NewzPresident Asif Ali Zardari has issued an order effectively suspending the provincial government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. This executive action places the northwestern province under emergency rule, stripping the regional administration of its standard governing authority.
The province serves as a primary political stronghold for former Prime Minister Imran Khan and is currently governed by his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. The move marks a significant escalation in the ongoing political tensions between the central government and the opposition movement led by Khan.
