Federal ministers and newly appointed provincial advisers were also present.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the committee, PM Shehbaz reiterated that emergency and governor\u2019s rule had to be imposed \u201cunder extreme compulsion\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI promise that we will leave no stone unturned in bringing back the happiness and era of progress to this province, and in the practical realisation of the wishes, aspirations, and dreams of this province\u2019s people that have been shattered due to the worst actions of recent years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister affirmed that the Centre \u201cwill place all possible resources at your feet\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He added that himself, the Advisory Council led by the governor, the president and the CDF \u201cwill ensure that this province, once again, not only matches the other provinces in the race for development, but I would be extremely happy if it moves even further ahead\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister regretted that \u201cterrorists were summoned back here\u201d after peace had been established, \u201cwashing down all sacrifices down the drain\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere can be no greater enmity with the country than not honouring and respecting such sacrifices, not holding them in esteem,\u201d he remarked, highlighting that young soldiers left their homes and families to defend their country.<\/p>\n<p>The premier called for an \u201call-encompassing analysis as to why this happened\u201d, adding that there was \u201cno worse callousness, criminal negligence, and hostility towards the national interest than this\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cAll issues of the people were pushed aside \u2014 whether it is education, healthcare, or protecting the lives and property of the people \u2014 and [having] matters with terrorists instead. I believe that no other example can be found of such hostility against the country, in terms of their attitudes, detachment, and callousness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>PM Shehbaz asserted that 5,000 police vacancies were not filled, Safe City projects were yet to be completed, the capacity of the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) had not been enhanced significantly, and neither were special measures taken regarding police training.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"media  w-full sm:w-1\/2  media--right  media--embed  media--uneven\" data-original-src=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/2028005\">\n<div class=\"media__item  media__item--newskitlink  \"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>He recalled that all provinces had agreed at the time of the 2010 National Finance Commission Award that KP, being the front-line region in combatting terrorism, needed ample resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom 2010 to today, more than Rs800 billion in funds have either already been provided or are being provided under this,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, not only did it resurface, but the weapons needed to counter terrorism, the required capacity, and the trained officers needed were nowhere to be found.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While saying he would not go into the details, the prime minister emphasised that he had assured the provincial governments of ex-chief ministers Ali Amin Gandapur and Sohail Afridi of the Centre\u2019s full support in the fight against terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut nothing was done regarding this,\u201d he regretted, adding that the government could not remain a \u201csilent spectator\u201d when a \u201cparty was stooping to such enmity against the country\u201d and the economy and society were being destroyed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"media  w-full  w-full  media--  media--embed  media--uneven media--tweet\" data-original-src=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GovtofPakistan\/status\/2113258076375831036\">\n<div class=\"media__item  media__item--twitter  \"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, on this occasion we made this one last effort,\u201d the premier said, referring to the province\u2019s interim handover to the federal government under governor\u2019s rule.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the Centre\u2019s efforts to stabilise the economy over the past two and a half years, PM Shehbaz remarked, \u201cIt wouldn\u2019t have been possible [without] unprecedented partnership between political and military hierarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the federal government could not remain a silent spectator when \u201cterrorists were roaming around dancing in all areas of KP, and were ruling over some areas in the evening, and collecting extortion\u201d at a time when the stabilisation of Pakistan\u2019s economy was being acknowledged globally.<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister recalled the breakdown of the Oct 3 talks between the Centre and reiterated that his government was \u201ccompelled to make this decision\u201d of imposing governor\u2019s rule.<\/p>\n<p>PM Shehbaz remarked that the province was \u201cshattered with wounds due to the circumstances created in the past several years\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted the poor law and order situation over the past six years, recalling that security forces and law enforcement agencies had made sacrifices to establish peace in KP.<\/p>\n<p>The premier said there was corruption of Rs100bn in the clean drinking water of the Cities Improvement Project and Rs37bn in the \u201cinfamous looting\u201d in the case of the Kohistan District Accounts Office.<\/p>\n<p>He said that \u201c80,000 people were martyred and the [economy] suffered a loss of several hundred billion dollars.
