Pakistan's parliament approves motion to impose emergency rule on Khyber Pakthunkhwa amid massive PTI protests

Peshawar, Oct 15 (UNI) A joint sitting of Pakistan's Parliament on Thursday approved the federal government's imposition of emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), drawing strong protests from the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) there, reports the DAWN.
The session was convened to consider separate resolutions endorsing the two measures, introduced by the Centre on October 11 amid Islamabad's rising tensions with the PTI. The federal government cited the provincial administration's "deliberate disengagement" from efforts to combat terrorism.
The move followed weeks of political friction between the Centre and the PTI, alongside negotiations to resolve their differences, after the party announced a long march to Islamabad demanding the release of its jailed founder and the country's former premier Imran Khan.
