Condemning the incident in strong terms, MNA Junaid Akbar Khan said in a statement posted on the social media platform X that the alleged enforced disappearance of MNA Fazal Muhammad Khan is extremely alarming, and such actions will further widen the distance and mistrust between the people of the province and the state. He urged the authorities, “For God’s sake, do not turn Khyber Pakhtunkhwa into Balochistan,” and called for an immediate end to such unconstitutional and illegal conduct.
