Pakistan Declares Emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Suspends Imran Khan's Provincial Government
Pakistan's federal government declared an emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), suspending the provincial government led by former Prime Minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. The move, authorized under Articles 232 and 234 of the Constitution, cites rising terrorist attacks and a breakdown of law and order. KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and PTI oppose the emergency, continuing protests demanding Khan's release. The federal government accuses the provincial administration of disengagement from counterterrorism efforts amid escalating tensions and security concerns.
