Imran Khan

Pakistan Unrest

Pakistan’s ongoing political unrest has entered a new phase, with violent clashes between police and supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Dealing with Imran keeps Pakistan busy

Pakistan’s information minister, Atta Tarar, recently announced that the government planned to permanently ban Imran Khan’s political party, PTI, claiming it was “a direct threat to the fabric of our nation.”

Abhinandan still haunts Pakistan

He commented, “I remember Shah Mahmood Qureshi was in the meeting which Imran Khan had refused to attend and Chief of Army Staff General Bajwa came into the room, his legs were shaking, and he was perspiring. Foreign Minister said for God’s sake let Abhinandan go, India’s about to attack Pakistan at 9 PM.”

Cat out of the bag

For Minister Fawad Chaudhary was unequivocal in claiming credit for the terror attack in Pulwama last year and offered it as proof of the muscular approach adopted by his country.

A dream in tatters

The present government is still lying about each promise and taking U-turns on each commitment.” A tracker maintained by a prominent newspaper on its website shows that of the 51 promises Mr Khan made as part of his “Naya Pakistan” initiative, only one has thus far been fulfilled and five have been partly fulfilled.
