Fazlur Rehman Challenges Pakistan's Governor's Rule and Emergency Measures in KP
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has condemned the Pakistan government's imposition of Governor's Rule and emergency measures in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), calling it an attack on democracy. He accused Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's administration of reneging on commitments made during talks with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and criticized the military's counterterrorism efforts since 2010 as ineffective. Rehman also questioned the selective application of emergency measures in KP while neighboring Balochistan faces similar security challenges, suggesting political motives behind the decision.
