title: "Attaullah Tarar accuses PTI of facilitating terrorism in KP"
description: "Most outlets reported that Information Minister Attaullah Tarar accused the PTI of acting as the TTP’s “B team” and facilitating terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while also criticising the party’s governance and security record. Some, like The Nation and Associated Press of Pakistan, added context about political agitation and the release of PTI’s incarcerated leader, whereas others, such as 24 News HD and Business Recorder, focused more directly on the alleged facilitation of militants. The Daily Times led with the claim about rising terrorism in KP, while Aaj News and the Business Recorder used similar phrasing to highlight governance failures."
