Information Minister Attaullah Tarar has accused the PTI of colluding with anti-state elements in a “failed attempt” to damage national security.

Speaking to the media on Sunday, the minister said that individuals involved in maligning state institutions and those responsible for the May 9 incidents will be brought to justice.

Tarar said the administrative and governance “failures of the K-P government” have led to a surge in terrorism, while drug smuggling is allegedly being carried out under its supervision.

He added that the Pakistan Army has the full capability to respond to any act of aggression.
