After this, the rights of the provincial government of Imran Khan’s party PTI were abolished and the administration of the province came into the hands of the Centre. This decision was taken amid increasing terrorist attacks in the province. The federal government alleged that the PTI government was not showing seriousness in taking action against terrorism. The provincial government was not getting full support even in the operations of the security forces.
