An important meeting was held at the President’s House under the chairmanship of the President of Pakistan over the deteriorating law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The meeting was attended by the prime minister, foreign minister, interior minister, other key federal ministers and security officials.

PPP leaders Naveed Qamar and Sherry Rehman also attended the meeting. During the meeting, a proposal to impose emergency rule in 12 districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including the province’s merged districts, was considered, and various options under Articles 232 to 234 of the Constitution were discussed.

According to sources, an agreement has been reached at the meeting on imposing emergency rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and approval from the federal cabinet is expected to be sought tomorrow.

The meeting also held detailed discussions on the country’s political and security situation, after which Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif left the President’s House and departed for Islamabad.

It was decided to issue a statement at the conclusion of the meeting. It was also agreed to convene a session of the National Assembly on October 13 and hold a separate session of the Senate.

Fake Reports of Large-Scale Operations in KP’s Merged Districts Debunked

Certain elements on social media are attempting to spread reports claiming that, following the possible imposition of an emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, preparations are underway to launch large-scale operations in some areas of the merged districts.

These reports are completely baseless and fake.

Intelligence-based operations (IBOs) are conducted on a daily basis in accordance with ground realities and threat assessments, as has been the normal practice in the past.

Reports regarding the launch of any new large-scale operation are fabricated and fake, aimed at unnecessarily spreading panic and creating concern among the local population.
