PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan has moved the Peshawar High Court against the imposition of emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, requesting the court to declare the move unconstitutional. The petition challenges the constitutionality, legality, and vires of the Oct 11 Proclamation of Emergency, the deployment of the Armed Forces to the province, and consequential executive orders.
