Naqvi assails PTI's 'version of equality'

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Saturday took strong exception to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government's attempt to further solidify legislation mandating the assembly speaker's prior permission for an MPA's arrest or detention.

In a post on X, Naqvi shared a KP Assembly Secretariat's letter addressed to the KP inspector general (IG) on Friday, a day after the provincial cabinet approved the KP Police Act 2026.

The proposed law, yet to be passed by the assembly, links the IG's decisions to the chief minister or the government's approval.
