Former Prime Minister Imran Khan warns of India carrying out assassinations in Pakistan, highlighting country’s precarious situation

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, currently incarcerated on corruption charges, has issued a stark warning about the security situation in Pakistan and its borders with Afghanistan and India. In a column for the UK’s ‘Daily Telegraph’, Khan alleged that India was carrying out assassinations within Pakistan, exacerbating tensions in the region.

Khan expressed concerns about the country’s trajectory, drawing parallels to the events that led to the split of East Pakistan in 1971. He highlighted the rise in terrorism and alienation in Balochistan, pointing to enforced disappearances as a growing issue. Khan also accused the military establishment of orchestrating his predicament and suggested that his life was in danger.

The former PM emphasized Pakistan’s global isolation amidst economic turmoil, inflation, and allegations of electoral rigging. He criticized the military’s interference in the democratic process, claiming that electoral results were manipulated to bring the ruling party to power.

Khan’s column also shed light on the judiciary’s plight, with six judges of the Islamabad High Court alleging harassment and blackmail by intelligence agencies. The unprecedented move underscores the deep-seated frustrations within the judicial system.

As tensions escalate in the region, Khan’s warning serves as a sobering reminder of the volatile situation in Pakistan and its implications for regional stability. Despite the challenges he faces, Khan remains resolute in his stance against oppression and injustice, vowing to stand firm in the face of adversity.
