The stage is set for the possibility of a tumultuous showdown between Pakistan's powerful military and Imran Khan’s supporters following deadly and unprecedented clashes that saw angry crowds break into and vandalize the homes of army personnel
Khan supporters and riot police gathered outside police headquarters Wednesday, where police said the fomer prime minister’s hearing will take place rather than a court to “keep him away from the public.” Khan’s lawyer Faisal Chaudhry told CNN Wednesday he has had “no contact” with his client.
“The military’s image as a unifying force and the guardian of the state has been seriously challenged, which has led to a loss of public trust in the institution. This, in turn, could lead to instability and social unrest.” Pakistan in crisis Khan, 72, was ousted in a parliamentary no-confidence vote last year and has since led a popular campaign against the current government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, accusing it of colluding with the military to remove him from office.
