3 assassination attempts, 200 major FIRs. Wife in prison and lots of personal nasty cases. He is not asking the military to release him. Only for Pakistan.
Rest GEO is Nawaz Kashmiri media group.
Imran Khan brought awareness among youths, he achieved his goals. Those who want to live dream world of establishment are their own choice.

They are going to be really sorry in coming years once establishment changed and all the "kartoots" of current establishment come out like has happened during and after Zia, Musharraf and Bajwa's era. Establishment will find new touts and will throw away these used tissue papers like we saw post-No Confidence Movement. All Pro-establishment Chamchas journalists were thrown under the bus once policy changed. Same is bound to happen again. It is not the question of if, it is question of When.

After wining the war, Pakistan’s military has a support of the public, but the country’s economy and politics are in freefall. The Army, once content with pulling strings behind the scenes, has ditched subtlety altogether and is now openly calling the shots. Instead of protecting democracy, they’ve become the biggest cheerleaders for corrupt and unpopular politicians, pushing Pakistan closer to financial ruin. Their obsession with controlling the government has led to a messy hybrid system—one where handpicked puppets pretend to run things while the economy limps along, surviving only on IMF bailouts. That raises the million-dollar question: What’s the Army actually done to fix Pakistan’s economy? Where are their expert economists? Their track record screams failure, rising debt, bad policies, and a stubborn refusal to let competent leaders take charge.
By removing Imran Khan’s elected government and installing their own favorites, the military has traded short-term control for long-term disaster. The so-called “hybrid system” is really just a cover for military rule, where fake democracy masks their iron grip on policy decisions. Inflation is soaring, poverty is spreading, and the generals don’t seem to have any real plan besides begging for more foreign loans. It’s an ugly paradox—the very institution that claims to protect Pakistan is actually dragging it down with bad governance and political interference. If this continues, the Army’s hunger for power might not just strangle democracy—it could wreck the entire economy.
History won’t be kind to Pakistan’s military establishment. Right now, they’ve got some nationalist support, but that’s only temporary, the harsh realities can’t be hidden forever. Sooner or later, people will wake up to the fact that inflation is crushing them, jobs are disappearing, and businesses are shutting down. When that realization hits, the illusion of stability will crumble.
At this point, the military establishment controls everything. No leader, institution, or voice is strong enough to challenge them. Next on their checklist? A military trial for Imran Khan, where a predetermined verdict will cement their dominance. Whether he’s sentenced to execution or forced into exile under global pressure, the goal isn’t justice. it’s erasing any opposition. Once Khan is out of the picture, they will have fully buried real democracy in Pakistan.
This isn’t about governance anymore—it’s about absolute power, and the consequences for Pakistan’s future are terrifying.

Justice Mandokhail questions PTI joining Sunni Ittehad Council as SC live-streams reserved seats case

Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail questioned the PTI’s decision to merge with the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) during last year’s elections as the Supreme Court’s constitutional bench (CB) heard review pleas against a ruling that had declared the main opposition party eligible for reserved seats.
In its July 12, 2024 short order, eight out of 13 judges ruled that 39 out of a list of 80 MNAs were and are the returned candidates of the PTI, setting it to emerge as the single largest party in the National Assembly.
However, the ruling had not been implemented by the National Assembly, while the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had raised some objections. The review petitions against the SC order had been filed by the PML-N, the PPP and the ECP.
An 11-member CB led by Justice Aminuddin Khan resumed the hearing today after Justices Ayesha A. Malik and Aqeel Ahmed Abbasi had dismissed the review petitions on the first day of hearings.
The CB live-streamed its proceedings for the first time today, after accepting the SIC’s application for it last week. The hearing was live-streamed on the SC’s YouTube channel.
The other 10 members of the bench were Justices Jamal Khan Mandokhail, Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi, Musarrat Hilali, Naeem Akhter Afghan, Shahid Bilal Hassan, Muhammad Hashim Khan Kakar, Salahuddin Panhwar, Aamer Farooq and Ali Baqar Najafi.
During today’s hearing, Justice Mandokhail observed that it was not a political party that contested the elections but rather its candidates.
He further noted that the problem of reserved seats would not have arisen had the PTI-backed independent candidates not joined the SIC — a decision former premier Imran Khan’s party took after having its election symbol revoked by the SC just a month before the polls.
Senior counsel Makhdoom Ali Khan appeared on behalf of PML-N and PPP women candidates affected by the July 2024 ruling and concluded his arguments.
ECP counsel Sikandar Bashir Mohmand and PML-N lawyer Barrister Haris Azmat also informed the court that they had submitted their written responses. PPP’s Senator Farooq H. Naek said he would file his party’s response tomorrow. Subsequently, the hearing was adjourned till tomorrow (Tuesday).
Initially, a full-strength 13-member CB led by Justice Aminuddin took up the review pleas on May 6. However, Justices Ayesha and Abbasi declared the applications as inadmissible and were not part of the subsequent proceedings, with the CB head judge noting they had stepped back voluntarily.
Justice Ayesha had formally complained to Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Yahya Afridi about her dissenting order not being uploaded to the SC’s website.
In her judgement, she had criticised the ECP for not implementing the earlier order, observing that it would “not only undermine the authority of the Supreme Court but also erode the foundational values of democracy itself”.

Why tag me bro? He's having shughal mela so let him enjoy.
By the way, isn't that what Cartoon-e-Azam Imran Khan tried to do by locking up everyone and declaring, "meh in sab ko rulahu ga". But he's now suffering Allah Ta'Allah's lannat today.
