Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari said on Monday that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s statement regarding terrorism from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Punjab has been taken out of context, the private media outlet reported.
Azma Bukhari also criticised the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sohail Afridi, for demanding an apology for a chauvinist statement by the CM Punjab. Azma Bukhari said, “The KP government always disrespected Pashtuns for not providing better facilities, including education and infrastructure in the province.”
Azma Bukhari also asked, “In which capacity is Sohail Afridi demanding an apology?”
Earlier, CM Punjab Maryam Nawaz said while speaking to journalists, “Unfortunately, I feel less threatened by my neighbouring country but more threatened by my neighbouring province as terrorism enters from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Punjab.”

Speaking to the media, Bukhari asked where the YouTubers who previously criticised the use of government aircraft were now.
She questioned how much the chartered flight would cost the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, claiming that the provincial government was struggling to pay salaries while the chief minister was travelling.
