Emergency likely to impose in Pak

ISLAMABAD: Speculation was rife here late tonight that Emergency might be imposed in Pakistan at any time in the wake of the volatile situation in the country's north western parts bordering Afghanistan, infested by Taliban and al Qaeda militants, after a senior minister said the condition was ripe for the measure.

Minister of State for Information Tariq Azim told private Geo television channel that condition was ripe for Emergency and the government is seriously considering the measure which however has not been imposed so far.
