“We will not allow unpatriotic politicians to continue playing filthy games capable of pulling back efforts by the State Government and Security Agencies in the fights against lingering security challenges.
“The relative peace enjoyed in our state is still on fragile plate, therefore can not fold arms to continue watching people hiding under politics with a view to turn our state a lawless society”, Nasiha has warned.
