather than political confrontation.
