🚨 END OF PTI’S GOVT?

KP Governor Faisal Kundi issues a video message after the imposition of emergency and governor's rule in the province.

The measures have been approved under Articles 232 and 234 of the Constitution, the President House said in a statement.

Article 232 of the Constitution provides for the proclamation of emergency in a province.

“If the president is satisfied that a grave emergency exists in which the security of Pakistan, or any part thereof, is threatened by war or external aggression, or by internal disturbance beyond the power of a provincial government to control, he may issue a Proclamation of Emergency,” it says.

Article 234 deals with the imposition of the governor’s rule “in case of failure of constitutional machinery in a province”. For imposition of the governor’s rule, the president simply requires a request from the provincial governor, it says.

“A proclamation issued under this Article shall be laid before a joint sitting and shall cease to be in force at the expiration of two months, unless before the expiration of that period it has been approved by resolution of the joint sitting and may by like resolution be extended for a further period not exceeding two months at a time,” the Constitution reads.
