AI Generated Summary

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has claimed that a political party chief is unhappy over being denied the position of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governor under the province’s new administrative arrangement. Although Naqvi did not identify the individual, his remarks appeared to refer to Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who has strongly criticised the federal government’s decision to impose governor’s rule in the province.

Speaking to journalists in Lahore on Friday, Naqvi alleged that the unnamed politician was disappointed at not receiving a role in the new setup in KP. He also accused the leader of relying on the establishment for political support over several decades.

The interior minister further alleged that the politician had previously depended on the establishment even to arrange air tickets for members of his party. He argued that political leaders who had benefited from the same system should present their criticism through facts and arguments rather than personal allegations or inappropriate language.
