  "summary": "Sharifs invoke security fears to defend KP move: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and PML-N President Nawaz Sharif have defended the imposition of emergency and governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), citing security concerns and the provincial government’s “deliberate disengagement” from the fight against terrorism. The federal government imposed these measures on October 11, 2023, following weeks of political tensions and negotiations aimed at bridging differences between the Centre and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). The Sharifs argue that the intervention should have been taken earlier, despite their best efforts to engage with the PTI leadership and address the situation.",
