DC Edit | Imran drama intensifies

Deccan Chronicle  

Pakistan’s former Prime Minister and cricket captain Imran Khan has put himself directly on a collision course with the Pakistan Army and it bodes ill for the politician. Would the top court intervention suffice to keep the Army from acting further against him is not even in the speculative realm as the Army has already filed a case against him that may go to a military court where Imran may not have the protection of the judiciary. Smarting under what it terms as orders in favour of Imran Khan, the Pakistan Democratic Movement is staging a sit-in outside the Supreme Court even as the National Assembly passed a resolution for a 5-member panel to prepare and file references against top court judges. At every turn since being ousted from power based on a no-confidence vote, clearly triggered by the Army top brass who wanted to get rid of the very person they had nurtured as a political force and helped him vault to the Prime Minister’s seat, Imran has been urging his cadre to hit the streets.
