Experts back Imran's prediction of govt’s demise in six months

Political analysts maintain that former prime minister and founder of Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan's confidence in predicting the current government's demise within six months is rooted in solid grounds and a realistic assessment, grounded on his belief that the government lacks both moral and constitutional credibility. Speaking on the Express News political talk-show "Experts", moderated by anchor Dua Jamil, Naveed Hussain, Chief Editor of The Express Tribune, underscored Maulana Fazalul Rehman's concerns about the government's legitimacy, highlighting the prevailing doubts. Hussain drew parallels with the 2018 elections, suggesting that akin to that time, doubts persist about the mandate given to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to govern. He emphasised the perception that the government's authority truly lies with Imran Khan, currently imprisoned in Adiala Jail.

He expressed concern that a government formed under such circumstances stands on shaky ground and is liable to collapse at any moment. Ayaz Khan, Group Editor of Daily Express, concurred with Hussain, highlighting Imran Khan's resilience despite incarceration and internal discord within the PML-N. https://ift.tt/b14uqPT Amir Ilyas Rana, Express News Bureau Chief in Islamabad, characterised Imran Khan's statement as political rhetoric, questioning the alternatives he presents to his followers.

Rana also commented on the due process surrounding Nawaz Sharif and his family's cases, alleging irregularities in their disqualification. https://ift.tt/pFhK2d5 "There is a significant difference between Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan; Nawaz Sharif was disqualified as prime minister, whereas Imran Khan was ousted by a vote of no-confidence," Rana emphasised. Faisal Hussain, Express News Bureau Chief in Karachi, raised questions about the assertion that Nawaz Sharif's government will end in six months, pointing out the absence of a functioning government and criticising Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's stance on taking on more loans. https://ift.tt/Kxqp7L6 Muhammad Ilyas, Express News Bureau Chief in Lahore, highlighted governmental pressure amidst considerations for dialogue with Imran Khan, suggesting that Khan's release could destabilise the government. https://ift.tt/kqiQhLY
