The Punjab government abets terror by allowing pro-militant seminaries to operate unhindered, alleged Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Governor Barrister Masood Kausar on Saturday.
The governor stated that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) had confronted several conspiracies hatched against it and was overwhelmed by the apex courts’ recent decision in the Asghar Khan case for identifying all those involved in corrupt practices.
While distributing money, meat and sweets among the province’s flood victims, Kausar also lauded Turkey’s efforts in helping Pakistan at different occasions by saying that Pakistan and Turkey enjoyed great relations and were sisters, adding that Turkey has always been the first one to rescue Pakistan in crisis.

Mister governor can visit any part of punjab, but only peshawar in K-P .. still roots in punjab ?
I have many Pukhtoon friends and unfortunately I have seen blaming is a part of their culture. They blame Punjabis for their own Short comings and it is not a new thing. It is the mindset of the KPK that is promoting terrorism not the other other way around. Just tell me how many women from KPK you will see as working women or non Burqa clad??.Is Punjab is forcing KPK women to wear Burqa and dont get education and dont do any work??? In villages of Punjab you will see our women working side by side with us with less than 5 percent wearing Burqa and they are the most educated now a days. But tell me what is the literacy in the Pushtoon belt in terms of Women literacy???. Why less than 1 percent women in KPK are a part of work force.?? Punjab have never seen Wahabism before but thanks to Mullahs from KPK coming in all parts of Punjab our population is being radicalized and look at our history of tolerance and then compare with yours and then talk something else.
Governor is not wrong in his assessment. The fountain head is located in central Punjab.
