Imran Khan

Pakistan never ceases to amaze observers

Pakistan never ceases to amaze. This was evident in their recently concluded elections. Polling results were delayed by days to select candidates shortlisted by the Rawalpindi clique of generals.

Pakistan cannot wish Imran Khan away

That something is always the same: an appeal to the people. Follow- ing the vote of no-confidence in April 2022, for example, Khan announced a long march to Islamabad in May.

Imran’s moves put Pakistan in a spot

Imran’s actions marked the end of season 1 of Pakistan’s game of thrones. The second season would begin with the hearings of the Supreme Court. How these would progress and what decision they take would determine whether Pakistan remains an accepted democracy. Pakistan’s legal luminaries termed Imran’s final game as illegal.

Testing times

In another incident, four Pakistani soldiers were killed as they countered a plan by a group of terrorists who had attempted to infiltrate into Pakistan from Afghanistan, going by the version advanced by the Inter-Services Intelligence.
