On Wednesday, both the National Assembly and Senate approved the Centre's imposition of emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, citing the provincial government's "deliberate disengagement" from the fight against terrorism. The emergency was imposed by the federal government on Sunday, following a dialogue held in a cordial atmosphere on October 3.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif attended part of the session, while opposition members participated calmly and did not stage any protest. PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari criticized the PTI-led KP government, calling the emergency a "political suicide attack" for the party and urging dialogue to combat terrorism. Bilawal argued that the opposition and the KP chief minister, whose role is non-functional, were responsible for the political, constitutional, and legal circumstances surrounding the emergency.
He emphasized that emergency is a stopgap measure and that a comprehensive response was needed to eradicate terrorism completely.
