According to reports, the federal government has recently discussed emergency measures in the province, although no immediate decision was taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rehman said JI had previously opposed such measures and was again making its position clear.\u201cIf there is talk of governor\u2019s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, we do not accept it. Similarly, we will not support emergency; we oppose it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the government should have initiated meaningful negotiations earlier with PTI and other opposition parties, arguing that delays had worsened the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rehman welcomed the formation of a committee for dialogue but said it should produce results rather than become a \u201cphoto session\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also backed several of PTI\u2019s demands concerning its incarcerated founder Imran Khan, saying political party members should be allowed to meet him and that concerns over his health should be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rehman said the Supreme Court\u2019s decision concerning Khan should be implemented in letter and spirit and that restrictions on meetings should be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also called for greater attention to the health and legal concerns of detained PTI leaders and women, including Khan\u2019s sisters and Dr Yasmin Rashid. He urged that courts be allowed to function properly and that there should be no unnecessary obstacles to bail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf the government makes progress on these demands, things will be diluted and the situation will improve,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rehman said JI had discussed the issue with PTI members and that they had not rejected negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He argued that Pakistan needed a common agenda focused not only on the opposition but also on restoring the broader democratic, political and constitutional process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ruling coalition and PTI are due to hold talks on Friday as tensions rise ahead of the Oct. 4 march.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also <a href=\"https:\/\/humenglish.com\/latest\/pm-president-agree-to-send-govt-ppp-delegation-for-talks-with-pti\/\">discussed<\/a> the political and security situation, with particular focus on KP, on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PAK SOUCH MEDIA GROUP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daily Pak Souch Newspaper Sukkur \u2013 Daily Pak Special Newspaper Karachi \u2013 Daily Pak Today Newspaper Karachi &#8211;
