A classified cable published by Drop Site News has revived debate around Imran Khan’s 2022 conspiracy allegations and Washington’s role during Pakistan’s political crisis.
During a Reddit AMA, Imran Khan spoke openly about rejecting macho, violent roles in films. He warned that glorifying aggression and toxic masculinity in Bollywood harms both men and women alike.
The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) leader has been behind bars since August 2023 when he was convicted of corruption charges and awarded a 14-year jail sentence.
The imprisonment of a former Prime Minister would ordinarily dominate political debate in a democracy.
Imran Khan opens up about his unusual journey with money, from modest beginnings to earning ₹7–12 crore after 'Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na'. The actor shares candid insights on sudden fame, financial highs, and the disconnect that came with overnight success.
The elevation of Shahbaz Sharif, who is presently leader of the opposition as Prime Minister is unlikely to bring political stability to Pakistan. Presently, both political parties, PML Nawaz and PPP, have come together to depose Imran Khan, but it is doubtful that this political unity would remain once they start running the government.
The move by the leadership to disqualify 20 of its MNAs exposed the extent of revolt in the party. Its fragmentation also reflects the fact that the party has been more a collection of cult followers or a fan club than a proper organisation.
"We will not take revenge but will surely hold them accountable for these scandals," Maryam Nawaz told reporters.
Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif took oath as the 23rd Prime Minister of Pakistan on Monday evening hours after being elected by the National Assembly of the country.
Confirming the decision, Pakistan's former Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed said that sitting in the assembly would strengthen the Leader of the Opposition Shehbaz Sharif and therefore it has been decided to submit their resignation from the National Assembly.
