Will Governor’s Rule Also Be Imposed in Balochistan? Question Posed to Azam Nazir Tarar
Islamabad (Qudrat Daily) — Federal Minister for Law and Justice Azam Nazir Tarar has said that if the Balochistan government plans an attack on the federation, the same situation will arise. Responding to a question during a media interaction — “Will governor’s rule also be imposed in Balochistan?” — he said that the Balochistan government is not organizing government machinery to attack the federation.
He said that if the Balochistan government refuses to cooperate, stops supporting security forces, and plans an attack on the federation, then the same situation will arise. Speaking to the media after a meeting, Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar said that the PPP is an ally of the government and has been taken into confidence. He clarified that no discussion took place in today’s meeting regarding the imposition of emergency or governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The Law Minister said that his stance on governor’s rule or emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa remains the same as before. According to him, the final decision on this matter will be made by the President and the Prime Minister, while all constitutional and legal requirements will be taken into consideration for it.
بلوچستان میں بھی گورنر راج لگایا جائے گا، سوال

اگر بلوچستان حکومت تعاون کرنے سے انکار کرے گی،سیکیورٹی فورسز کو سپورٹ دینا بند کر دے، اور وفاق پر چڑھائی کا پلان بنائی گی تو یہ ہی حال ہوگا۔۔۔وزیر قانون و… pic.twitter.com/fOi0au287y

Regarding the release of any person, including the PTI founder, Azam Nazir Tarar said that the order for release is to be given by the court, not by the government. The parties will present their respective positions before the court on the release petitions.
Explaining the difference between the situations in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, he said that the Balochistan government is not engaging in non-cooperation or aggression against the federation. If the Balochistan government also adopts non-cooperation with the federation like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, then a decision of a similar nature could be applied there as well.
In the context of the current situation, this statement has come at a time when various opinions are emerging in government circles regarding the possibility of emergency or governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa; however, no final decision has yet been announced by the federal government.
