Imran Khan

The Pakistani military supported and nurtured Imran Khan, but later realized it was a failed experiment. 

The tussle between Asim Munir and Imran Khan will only provoke politics of revenge, furthering polarization and deepening Pakistan’s poly-crisis.

Unlike Iran’s Khomeini, the former Pakistani PM is neither a revolutionary nor is he seeking to overthrow established institutions as part of his so-called righteous struggle.

The rise and fall of Pakistan's most controversial populist.

Following the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan last week, his supporters torched buildings, including police and military facilities.

Chaos erupted after Imran Khan's arrest. His release brought an uneasy calm, but the stage is set for a more serious clash.

The government has vowed to find a way to get the former PM back into custody, which would spur violent protests again.

His arrest sparked violence earlier this week and now Pakistan’s Supreme Court has ruled it illegal.

The arrests followed mob attacks on government buildings, military installations, and public places in response to Khan’s arrest on Tuesday.

His supporters’ attacks on army installations set a dangerous precedent and will further erode the military’s support for the former PM and his party.
