Federal Cabinet Supports Imposition of Governor's Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

The federal cabinet has shown overwhelming support for the imposition of Governor's Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), according to government sources. However, the final decision will be made after consultations with key political allies, including the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Qaumi Watan Party (QWP), and Awami National Party (ANP).

Sources within the government revealed that the Law Ministry and Attorney General have provided their legal opinions, affirming the legality of imposing Governor's Rule in the province. These opinions come in the wake of concerns over recent political developments in KP, including allegations of attacks on the federation by local forces. Government machinery and employees were reportedly involved in these incidents, leading to the justification for taking such a step.

During the cabinet meeting, which focused solely on this issue, the government expressed the need to take all political stakeholders into confidence before proceeding. While the cabinet's consensus is clear, the decision will hinge on further consultations with coalition partners.

The imposition of Governor's Rule in KP is seen as a significant step in addressing the political instability in the province. However, it remains to be seen how the opposition parties, particularly those in the provincial government, will respond to this move.

The final outcome of these discussions will likely have broader implications for the political landscape in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Pakistan as a whole.
