Imran Khan

A recent survey conducted by Gallup Pakistan found that 93 percent of respondents felt their perception of the military had improved since the clashes.

The former Pakistan PM’s conviction in the Al-Qadir Trust case is imminent, say government officials.

It has signaled to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf that it will crackdown on the party despite its popularity.

Perhaps Imran Khan sees stirring instability as his only way to evade prison and reclaim power.

At a recent rally – its first outside Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province since the general elections – the PTI adopted a confrontationist posture vis-à-vis the civilian government and the military leadership.

The Corps Commanders' Conference sent out a strong message that any attempt to undermine the military institution would face severe consequences.

The decision appears to be a response from the Sharif government and military to the judiciary’s recent rulings supportive of Khan.

Khan's party said the government's moves are a desperate response to recent court verdicts throwing out previous convictions against him.

Sharif secured 201 votes, defeating Omar Ayub, who was backed by Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf

“A coup may not be imminent, but it is fair to say that Pakistan is unlikely to come out of its enduring praetorian trap.”

Independents affiliated with the PTI have won the most seats. But Imran Khan will not be prime minister.

The three main political parties must evolve a political consensus through a grand dialogue.
