It is our national mood not to learn anything from hardships, trials, mistakes, or difficulties, the parties are acting following this mood, he said, adding that instead of dealing with terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, its government’s attack on the federation is worrying.

The federal government authorized the army’s deployment in D-Chowk Islamabad by invoking section 245 early Tuesday morning, following a violent demonstration by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) that crushed four ranger personnel beneath their vehicle in Islamabad.
The Ministry of Interior has issued a notification authorizing the army to help local authorities in maintaining law and order.
