Government claims Khyber Pakhtunkhwa residents support governor's rule and emergency

At a press briefing with Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, Information Minister Ataullah Tarar asserted that residents of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have embraced the recent governor's rule and emergency declaration. He argued the measures would bring safety, protect livelihoods and end the alleged political-crime nexus. Tarar suggested that only a very small protest had occurred, contrasting it with a hypothetical massive street demonstration if the previous PTI government had continued its policies.
