Coordinator to the Prime Minister for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Affairs, Ikhtiar Wali Khan, says the government is devising a comprehensive policy for legal mining in the province.

Addressing a news conference, he said the PTI-led government was involved in illegal gold mining in Kohat, with benefits also being shared with terrorist commanders.

Calling out the crime-terror nexus of the previous government, Ikhtiar Wali Khan revealed that about eighty percent of the illegally mined gold was supplied to Afghanistan.

He said public officeholders of the previous government had used the "youth committee" as a cover for illegal mining.

Ikhtiar Wali Khan made it clear that everyone involved in illegal gold mining would be tried and no one would be spared accountability.

He vowed that illegal mining network will be eliminated from the province.
