Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has publicly defended the federal government's decision to declare an emergency and enforce governor's rule in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. During a press briefing in Gujranwala, the Prime Minister stated that these actions were essential to prevent potential violence and maintain public order during the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf long march. He emphasized that remaining inactive while the region faced instability would have been irresponsible. Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif also supported the administration's stance, asserting that the intervention was a necessary step to address the rapidly declining security conditions in the province. According to the leadership, the government felt compelled to act to ensure national stability and prevent a total breakdown of law and order in the area.
