Pakistan has been experiencing a delicate situation, with an effective state of emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, as per UrduPoint news. Former National Assembly speaker and Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader, Asad Qaiser, emphasizes the denial of provincial government authority while highlighting the responsibility of the chief minister over law and order.
Qaiser expresses his party's willingness to engage in dialogue, stating that they have presented their concerns to the government, leaving policy decisions in their hands. He warns, however, that they will withdraw from assemblies if the government opts for governor's rule, emergency declaration, or disqualifies Sohail Afridi.
