Fazl consults Opposition on emergency, governor’s rule in KP

ISLAMABAD – Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman yester­day held consultations with Op­position Leader in the Nation­al Assembly Mahmood Khan Achakzai and Opposition Lead­er in the Senate Allama Raja Na­sir Abbas over country’s politi­cal situation and imposition of emergency or governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The meeting took place in the op­position chamber of the Na­tional Assembly, with Hussain Ahmad Yousafzai, spokesper­son for the Tehreek Tahafuz-e-Ayeen Pakistan (TTAP), also in attendance. The consultations come amid growing political debate over the provincial gov­ernment’s performance, the se­curity situation in Khyber Pakh­tunkhwa and the constitutional implications of imposing emer­gency measures or governor’s rule in the province. Speaking to the journalists after the meet­ing, Fazl dismissed speculation linking him to the alleged arrest of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, respond­ing with laughter when asked about the matter.
