Pakistan’s government has declared emergency rule in the province led by the political party associated with imprisoned former prime minister Imran Khan, marking a significant escalation in the country’s political tensions. The move follows a period of heightened unrest, with authorities citing concerns over law and order as justification for the unprecedented measure. Critics of the government have accused it of using the emergency powers to suppress opposition, while supporters argue it is necessary to restore stability. The decision comes amid ongoing legal and political battles surrounding Khan’s detention and the broader political landscape.
