Last week, Barrister Saif said that the PTI founder has no objection to action against militants in the province. In an exclusive interview, Barrister Saif confirmed that the military is not carrying out any operation in the province.

He asserted that the fight against terrorism is a collective responsibility, adding that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder has never opposed counter-terrorism actions.

“The founder’s policy has always been clear: there must be no compromise or relief for terrorists,” Barrister Saif stated.
