Why is electoral defeat a big shock for Imran Khan
In any democratic country, the Finance Minister is considered the leader of the number 3 position. In such a situation, if the finance minister of Imran Khan cabinet loses the election after three years of the formation of the government, then it is disrespectful to the government. Imran Khan personally campaigned for his cabinet colleague. The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Party (PTI) claimed that it had the support of 182 members, while 172 votes were required to elect the senator. The Pakistan Election Commission (ECP) announced that Yusuf Raza Gilani got 169 votes while Sheikh got 164 votes. Seven votes were rejected. The total number of votes was 340.
Pakistani army left together
It is being told that the situation is not normal between the Imran Khan government and the army. The Pakistani army has also refused to help Imran Khan in view of the increasing pressure on him. For this reason, on the instructions of Pakistan Army Chief, Chairman of China Pakistan Economic Corridor and former Lieutenant General Aseem Salim Bajwa recently resigned on corruption charges. Now soon the Pakistani army is going to remove most of its generals from the service of the government.
The strength of fundamentalist religious parties increased in Pakistan
The existence of Islamic parties in Pakistan has always been second-rate. These parties work behind some big party to garner religious votes for it. But Maulana Diesel’s entrenchment to surround Islamabad last year has brought his popularity to a peak. At the same time, Pakistan’s main opposition parties Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) are devoid of leadership.
Leading Opposition Parties Without Leadership
Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) president Nawaz Sharif is currently hiding in London for fear of punishment. The Pakistani court has even sent a warrant for his arrest to London. While his brother and prominent opposition leader Shahbaz Sharif is in jail in the case of money laundering. The talk of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is that after the death of Benazir Bhutto, there is no face in this party that can draw votes. People take Bilawal Bhutto lightly, while Asif Ali Zardari is facing a corruption case.
