Pakistan imposes governor's rule in KP over counterterrorism failures

Pakistan's federal government, led by PM Shehbaz Sharif, imposed emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on October 11, citing the provincial government's disengagement from counterterrorism amid rising militant violence. Parliament has now endorsed the move, centralizing control in a province bordering Afghanistan. This marks a significant federal intervention in provincial governance, likely escalating political tensions with the PTI-led provincial administration.
