Federal cabinet gives nod to imposition of emergency in KP; summary sent to president

It is a good opportunity for the revolutionaries to draw on strategic depth from Afghanistan and Iran. Many revolutionaries will abandon seeking political resolution and move towards open insurgency.
 
Can you provide some proof for any of your claims?

Most of what you are saying is true though but it's not a random guy who just became CM a year ago behind it.

Pakistan's largest business syndicate manages these things. They mow the lawn just enough to keep things in balance and allow the odd package to cross into Pakistan when more fuel is needed. Very much like how Israel occasionally allows Hamas to grow so they can use it as a justification to "cut the grass".

This whole governor Raj is also not aimed at eradicating terrorism or any foolish fantasy like that. Wo bas social media/ISPR syllabus hay.

It's about exacting more control and consolidating in the hands of one office.
Just check the statements of Sohail Afridi and his ministers.
 
I don't know why some people are mourning the removal of a known drug smuggler as the CM of KPK. The PTI government in KPK had turned the province into a heaven for terrorists, absconders, and criminals. The evil nexus between the terrorism, smuggling, and politics was so obvious by the activities, actions, and statements of both the terrorists and PTI provincial ministers. That deadly nexus must be broken at any cost.
The federal government didn't have so much issue with PTI's long march. It was ready to deal with it if and when this march would have crossed over into Punjab. The PTI goons knew that very well. That's why they kept their march lingering around within KPK areas only.

Some people, when it suits them, put an unvarnished, uncontional love for 'democracy' even though they should know, with knowledge literally at their finger tips, 'democracy' can elect people like Trump, Modi and Netanyahu--or the Taliban Khan, who is the hero of the Indians and the Afghans.
PS. I probably have posted more today than in last 6 weeks in this forum!
 

Govt deploys army ‘for security of lives, properties’ in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa​

  • Army deployment authorised under Article 245 to restore order amid anti-govt protests

The federal government has authorised the deployment of Pakistan Army troops and assets in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to assist civil authorities and protect citizens, property and government installations following the imposition of emergency rule in the province.

In a notification issued on Sunday, the Ministry of Interior said the deployment had been authorised under Article 245 of the Constitution for the duration of the proclamation issued on October 11 under Articles 232 and 234.

The notification supersedes earlier orders and states that the governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in consultation with the Military Operations Directorate at General Headquarters (GHQ), will determine the number of troops and assets required.


The development came hours after President Asif Ali Zardari signed the emergency proclamation following recommendations from the federal cabinet concerning the law and order situation and the failure of negotiations with government delegations, according to the president’s office.

The measures followed anti-government demonstrations by supporters of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan and militant violence in the country’s northwest. Thousands of Khan’s supporters have been marching in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, demanding his release and criticising the government amid economic hardships.

PTI lawmaker Junaid Akbar said on X that provincial Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and the party’s provincial president had been arrested shortly after the measures were announced.

PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan criticised the emergency declaration, calling it “an extremely alarming and grave political mistake and an undemocratic measure”.

“The people will never accept such actions against their rights,” he wrote on X.

The proclamation, issued under constitutional provisions dealing with emergency situations and provincial governance, provides the federal government with expanded powers in the province.
