ISLAMABAD, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Pakistan's president suspended the government in a province ruled by the ‌party of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan after declaring a state of emergency on Sunday, his office said, stripping its elected administration of its powers.
The decision comes amid a confrontation between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's government and Khan's ⁠Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, which governs northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

Fighting terrorism is a primary state function.

Why It Is a State Function
    • Duty to Protect: Under international and domestic law, sovereign states have a legal and moral obligation to protect the life, security, and fundamental rights of individuals within their jurisdiction. [1, 2]
    • Monopoly on the Legitimate Use of Force: Modern political theory and constitutional law vest the power to maintain law, order, and national defense exclusively in state institutions (such as the military, police, and intelligence agencies).
    • Rule of Law and Prosecution: States are responsible for investigating, prosecuting, or extraditing individuals linked to terrorist acts through formal criminal justice systems. [1]
    • International Obligations: Global frameworks, including United Nations resolutions and international conventions, mandate that national governments establish counter-terrorism policies, border controls, and counter-financing mechanisms.
