A few days ago, the federal government of Pakistan overthrew the state government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and imposed governor's rule.

However, critics disagree with this position and say that the move is aimed at establishing federal control over the mineral resources of the province and security is being presented as a mere justification.

After the imposition of governor's rule, JUI(F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rahman alleged in a press conference that the move was aimed at establishing federal control over the mineral resources of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Apart from this, PTI and ANP leaders are also terming this decision as an attempt to gain control over the mineral resources of the province.

It is also significant that the Mines and Minerals Bill was introduced in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly in April 2025, which the PTI, ANP and JUI(F) members of the assembly described as an attempt to increase the federal government's control over the province's mineral resources. However, this bill could not be passed.
