The decisive action comes amid an escalating political standoff, occurring just a week after Khan's supporters initiated mass demonstrations to demand his release.

The suspension sharply intensifies tensions between the central authorities and the opposition party, deepening the ongoing political crisis surrounding Khan and his political movement.
