Pakistan Imposes Emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Amid Security and Political Disputes
Pakistan's federal government imposed emergency rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), suspending the Imran Khan-led provincial administration due to alleged security failures against Islamist militancy. Critics, including former PTI minister Shehzad Akbar and Awami National Party leader Aimal Wali Khan, accuse the military, led by Field Marshal Asim Munir, of using the security situation to expand control, weaken provincial autonomy, and potentially redraw provincial boundaries. The military and government cite deteriorating security and non-cooperation as justification, while opposition parties label the move a political maneuver undermining democratic governance.
