Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan has criticised President Dr Arif Alvi's recent letter to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, stating that the president should "work within his constitutional domain." In his response, the minister suggested that the president should focus on asking former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan to return 190 million pounds to the national exchequer, as well as seeking answers for "acts of terrorism", accepting Tyrian as his daughter, and facing the Toshakhana and foreign funding cases in court. The president's letter to the prime minister urged him to direct all executive authorities to assist the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in holding general elections in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa within the constitutional timeframe.
