The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government (K-P) has decided to establish a judicial commission to investigate the incidents of May 9.
The decision came after a resolution was passed by the provincial assembly, which will now be presented for approval in a cabinet meeting.
The resolution demands the withdrawal of cases against former prime minister Imran Khan and his spouse Bushra Bibi.

Additionally, the text for the judicial inquiry resolution has been prepared, calling for the release of CCTV footage related to the events to the public.
However, the hearing of May 9 cases against 500 accused, including former premier and former foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, was adjourned until July 15 without any proceedings yesterday.
The KP cabinet is scheduled to meet today, with the judicial inquiry resolution included in the agenda.
