Agreement details and withdrawal claim

Naqvi stated the province had agreed to sign a written agreement and submit an implementation plan within 72 hours. He said the KP administration withdrew from these commitments during last night's talks. The proposed terms included reconsidering the Police Act 2026 and preventing terrorists from finding safe havens.

Specific policy points discussed

The agreement also covered support for the national policy on Afghan refugees and repatriation efforts. It called for substantial funding for counterterrorism operations and full provincial ownership of security measures. Naqvi emphasized that security must not be politicised while the province is at war.
