On Wednesday, the National Assembly passed a resolution supporting the federal government's decision to impose emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Centre had activated governor's rule and emergency in the province on Sunday, citing the provincial government's "deliberate disengagement" from the fight against terrorism. The National Assembly question hour session was halted due to discussions on the emergency.
The Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, presented a motion regarding the proclamation of emergency, which was approved with a majority vote following a discussion opened by the Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar. Throughout the proceedings, opposition members engaged in discussions calmly and avoided any loud protests, unlike previous instances of ruckus when the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) objected to the Centre.
