PESHAWAR: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Additional Secretary Information in in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Arbab Khizar Hayat on Thursday claimed that a \u201cmajor change\u201d was expected in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa within the next 24 hours, saying Chief Minister Sohail Afridi would no longer remain in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe preparations from the federal government\u2019s side have been completed,\u201d Hayat said while addressing a press conference in Peshawar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His remarks came amid heightened tensions between the federal and PTI-led provincial governments over law and order in the province and the PTI\u2019s planned October 4 long march on Islamabad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The federal government has recently warned that governor\u2019s rule<\/a> or an emergency could be imposed in KP, while the provincial government has rejected the possibility and vowed to proceed with the planned march.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Earlier on Wednesday, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said<\/a> that the federal government was \u201cseriously considering\u201d imposing an emergency in the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi earlier warned the provincial government against creating a situation that could lead to extraordinary constitutional measures, while federal ministers<\/a> have cited security concerns and alleged lack of cooperation from the provincial government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sohai Afridi has rejected the warnings and said<\/a> the October 4 march would go ahead, while PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan has urged<\/a> the federal government not to impose governor\u2019s rule or emergency in the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hayat questioned what the people of KP had gained during the PTI\u2019s two-and-a-half-year tenure this time around, saying the province continued to face serious security and governance challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said that the deteriorating security situation and loss of life in terrorist attacks were alarming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Hayat, 44 suicide attacks were reported in the province during the past two-and-a-half years, including 15 in 2024, 18 in 2025 and 11 up to September this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said police came under 536 attacks during the period, while security personnel had made sacrifices in the line of duty. He claimed that the police had successfully foiled 324 terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hayat also cited the Auditor General of Pakistan\u2019s report, claiming that it had identified financial irregularities amounting to Rs551 billion in KP government accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said the provincial government should give the public a complete explanation regarding its financial affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe government should tell the people how much money has been recovered and what action has been taken against those responsible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hayat said the province\u2019s problems were not limited to terrorism, but also included challenges relating to health, education, employment and basic public services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He called on the provincial government to present a comprehensive performance report before the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He also sought details of progress on the Rs100 billion plan for Peshawar, saying the people should be informed about its implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAccountability of the government is not a political slogan; it is a demand of the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hayat also claimed that the PTI would not be able to reach Islamabad despite its October 4 long march call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The PTI had originally announced the march for September 27 before rescheduling it for October 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The march was planned from Peshawar to Islamabad as a political demonstration in support of the party\u2019s objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hayat further said that the \u201cpolitical future\u201d of KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi had ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PAK SOUCH MEDIA GROUP<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daily Pak Souch Newspaper Sukkur \u2013 Daily Pak Special Newspaper Karachi \u2013 Daily Pak Today Newspaper Karachi – Daily Pak Jazbo Newspaper Sukkur<\/p>\n\n\n\n Head Office : Ayub Gate Shaikh Muhalla Near Rabbania Masjid Sukkur<\/p>\n\n\n\n Karachi Office : Office No. 1901-B, 19th Floor Saima Trade Tower (B) Block I.I Chandigarh Road Near Jung Press, Shaheen Complex & National Museum of Pakistan Karachi Sindh Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact : 03009319022<\/p>\n\n\n\n Website 1 : https:\/\/paksouch.com\/<\/a> PESHAWAR: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Additional Secretary Information in in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Arbab Khizar Hayat on Thursday claimed that a \u201cmajor change\u201d was expected in..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16983,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-67.png",800,947,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-67-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-67-253x300.png",253,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-67-768x909.png",768,909,true],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-67.png",800,947,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-67.png",800,947,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-67.png",800,947,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"Pakistan<\/a>","tag_info":"Pakistan","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16982"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16984,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16982\/revisions\/16984"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}PML-N questions PTI government\u2019s performance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
