Imran Khan’s political journey

Imran Khan’s political journey exemplifies this dynamic. In the 2018 general election, Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) emerged victorious amid widespread allegations of military-backed rigging. Reports from the time highlighted pre-poll manipulation, including media censorship, abductions of journalists, and coerced defections of politicians from rival parties like the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) to PTI. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan labeled the 2018 polls as among the “dirtiest and most micromanaged” in the country’s history. Khan, a former cricketer turned populist politician, was seen as the military’s chosen candidate, a perception reinforced by his initial harmony with then-Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa. สล็อตเว็บตรง
