   Interior Minister Naqvi blames KP CM for collapse of government-PTI talks

   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.

   Interior Minister says KP government backed out of counterterrorism deal

   Most outlets reported that Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi stated the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government had backed out of counterterrorism commitments during the final phase of negotiations. While several described the agreement as having been close to being signed, with the provincial government having agreed to a written deal and a 72-hour implementation plan, BOL News stood out by adding that Naqvi warned KP is "in a state of war" after the deal collapsed. Other outlets, such as Pakistan Observer and Geo News, noted the PTI-backed nature of the KP government, but this framing was not present in all excerpts.
