Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry on Wednesday criticised the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), saying there is no operation under way in Tirah Valley.
Expressing his thoughts, he said that whenever an operation is conducted, it is announced officially. Talal Chaudhry stated that PTI is engaging in negative politics over Tirah Valley. The minister said PTI is attempting to conceal its corruption, adding that the Kohistan scandal is before the entire nation.
He said that actions under the National Action Plan will continue.

Separately, earlier on Tuesday, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif had dismissed claims of a new military operation in Tirah Valley, saying recent population movement is a routine, weather-driven migration that is being wrongly portrayed as a crisis.
Addressing a joint press conference in Islamabad, Asif was joined by Federal Information Minister Atta Tarar and Coordinator Ikhtiar Wali. The ministers responded to reports about displacement in Tirah Valley and criticism of the federal government’s role.
