#PM Nawaz Sharif

[BBC is UK State Media]

Pakistan's powerful army chief has urged the country to leave "anarchy and polarisation" behind as two ex-prime ministers declared victory in an election that has defied expectations.

With most results in, independent candidates linked to jailed former PM Imran Khan have won most seats.

But Nawaz Sharif, another ex-PM widely seen as having the army's backing, has urged others to join him in coalition.

Officials have also rejected Western criticism of how the election was run.[...]

Mr Khan released an AI-generated video message rejecting his rival's claim and calling on supporters to celebrate. He has been jailed on charges of leaking state secrets, corruption and an unlawful marriage and his PTI party was banned from taking part in the polls.

About 100 of the winning candidates are independents and all but eight of them are backed by the PTI, the non-profit Free and Fair Election Network said.

On Saturday PTI chairman Gohar Ali Khan said the party would try to form a government and would start protesting on Sunday if complete election results had not been released by then.

Mr Sharif's PML-N party won 73 seats and he acknowledged that he did not have the numbers to form a government alone, but insisted he could remove the country from difficult times at the head of a coalition.

The PPP of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the son of assassinated PM Benazir Bhutto, got 54 seats and the rest - the largest number of seats - were won by smaller parties and independents.

In Pakistan, the current election is considered to be the most rigged in the country's history. Former PM Imran Khan is in prison and barred from election because the corrupt cronies (Nawaz Sharif, Shabaz Sharif, etc) know they'll never get enough votes to beat him.

Overnight, they forged votes and got the army to threaten voters.

🇵🇰Pakistan stands with Imran Khan. 🇵🇰

[muslimintp-1999-girl]

Praying for a Shehbaz Sharif downfall very soon (the opposition is super strong so I don’t see this lasting at all lmao)

The funny thing is this reaction face of Nawaz Sharif lmao:

Love his disappointed face over not being able to be the PM

But really the main culprits as of now (maybe always had been) are the establishment. Pak army + police is worse than IDF & Indian army coz it is oppressing its own people.

Pakistani Corrupt Military Use Age-Old Tactics To Keep Imran Khan Away From Election

Former Prime Minister, Once Corrupt Military’s Golden Boy, Has Been Sentenced In Two Separate Politically Motivated Cases To 10 and 14 Years

The script seems eerily familiar. Imran Khan, once the golden boy of Pakistan’s Corrupt Powerful Military Establishment, found himself at the receiving end of not one, but two, damning court verdicts this week.

Sentenced to 10 years in jail on Tuesday, and 14 years on Wednesday, the brazen timing of the convictions in two separate cases made one thing abundantly clear: the military will stop at nothing to keep Khan away from Pakistan’s general election, which will be held next week.

It was not so long ago that Khan himself benefited from these age-old tactics utilised repeatedly in Pakistan’s chequered political history. In 2018, when Khan was running for prime minister, it was the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif who had fallen out of grace with the military and found himself facing charges of corruption and being barred from office. Less than two weeks before the election in July 2018, Sharif was sentenced to 10 years in jail.

Now the tables have turned again. Khan has become the military’s harshest critic, confined behind bars, while a cowed Sharif has reconciled with the army generals and his path back to power has been cleared. As allegations of pre-poll rigging have abounded, Sharif is expected to be all but escorted into an election win.

Khan was already banned from running in the election, but the back-to-back convictions and hefty prison sentences speak to the strength of the military’s campaign against its former protege.

Since he was toppled from power in April 2022 – after a vote of no confidence widely acknowledged to have been orchestrated by the military – Khan’s criticisms of the army establishment and its tight control over Pakistani politics has been unprecedented.

Yet his campaign against the military was always doomed to fail given its iron grip, and since August, when Khan was finally arrested, it was made clear that the military would stop at nothing to sideline Khan and destroy his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party.

Any pretence of due judicial process being followed was abandoned entirely at both cases where Khan was sentenced this week. Instead of an open courtroom, the trials were conducted inside the jail where Khan is being detained and his lawyers were not allowed to choose or cross-examine any witnesses.

Given the hefty crackdown on PTI in recent months, including all rallies being shut down by police and all coverage of the party largely banned from news channels, the party is a shadow of its former self, even if it still commands huge support from voters.

For many observers, Khan’s double convictions only serve to confirm that the elections are likely to be among the least credible in Pakistan’s recent history, pushing the country several steps back on its turbulent path towards democracy.

It is reflected too in the unusually muted political campaigning period. As the military has proved to be unafraid to show its hand in “managing” the election, even as it claims to be apolitical, all semblance of a fair fight has dissipated, with parties barely even putting forward a manifesto.

Among Pakistan’s voters, many of whom still revere Khan, there is a sense of anger and apathy. Yet most will echo the same refrain; in Pakistani politics, nothing ever really changes.

