Imran khan news

In March, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) banned broadcasts of the former prime minister’s speeches and press conferences on the grounds that he was promoting hate speech and attacking state institutions. In May, after Khan’s arrest on corruption charges prompted nationwide protests by supporters of his PTI party, Pemra issued a directive asking media channels to refrain from providing airtime to individuals who promote hate speech.

Imran Khan’s supporters chant slogans as they protest in Islamabad after he loses the vote of no-confidence in parliament [Akhtar Soomro/Reuters] The former prime minister’s political demise was rooted in twin new realities. Inside parliament, Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had Outside parliament, Khan appeared to lose the support of Pakistan’s powerful military, which the opposition alleged helped him win the 2018 general election, and had recently publicly fallen out with the prime minister over senior military appointments and policy decisions. The PTI and the military have denied the allegations. In recent weeks, as the principal opposition parties, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N), ramped up their efforts to dislodge Khan, coalition allies became vocal in their dissatisfaction with him. “As far as governance was concerned, the government had totally failed,” said Senator Anwaar ul Haq Kakar of the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP), a coalition ally that withdrew support for Khan in late March. “There was disgruntlement for the past two years,” Kakar added. “The party [BAP] was not happy about its share in the federal government and the ministerial portfolio it has been allocated.” The sour mood among Khan’s erstwhile allies was echoed by Nadeem Afzal Chan, a special assi...
