Imran Why there was a stampede at Khan’s party
According to the report published in Al-Jazeera, experts believe that due to the role of Pakistan Army in domestic politics, defection from political parties is not a new phenomenon. Experts believe that such defection happens at the behest of the officers sitting at the top. In Pakistan, the military has directly ruled the country for three decades.
According to the report published in Al Jazeera, political analyst Benazir Shah said that till now it seems that Pakistan’s army is taking any decision for the leaders. The army wants to decide which political party should contest the elections. Which party should be kept away from elections? Shah said it is not easy to predict how leaders leaving PTI will affect the party in future.
He said, ‘ In the past, attempts have been made to break political parties like PPP (Pakistan People’s Party) and PMLN (Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz). But this plan rarely works. The leaders of this political party proved loyal to the party.
These leaders did not allow the base of the party to weaken. These leaders were ready to stay in jail for a long time, and also did not hesitate to bear court cases. On the other hand, this thing is not yet visible in the leaders of Imran’s party.
According to the report published in Aljazeera, Asma Faiz, Associate Professor of Political Science at Lahore University of Management Science, says, ‘These defections can have an impact on the performance of PTI in the next elections. There is no doubt that Khan enjoys huge support among the people, but he needs strong candidates who can bring his vote bank with him.