Imran Khan, Pakistan Former PM, Sentenced To 14 Years in Prison For Corruption (Politically Motivated Charges)

Ruling against Khan and wife Bushra Bibi comes just a day after a 10-year sentence was handed down, and just before Pakistan goes to the polls in a general election

Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to 14 years in jail in a corruption case, a day after he was given a 10-year sentence for leaking state secrets.

Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, was also handed a 14-year sentence in the case, known as Toshakhana, which accused them both of illegally selling state gifts. The judge also banned them both from holding political office for 10 years.

The sentence, given at a hearing held in the Rawalpindi prison where Khan, 71, is being held, further worsens the plight of the beleaguered former prime minister, who has been in jail since August and is facing more than 100 different charges.

The judge had denied Khan’s lawyers’ request to cross-examine witnesses in the trial and his lawyers were not present on Wednesday, when the sentence was given.

Khan questioned why there was an apparent rush to wrap up the case. “Why are you in a hurry to announce the verdict? I have not even recorded my final statement,” he told the judge, before exiting the courtroom. The verdict was then given without either Khan or Bibi present.

Bibi surrendered to the authorities at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi on Wednesday morning.

The Toshakhana verdict came a day after a special court, also held in prison, found Khan guilty of leaking state secrets in relation to a sensitive diplomatic cable that allegedly went missing in his possession. Khan had described the trial as a sham and lawyers said he would be appealing against the verdict.

The timing of both consecutive convictions was deemed as significant by observers, coming a week before Pakistan goes to the polls in its long-delayed general election. Though Khan is already banned from running, he remains hugely popular among voters.

This is Khan’s second sentencing in the Toshakaha case, which related to allegations that the former prime minister bought several gifts given by rulers and government officials at low prices and sold them on for an undeclared profit. Khan had denied all wrongdoing.

The anti-corruption watchdog alleged that Khan and his wife had received 108 gifts from heads of state and foreign officials, some worth millions of rupees, during his term as prime minister and that many had been illegally kept or sold by the pair.

Khan was initially given a three-year sentence in the case in August, but after a higher court threw out the judgment, the legal proceedings began again after investigators presented fresh evidence relating to jewellery given by the Saudi crown prince and allegedly kept by Khan and his wife.

On Wednesday, the judge issued an even more severe sentence against both Khan and his wife, which included a collective fine of 787m rupees ($2.8m).

Khan, who was toppled from power in 2022, has claimed that the mounting cases against him are politically motivated.

Since he was removed from office in a vote of no-confidence, Khan began to publicly criticise the country’s powerful military, who have long been accused of meddling in politics. He alleged the military leadership bore a “grudge” against him and were orchestrating his imprisonment so he could not run in the elections.

Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has also faced harassment and intimidation, with senior leadership imprisoned or put under pressure to leave the party, while workers have been prevented from campaigning or holding political rallies in the buildup to the election.

A statement by PTI on X after Wednesday’s verdict said Khan and Bibi had faced “yet another kangaroo trial in which no right to defence was given to both”.

The party said there had been a “complete destruction of every existing law in Pakistan in two days”.

CM MARYAM NAWAZ SHARIF CONGRATULATES PM SHEHBAZ SHARIF & ALL STAKEHOLDERS ON PASSAGE OF 26TH CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

Lahore, 21 October 2024:

“This is not an amendment, but a protective wall so that no 'damn fool' can arbitrarily violate dignity of the Constitution, Parliament, elected governments and institutions,” said Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif while congratulating Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, all leaders, democratic forces, coalition parties and people on the approval of the 26th constitutional amendment. She added,”President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Bilawal Bhutto, Maulana Fazlur Rahman, including all leaders, gave priority to the interests of the state and the people instead of politics, and gave parliament its due right to supremacy and sovereignty.”

Madam Chief Minister said,”The 26th amendment is a historic symbol of the unity of the friends of democracy and the constitution.” She added,”The parties who created the constitution of 1973 have once again played a historic role of making it more effective, better and stronger.” She highlighted,”The amendment with the opposition also includes public opinion, which will improve the dignity, reputation and character of the democracy.”

Madam Chief Minister said,”The Judiciary will be free from the characters who kill mandate and position of the elected Prime Ministers with the sword of the theory of convenience and the theory of necessity.” She added,”For the first time, the judiciary itself will be strengthened as an institution against those who kill democracy and elected governments in the darkness of night, which will improve the reputation of the judiciary and will wash away stains in our history.”

Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif said,”The transparent appointment of competent judges on merit will guarantee independence of judiciary and protection of the Constitution.” She added,”The welfare of the people, the real objectives of delivering justice without delay will be achieved.” She flagged,”Salute to the political vision of martyr Ms. Benazir Bhutto and Muhammad Nawaz Sharif.” She underscored,”The efforts of Deputy PM Ishaq Dar, Syed Khurshid Shah, Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar, Sherry Rehman, Naveed Qamar, Kamran Murtaza and all members of the constitutional amendment team are commendable.”

