Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been arrested for a second time, on a second cost, and is barred from operating within the subsequent elections. Khan has blamed a US-led conspiracy for his fall from energy, and a brand new report of a leaked diplomatic cable from the US information outlet The Intercept suggests the US State Division did encourage Pakistani officers to maneuver on from Khan. This political drama provides to Pakistan’s troubles because it faces rising financial and safety challenges beneath an interim authorities and a meddling army institution.
