With the PTI ban announcement, Pakistan now stands on the brink of a precipice

Hindustan Times  

On July 15, Pakistan’s information minister Attaullah Tarar announced the federal government’s plan to ban the country’s main opposition party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, whose founder, the cricketer-turned-politician, Imran Khan remains incarcerated in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi. The information minister’s rationale for the ban was the PTI’s involvement in the foreign funding case, the May 9 riots, the cypher episode, and the resolution passed in the US. Reactions to the move The proposal to ban the PTI drew criticism from all quarters, including the Awami National Party, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, Jamaat-e-Islami, and even several leaders from the Pakistan People’s Party, which is in coalition with the ruling PML-N. Now, a ban on arguably the country’s most popular party, which faced an intense crackdown before the elections — including its electoral symbol being stripped away, forcing PTI candidates to run as independents — will only make the masses more sympathetic to the party’s cause, even among those who may not fully agree with its modus operandi.
