Islamabad: On Wednesday, Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam—Fazl (JUI-F) leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman criticized the government for allegedly misusing the Constitution and implementing unconstitutional actions in imposing a governor's rule and emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The federal government imposed the governor's rule and emergency on October 11, claiming this was due to the provincial government's "deliberate disengagement" from the fight against terrorism.
Fazl argued that the government had breached constitutional norms and questioned the government's ability to maintain law and order, especially in Balochistan. The senior politician called for the establishment of a new Charter of Democracy to safeguard the nation from unconstitutional actions and potential unrest.
