NAVIGATING THROUGH THE TURMOIL OF PAKISTAN’S POLITICS

The Pakistan government’s intended action against former Prime Minister Imran Khan and the alleged backlash from his supporters has ravaged the country over the past few weeks. His detention in Islamabad set off a wave of protests that resulted in several deaths and widespread destruction of property. However, things escalated further when he was ordered to be released the next day. Supporters of the ruling coalition decried the judgment of the Chief Justice and took to the streets demanding his ouster.

These events are the latest in Pakistan’s turbulent political history. Join our expert panel, moderated by Smita Sharma, as it decodes the role of each stakeholder in Pakistan’s realpolitik and their ambitions.
