Pakistan Imposes Emergency Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Amid Political and Security Concerns
Pakistan's federal government imposed emergency and Governor's Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), citing a breakdown in cooperation with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) provincial administration amid rising terror attacks. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif described the move as a last resort after failed negotiations with PTI leaders. The suspension removes PTI's control over its last provincial stronghold, intensifying political tensions ahead of PTI's planned protest march. Critics warn this could deepen instability and question the timing amid ongoing security challenges.
