Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister on Law and Parliamentary Affairs Aftab Alam Afridi Advocate has said that the media is like a mirror for the society but unfortunately now the media has also turned into a business. He said that he will wholeheartedly welcome criticism for reform, but will respond to the negative propaganda of opponents with his best performance.

Despite stoppage of outstanding dues and non-cooperation of the Center, the under-construction building of Liaqat Memorial Hospital Kohat will be completed within 18 months at a cost of Rs. 2.5 Billions, he said. Similarly, the Cities Improvement Project worth Rs. 12 Billions will also be completed in 18 months, while its Phase-II is also under consideration, he furthered. He continued that funds have also been released for the widening of Kachhari Chowk to PAF Chowk Bannu Road and KDA Link Road.
