Speaking in the National Assembly, Khawaja Asif highlighted the ongoing losses to the country and its people due to political turmoil. Referring to the situation in Parachinar, he stated, “Incidents like these are also contributing factors.”
Khawaja Asif criticized the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s PTI government, saying, “How can such a major incident occur in your province, and you remain inactive? I was told by Mahmood Khan that the issue in Parachinar started as a land dispute, but it escalated into sectarian violence, resulting in significant loss of lives.”
