Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif has been cleared of corruption charges and is set to be a candidate for a fourth term. After spending four years in exile in London to avoid imprisonment, Sharif returned to Pakistan in October and was cleared of charges, enabling him to run in the upcoming February 8 elections. His party has endorsed him as the consensus candidate. Meanwhile, Sharif's main rival, Imran Khan, who was ousted in April 2022 and is currently serving a prison sentence, also plans to participate in the elections. Shah Mahmood Qureshi, an associate of Khan, was arrested under a law allowing detention to maintain law and order, following a High Court decision related to the leaking of official government secrets.

In Bangladesh, deceased and incarcerated individuals, including opposition activists, have been named in criminal cases related to recent protests demanding Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation. Nasir Rahman and Sanaullah Mia, both deceased, were among those wrongly accused. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party claims these 'ghost' cases are baseless and politically motivated. The police acknowledge the possibility of errors, which they attribute to false information from witnesses. The Home Minister denies the existence of such cases, stating that any incorrect accusations are dropped during investigations. The controversy highlights issues within Bangladesh's criminal justice system and the political unrest leading up to the general election.

Pakistan’s New Cabinet Indicates Military’s Influence
01 Mar 2024

thediplomat.com

English
| Government
Pakistan's new federal cabinet, composed of technocrats, seasoned politicians, and non-affiliated individuals, reflects significant military influence. Key appointments, such as Muhammad Aurangzeb as finance minister and Aleem Khan overseeing privatization, indicate the military's role in shaping the administration. The cabinet's formation suggests deeper electoral manipulation aimed at sidelining certain political figures, particularly those aligned with Nawaz Sharif. The military's backing ensures the cabinet's authority and signals a strong stance against political opposition. The effectiveness of this arrangement amid economic and political challenges remains uncertain.

Imran Khan, Pakistan's former Prime Minister, is facing a multitude of legal charges which he claims are fabricated to undermine him and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, before the upcoming elections in October. He suggests a conspiracy involving the military establishment, which holds significant power in Pakistan, to disqualify him. Khan has been vocal about the need for governance reform and has faced arrest and accusations of terrorism and other serious charges. The country is dealing with severe economic issues, including high inflation and debt, as well as the aftermath of catastrophic flooding. Khan calls for rule of law and investment to address these challenges, while also highlighting the threat of a military dictatorship versus the hope for a free and fair election.

Taliban leader mocks Pakistan with 1971 surrender photo

English
| Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan
The Taliban's Ahmad Yasir mocked Pakistan by tweeting a historic photo of Pakistan's 1971 surrender to India, following Pakistani Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah's threat of military action against TTP hideouts in Afghanistan. Relations between Islamabad and Kabul are strained due to Pakistan's recognition of TTP as a terror organization and recent attacks by TTP in Balochistan. Analysts argue that Pakistan's strategy has long aimed to destabilize Afghanistan for strategic gains. The Taliban's open mockery reflects growing tensions and Pakistan's diminishing control over terror groups.

China Disappoints with Pakistan's Refusal for Opening Security Company in Country
03 Jul 2023

www.latestly.com
|
English
| Security
China is reportedly surprised by Pakistan's refusal to allow the opening of a Chinese security company aimed at protecting Chinese nationals in Pakistan. The request, made by the Chinese Ministry of State Security, was objected to by Pakistan's Interior Ministry, with Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah stating that foreign security companies cannot operate in Pakistan. The Policy Research Group's Valentin Popescu suggests that there is a subtle anti-China sentiment in Pakistan, not as strong as anti-American sentiment, and that the request was prompted by an attack on the University of Karachi's Confucius Institute, which resulted in the death of three Chinese teachers. Despite Pakistan's efforts to protect Chinese nationals, including raising a special force, the security situation remains a concern, with Chinese workers facing threats from Islamist militants and Baloch insurgents.

Sana, Abid Sher groups fail to sink differences

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is preparing for the return of its leader Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam, but internal party divisions persist, particularly between the Abid Sher Ali and Rana Sanaullah groups. An advertisement from the Sanaullah group detailed procession plans for various constituencies, excluding candidates from the Ali group. Despite the party's need for unity to welcome Sharif and counteract political rivals, local leaders have been unable to mobilize workers effectively due to ongoing disputes. The article suggests that these internal issues could impact the party's performance in the upcoming elections, especially in light of the accountability court verdict against Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz.

The Islamabad High Court has issued a stay order in the cipher case to ensure a fair trial for the suspect, Imran Khan. The decision highlights contradictions between the high court and the Supreme Court. Shah Mehmood Qureshi's case saw his judicial remand extended, making him eligible for bail. The Economist Intelligence Unit's report suggests the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is likely to secure a majority in upcoming elections, while the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lacks electables. The judiciary's role in Imran Khan's case is debated, with some judges perceived as biased. The PML-N and PPP face challenges in their election campaigns, with calls for election delays due to unpreparedness and constituency changes. The military supports timely elections, dispelling delay rumors.
