Asia-Pacific3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported13m ago
Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari declared a state of emergency in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Sunday. The move resulted in the immediate suspension of the provincial government, which is currently led by the party of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The declaration grants the federal government authority to assume key executive and legislative powers within the region.
The federal intervention follows a period of instability and precedes a planned march by opposition forces. According to official reports, the emergency measures were enacted to address a security crisis and a perceived breakdown of constitutional governance in the province bordering Afghanistan.
