Islamabad: Pakistan's PTI and TTAP parties vowed on Sunday to challenge the imposition of emergency and Governor's Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) through legal, parliamentary and public means. They accused the federal government of using terrorism as a pretext to remove the democratically elected KP government, which they claimed had a two-thirds majority.
The leaders also disputed whether the measures were warranted by security concerns or were meant to weaken the rival administration. PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan questioned the timing of security-related allegations and challenged the federal government to provide evidence that terrorism had been discussed before October 2, the date of the emergency declaration.
He also accused federal authorities of detaining KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, alleging it was an attack on the provincial mandate. The PTI and TTAP leaders promised to pursue legal action, raise the issue in elected forums and mobilize public support against the decision.
