Imran Khan

Shadow of Treason

By acceding to the advice of the prime minister who torpedoed the motion of no confidence, the President too violated the Constitution in view of the explicit constitutional provision. The unanimous judgement of the five-member bench of the Pakistan Supreme Court to revive the NA and the motion of no confidence, shows once again and beyond doubt how robust and independent the apex judiciary is in an otherwise facile democracy, a failed State, and the home of ubiquitous non-state actors

A nation led by political lemmings

The latest collective surge, led by the PTI alliance in government and a motley gang in opposition, has resulted in an absurd situation. As one wag put it, to avoid being thrown out of power through a no-confidence motion, PM Imran Khan had his dentist assistant dissolve the National Assembly.
