Pakistan's prime minister says national elections will be held as scheduled, despite President Pervez Musharraf's declaration of emergency rule.
Elections are due by mid-January, but there were fears they might be abandoned because of the crisis.
Police have broken up street protests and hundreds of lawyers and opposition activists have been arrested.
The US said it was "deeply disturbed" by events and urged Gen Musharraf to return to civilian rule.
