Govt 'seriously' considering imposing emergency in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa: Tariq Fazal
Says move being considered because of the security situation in K-P
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Tariq Fazal Chaudhry disclosed on Wednesday that the federal administration is seriously contemplating the imposition of an emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) due to escalating security concerns and political discord. Chaudhry noted that the possibility of implementing an emergency under Article 232 of the Constitution is being deliberated upon.
The federal government may engage in discussions with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) if it decides to proceed with the emergency. The issue of Governor’s Rule has emerged as a contentious matter between the federal and K-P governments, with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Information Minister Atta Tarar presenting contrasting perspectives on the matter.
Meanwhile, K-P Governor Faisal Karim Kundi cautioned the provincial government against precipitating a scenario that may prompt the Centre to impose Governor’s Rule.
