In a series of significant political and military developments in Pakistan, the PTI leadership met with the US Ambassador to discuss a wide range of issues. Concurrently, internal disputes within PTI surfaced as Sher Afzal Marwat publicly vowed not to let the party be 'hijacked' by three individuals, which led to PTI founder refusing to meet with Marwat. On the security front, Pakistan's military spokesperson, Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, revealed that the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) planned and executed a deadly attack that killed five Chinese engineers on March 26 in Besham, Shangla district, with the plot being conceived in Afghanistan. This assertion was strongly rejected by the Afghan Taliban, escalating tensions between the two countries.
