“Pakistan on the brink”<br /><br />Raoof Hasan, a former special adviser to the deeply embattled former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, says his country is teetering on the brink and one push could set it off downhill.<br /><br />Hasan, a well-known political and security strategist as well as the founder and chief executive of the Islamabad-based Regional Peace Institute, paints a profoundly dire picture of a country in economic ruin and grave political morass in the aftermath of Imran Khan’s arrest and the subsequent explosion of violent protests against the country’s military and ruling establishment.<br /><br />He describes the current government of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif as unconstitutional, arguing that elections must be held in October as mandated. <br /><br />Hasan spoke to Mayank Chhaya Reports from Islamabad to offer a sharply detailed view of the current ferment.
