Speaker KP assembly affirms support for armed forces, calls for peace in region

PESHAWAR, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 27th Feb, 2026) Speaker of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Babar Saleem Swati on Friday reaffirmed full support for the

Pakistan Armed Forces and national defenders, stressing unity at a critical time for the country.

In a statement, he emphasized that Pakistan desired peace, stability, and brotherly relations in the region.

However, he made it clear that if Pakistan’s sovereignty and security were threatened, the state reserved

the complete right to defend itself.

The Speaker said that the tension between two Muslim countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan, during the

holy month of Ramazan was deeply regrettable.

Swati said that political differences had their place, but when it came to the survival and integrity of the

homeland, the entire nation stood united.

“We stand shoulder to shoulder with our Pakistan Armed Forces and national guardians,” he added.
