Pakistan police fire tear gas, rounds at Imran Khan backers, party says

ISLAMABAD, Oct 13 (Reuters) Police fired tear gas and live rounds at supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan in northwestern ​Pakistan on Tuesday, as clashes erupted ‌over the suspension of his party s provincial government, party officials said. The federal government imposed a state of emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Sunday and placed it under ‌direct ​control, citing a surge in ⁠militant violence. Khan s  Pakistan ⁠Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party said that was a pretext for a political takeover. Five people were injured in the clashes that occurred in the province, the most ​serious of them in Bara, about 15 km (9 miles) from the provincial capital Peshawar.  Police ⁠said 50 people were detained ⁠and would face terrorism and sabotage ​charges over damage to government property and disturbing law ​and order. A police official, speaking on condition ‌of anonymity, said protesters set fire to the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) center in Bar
