Interior Minister Naqvi criticises KP law requiring speaker's permission for MPA arrests
Most outlets reported that Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi criticised a proposed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police law requiring police to obtain the provincial assembly Speaker’s permission before arresting a member of the provincial assembly (MPA). Several outlets highlighted Naqvi’s questioning of the law’s practicality, such as Daily Pakistan quoting him asking, “Will police need Speaker’s permission if MPA kills someone?” Dawn uniquely noted Naqvi’s reference to the PTI's “version of equality before law,” framing the issue in terms of political intent. Other outlets, like Geo News and Minute Mirror, focused more on the procedural criticism without explicitly linking it to political motivations.
