In Gujranwala, PM Shehbaz Sharif framed emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as the only way to avert bloodshed tied to a PTI long march and a breakdown in order.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif defended emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, saying the Centre had no other option.
He cited fears of bloodshed during a PTI long march and a breakdown of law and order.
Nawaz Sharif, speaking in London, backed the move and said it should have come earlier.
The PM said talks of about 48 hours produced a draft deal that later fell through after consultations with the now-suspended KP chief minister.
He described a two-month interim arrangement and a largely non-political advisory council meant to help stabilise the province.
