PoliticsPakistan imposes emergency rule in Imran Khan stronghold

Pakistan has imposed emergency rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, suspending the elected provincial government led by jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s PTI party. Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and other provincial leaders have been detained. The federal government says the intervention is needed to address worsening militant violence, while PTI says it aims to stop supporters marching on Islamabad to demand Khan’s release.
