LONDON: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has described the imposition of an emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as a necessary measure, saying the situation in the province had been deteriorating and the decision should have been taken much earlier.
Speaking to journalists in London, Nawaz Sharif criticised Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), accusing the party of causing significant damage to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during its 13 years in power.
He questioned how a provincial chief minister could use government resources to launch an attack on the federal capital, describing such conduct as incomprehensible.
The former prime minister also questioned the use of provincial resources against Islamabad and other provinces, asking how such actions could be justified.
Nawaz Sharif further claimed that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had been freed from PTI’s government.
The PML-N leader reaffirmed his party’s commitment to Pakistan’s development and prosperity, saying the federal and provincial governments were making efforts to improve the lives of ordinary citizens.
He maintained that the governments remained focused on providing relief to the public and improving living standards across the country.
