Earlier, Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif questioned the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government for its failure to establish the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) despite receiving funds worth Rs590 billion during the last 14 years.

The prime minister highlighted that under the National Finance Commission (NFC) Award, an additional one percent share was allocated for the KP province just to augment its efforts against terrorism.

He said the last NFC Award was agreed upon in 2010 by the government of Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani when terrorism was at its peak and the KP province suffered the most, followed by Balochistan and other provinces.

PM Shehbaz Sharif said that KP people had been the frontline soldiers against terrorism which would always be remembered.
