Pakistan declared a state of emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday suspending the provincial government led by Imran Khan’s PTI party. President Asif Ali Zardari backed the cabinet decision after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif convened ministers. Officials accused the province of deliberate disengagement from the fight against terrorism. The step comes as PTI plans a march on Islamabad seeking Khan’s release from prison after more than three years behind bars worldwide now.
