Azma Bukhari, Punjab’s Information Minister, has gone on record to make damming allegations against the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government, focusing specifically on the KP House in Islamabad. While speaking to the media at Lahore High Court, she labeled the establishment as ‘a base of terrorists and disaster creators’. Her comments come amidst the increased hostility and political tussles between the various regions of Pakistan. All of these statements by Bukhari indicate to the extreme elements emerging within the population and the strains made by the verbal abuse.
Accusations Against Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur Azma Bukhari
Ali Amin Gandapur does not hold any particular allegiance to his party and nor does he require any opportunism. Instead, he stepped in further on Azma Bukhari’s inflammatory accusations of “fascist behaviour.” She did not hide from making allusions to threats forwarded by KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. Rather she justified, ‘dooros harakat ki zandili iss mulk mai sab se ziyada khitab ky sara risk political view leeya raha hasa ta.’ ’ This criticism raises apprehension in the reference of increasing political language in Pakistan moving towards the radicalized and polarised direction which seems away within Pakistan politics but more common concerning different provinces going against each other.
Lahore High Court Case and Online Abuse Azma Bukhari
In a media briefing at the Lahore High Court, Bukhari also mentioned her legal matters. She has said, this was her sixth or seventh time in court on this matter, yet the hearings have been postponed time and again. There are women who have been suffered social media harassment and it does not concern a particular personality or politics’, as she put it.
As for Bukhari, the case is about defending women from cyber bullying. Recent studies show how social media has become one of the most helpful and at the same time dangerous weapons good for politics and bad for humanity and the purpose of her story aims at shining light on such sides of modernism. She did not hide her annoyance with the inadequacy of the management of such agencies as the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) with the sphere of online presence. “The FIA has not succeeded in pulling down even one counterfeit video till date.

Bukhari’s remarks also targeted the FIA ‘who has zero performance’ as she put it. She stated that although the FIA has undertaken several steps to remove avowedly violating content , it does not seem to have that much value in protecting people, especially females from online violence. “They come with zero performance and then go away taking more time than it took to execute. I’m sure you know what I mean.”
With the current youthful population being so active on social media, it has become a notorious issue in Pakistan, since there is no set code of conduct.
A Call to Action Against the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House Defenders of Loathsome Violence
As she was about to conclude her media engagement of the day, Bukhari made an instant request to the Chief Justice of the Peshawar High Court. She presented her case that it is these people who are not helping on the side of the state but making fun of the state from within its institutions.
Text-wise, Bukhari understands that this concern requires her to look more closely at those, including especially radical ones, who are trying to become active in the politics of Pakistan or elsewhere.
Conclusion
The harsh words of Azma Bukhari in interviews and public meetings illustrate the rising rifts in the body politic of the state of Pakistan. Supported by the above, she labels the House of the Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as a shelter for the extremists and calls upon the activities of the FIA for answers. At the same time, she stresses the need to do something about the terrorist elements embedded within political structures, a rather extreme view to take in the current political atmosphere in Pakistan.
