ISLAMABAD: A high-level meeting is likely to be held tomorrow to discuss the possible imposition of an emergency or governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with the president, prime minister and senior military officials expected to attend, according to sources.
Sources said a final decision on the situation in the province could be taken during the meeting.
Reports from national security institutions are also expected to be reviewed as part of the consultations, sources added.
According to the sources, a proposal is under consideration to impose an emergency in 12 districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including the merged districts of the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
Another proposal reportedly involves the federal government exercising key powers in the province.
Sources further said the meeting may consider constitutional provisions ranging from Article 232 to Article 234 before approving major decisions regarding the province.
However, no official decision has been announced so far.
