PTI leader Barrister Salman Akram Raja faced backlash for defending the KP government after delays in rescuing 18 tourists trapped in a flash flood in Swat. At a press conference, he said Pakistan is dealing with multiple crises, including terrorism and natural disasters, and isolated incidents shouldn’t be used to blame the government. He added that expecting an immediate response from the entire provincial setup is unrealistic and criticized the politicization of such tragedies.
