title: "Interior Minister Naqvi blames KP CM for collapse of government-PTI talks"
description: "Most outlets reported that Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi accused Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi of sabotaging or derailing government-PTI negotiations, which had reportedly reached a \"win-win\" or near-agreement stage. Several outlets, including 24 News HD and Daily Times, noted that the collapse occurred amid PTI's long march in Islamabad. A few, such as 24 News HD and Daily Pakistan, mentioned that both sides had previously reached a promising or near-complete agreement. While the framing of the accusations was largely consistent, some outlets like BOL News used the term \"derailed\" instead of \"sabotaged,\" and 24 News HD explicitly linked the collapse to the PTI march."
