description: "Most outlets reported that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi condemned Governor Faisal Karim Kundi for convening what he called \"unconstitutional\" meetings. Several also noted Afridi's claim that the meetings were an \"assault on democracy\" or an \"attack on democracy.\" The Nation added that Afridi's remarks followed a \"rare high-level meeting\" and directed criticism at the PPP, though other outlets did not mention the political party. Overall, the framing was consistent in highlighting the constitutional dispute, though the Nation provided additional context about the meeting's nature and political implications."
