Emergency, governor's rule would 'definitely' be imposed if deemed necessary to 'save' KP: Kundi

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi declared on Wednesday that if the prime minister and president determined it was necessary to impose an emergency or governor’s rule in the province to "save it" from terrorism, it would "definitely" be implemented. The governor made this statement during a Geo News program titled 'Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath', where the potential for emergency or governor’s rule was under discussion.

When questioned about past instances of such measures being put in place, Kundi mentioned that in Balochistan, the PPP government had to end due to law and order issues and an emergency was declared. When asked about the viability of imposing an emergency or governor’s rule, Kundi stated that the decision on its sustainability would be addressed in a future segment.

This response led the host to further inquire, implying that the governor had already decided on the imposition of an emergency or governor’s rule, with its sustainability to be discussed later. Kundi responded by reiterating, "We have to save the province, we have to establish peace in the province."
