Mehbooba Mufti Says Imran Khan Faces Same Political Tactics He Once Used
· World · The Hindu, Indian Express
Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti stated that former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan is currently experiencing the same political treatment he previously directed at his own opponents. Recalling a 1994 meeting in London with her father, she noted that she was initially impressed by Khan's conviction regarding positive change in Pakistan. However, she argued that his government eventually adopted the same political culture of pursuing rivals with intense zeal. Khan was removed from office following a no-confidence motion in March 2022 and has been detained on corruption charges since March 2023.
Why it matters
The statement highlights the ongoing political instability in Pakistan and reflects the perspective of regional leaders on the cyclical nature of the country's governance and judicial crackdowns.
