Islamabad is under siege from within. The government is struggling to protect its mandate and push back the incarcerated former PM Imran Khan and his party.
On 9 May, violent protests had erupted after Imran Khan, the former prime minister and PTI party chief, was arrested from the premises of the Islamabad High Court.
Former PM and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief alleged women are being 'abused, harassed in midnight raids' & 'it’s only a matter of time before this seething hatred comes out in the open'.
Khan's lawyers contended that the case was an 'act of revenge', and that he was being targeted by the present government for his 'fearless criticism of corrupt politicians'.
In Naya Pakistan, a woman politician only deserves respect if she’s part of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. Women from the opposition benches don’t make the cut.
When a woman menstruates, when/if she decides to marry, when/if she decides to have kids, should not be factors when looking at a woman’s potential from a hiring standpoint.
The Nirouyeh Vijeh Pasdaran Velayat, or NOPO, was the only force Ali Khamenei trusted.It was founded in 1991 and is more feared than the Revolutionary Guards.
Rating democracies is a tricky business. I am only using the simple metric of who in the Indian subcontinent has had the most peaceful, stable, normal political transitions and continuity.
