Home Peace cannot be achieved through military operations alone, says K-P CM at Karachi Press Club Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi reiterated his opposition to any form of military operation in the province, saying peace could not be restored through force alone. He stressed the need for a joint approach involving the federal and K-P governments, political parties and security institutions. Afridi arrived at the Karachi Press Club in the form of a rally under strict security arrangements, with a heavy police contingent deployed. Traffic congestion was reported on surrounding roads, while The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers raised slogans demanding the release of the party’s founder. Addressing a 'Meet the Press' programme at the Karachi Press Club on Friday, Afridi said his government opposed not only the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) but all terrorist organisations. However, he said that military operations could not bring peace, adding that more than 14,000 military operations had already been conducted in the province, with reports of 15 more being planned, yet millions had been displaced and compensation promised had not been delivered.
