A state of emergency and governor’s rule have reportedly been imposed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, marking a major development amid heightened political tensions in the province.
The reported move comes as security measures have intensified in Peshawar, with key roads blocked and cellular services suspended. The situation has unfolded alongside PTI’s long march towards Islamabad, which is demanding the release of former prime minister Imran Khan.
Chief Minister Sohail Afridi was earlier reported to be inside the Chief Minister’s House as political developments unfolded. The situation has drawn attention to the provincial government’s position and the potential implications of federal intervention.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi had indicated that imposing an emergency in the province could become difficult to avoid. PTI, meanwhile, has warned that extraordinary measures could further increase political tensions.
The reported imposition of emergency and governor’s rule represents a significant development in relations between the federal and provincial governments. Further details regarding the legal process, the scope of the measures and their implementation remain important to understanding the situation.
