白沙瓦，被监禁的前总理伊姆兰·汗的政党周一在白沙瓦高等法院提交了一份修订后的请愿书，以宪法为由挑战在开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省实施紧急状态和省长统治。该修订后的请愿书由党主席巴里斯塔·戈哈尔·阿里·汗提交，主张在没有省议会决议的情况下宣布紧急状态违反了宪法要求。开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省是巴基斯坦正义运动党（PTI）执政的唯一省份。
Peshawar, Incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan's party on Monday filed an amended petition in the Peshawar High Court, challenging the imposition of emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on constitutional groundsThe amended petition, filed by party chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, argued that declaring an emergency without a provincial assembly resolution violated constitutional requirements. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was the only province where Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was in power.
该修订后的请愿书在巴基斯坦议会两院通过决议支持在开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省实施紧急状态数日后提交。国民院和参议院于10月14日通过了这些决议，尽管PTI议员强烈反对，他们批评了这一举措并进行了退场抗议。总统阿西夫·阿里·扎尔达里于10月11日根据宪法第232条宣布紧急状态，并根据宪法第234条实施省长统治，联邦政府指责PTI领导的省级政府未能有效应对日益增长的武装分子威胁。
The amended petition was filed days after both houses of Pakistan's Parliament approved resolutions endorsing the emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The National Assembly and the Senate passed the resolutions on October 14 amid strong opposition from PTI lawmakers, who criticised the move and staged a walkout. President Asif Ali Zardari on October 11 proclaimed an emergency under Article 232 and imposed governor's rule under Article 234 of the Constitution, with the federal government accusing the PTI-led provincial administration of failing to effectively tackle rising militancy.
PTI主席坚持认为，宪法第232条的第一项前提规定，在省内实施紧急状态必须由省议会通过决议。根据最新的请愿书，开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省议会尚未通过任何支持实施紧急状态的决议，因此该宣布在宪法上存在疑问。巴里斯塔·汗还敦促法院宣布，在没有省议会决议的情况下实施紧急状态是违宪的。请愿书进一步主张，国民院、参议院或议会联席会议的后续批准无法替代宪法要求的省议会决议。
The PTI chairman maintained that the first proviso to Article 232 of the Constitution requires a resolution from the provincial assembly to impose an emergency in a province. According to the latest petition, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly had not passed any resolution in favour of imposing an emergency, rendering the declaration constitutionally questionable. Barrister Khan also urged the court to declare the imposition of emergency without the provincial assembly's resolution unconstitutional. The petition further argued that subsequent approval by the National Assembly, Senate or a joint sitting of Parliament could not substitute for the constitutionally required resolution of the provincial assembly.
它坚持认为，实施紧急状态的宪法程序和条件必须严格遵循，并要求高等法院审查该宣布的合法性。
It maintained that the constitutional procedure and conditions prescribed for imposing an emergency must be strictly followed and asked the High Court to examine the legality of the declaration.PTI chairman had earlier moved the Peshawar High Court challenging the emergency and sought to reinstate former chief minister Sohail Afridi and his cabinet.
PTI主席此前曾向白沙瓦高等法院提交诉状，挑战紧急状态，并寻求恢复前首席部长索海尔·阿夫里迪及其内阁的职务。此前的诉状还曾挑战顾问委员会的成立以及武装部队在该省的部署。联邦政府已为该举动辩护，称其依据是开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省的安全形势，该省近几个月来武装袭击事件有所增加。
The earlier petition had also challenged the formation of an Advisory Council and the deployment of the armed forces in the province. The federal government has defended the move, citing the security situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which has witnessed a surge in militant attacks in recent months.
