KP assembly session put off amid fears of dissident backlash
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly session has been postponed multiple times due to fears of criticism from a dissident group within the ruling PTI over Imran Khan's imprisonment. Dissident lawmakers, unhappy with not being included in the provincial cabinet, demand his release, medical treatment, and expedited court proceedings, threatening a permanent sit-in if their demands are not met.
