Pakistan parliament endorses emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Pakistan's parliament endorsed a federal resolution upholding the imposition of emergency and governor's rule in the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The Shehbaz Sharif government enforced the intervention on October 11, citing the provincial government's disengagement from counterterrorism efforts amid rising militant violence.

The federal move displaced the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government led by jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, triggering protests and hundreds of detentions.
