ISLAMABAD:A proposal has emerged within the federal cabinet to give the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government another opportunity to play an effective role in the fight against terrorism, according to sources.

According to sources, a proposal was also discussed to assign Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman the task of holding talks with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government.

The proposed initiative aims to persuade the provincial administration to work alongside the federal government in the fight against terrorism and take effective measures to improve the security situation.

The proposal comes amid ongoing consultations at the federal level over law and order in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and a reported increase in terrorist incidents.

The suggestions remain subject to further deliberation, and no official confirmation of a final decision has been provided in the report.