[ad_1] “We can’t change our neighbours, neither can Pakistan nor can India. We should live like good neighbours,” former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said during an interaction with Indian journalists on October 17.  The prime minister’s remark comes after the recent visit by Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar. The three-time prime minister and president of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League (N) urged both nations to engage and move forward collaboratively, according to media reports.  “This is how things should go ahead. We would have liked PM Modi to come, but it was good that the Indian foreign minister came. I have said before that we must pick up the threads of our conversation,” Sharif was quoted in the media. Jaishankar became the first Indian foreign minister to visit Pakistan in the last nine years amid continuing strained ties. The minister had visited Islamabad to attend a Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) conclave. “Bury The Past” “We have spent 70 years in this way (fighting), and we should not let this go on for the next 70 years. We (PML-N governments) have tried hard to work on this relationship to let it go this way. Both sides should sit down and discuss how to go forward,” the 74-year-old was quoted. Sharif considered Jaishankar’s visit as an “an opening and must be taken forward.” “We should not go to the past and should look at the future. It would be better if we bury the past so that we can use the potential between the two countries,” Sharif said. “I think it (Jaishankar’s visit) is an opening and must be taken forward,” he said. Good Ol’ Days! Reminiscing the old times when PM Modi made a surprise pitstop in Lahore on his way back from Kabul in December 2015. “When PM Modi called me from Kabul and asked to wish me for my birthday, I said he was very welcome. He came and met my mother. These are not small gestures, they mean something to us, especially in our countries. We should not overlook them,” he said. Sharif recalled not just PM Modi’s visit but also the visit of then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to Lahore in 1999. “He is still remembered for the Lahore Declaration and his words at the time. I watch the videos of that visit as it feels great remembering the pleasant memories,” Sharif was quoted. The Lahore Declaration was signed on February 21, 1999, following talks between then-Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee and his Pakistani counterpart, Sharif. On Gentleman’s Game- Cricket But apart from politics, something greater connects the two nations: the love for cricket.  Sharif admitted that he would like to travel to India if the two teams play in the final of any major tournament in the neighbouring country. “What do we gain by not sending teams to each other’s countries? They play all over the world, but it is not allowed in our two countries,” he said. When a reporter asked if India should consider sending its team to the Champion’s Trophy, which will be held in Pakistan in February, he said, “You have spoken what is in my heart.” On Trade Ties Sharif wants to resume trade ties between the two countries, not just cricketing ties. “Maybe my thinking is different from others, but I believe we are a potential market for each other. Why should Indian and Pakistani farmers and manufacturers go outside to sell their products? Goods now go from Amritsar to Lahore via Dubai — what are we doing, who is benefitting from this? What should take two hours now takes two weeks,” he said. [ad_2] Source link

Pak Admits Violating Pact With India, Nawaz Sharif Says "Was Our Fault"

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday admitted that Islamabad had "violated" an agreement with India signed by him and ex-prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 1999, in an apparent reference to the Kargil misadventure by Gen Pervez Musharraf.

"On May 28, 1998, Pakistan carried out five nuclear tests. After that Vajpayee Saheb came here and made an agreement with us. But we violated that agreement…it was our fault," Sharif told a meeting of the PML-N general council that elected him president of the ruling party six years after he was disqualified by the Supreme Court.

After a historic summit here, Nawaz Sharif and Ata Bihari Vajpayee signed the Lahore Declaration on February 21, 1999. The agreement that talked about a vision of peace and stability between the two countries signalled a breakthrough. Still, a few months later Pakistani intrusion in the Kargil district in Jammu and Kashmir led to the Kargil conflict.

"President Bill Clinton had offered Pakistan USD 5 billion to stop it from carrying out nuclear tests but I refused. Had (former prime minister) Imran Khan like a person been on my seat he would have accepted Clinton's offer," Sharif said on a day when Pakistan marked the 26th anniversary of its first nuclear tests.

Sharif, 74, talked about how he was removed from the office of the prime minister in 2017 on a false case by then Chief Justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar. He said all cases against him were false while the cases against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder leader Imran Khan were true.

He also talked about the role of former ISI chief Gen Zahirul Islam in toppling his government in 2017 to bring Imran Khan into power. He asked Imran Khan to deny that he was not launched by the ISI.

"I ask Imran not to blame us (of being patronised by the army) and tell whether Gen Islam had talked about bringing the PTI into power," he said and added Khan would sit at the feet of the military establishment.

The three-time premier talked about receiving a message from Gen Islam to resign from the office of prime minister (in 2014). "When I refused, he threatened to make an example of me," he said.

Sharif also praised his younger brother Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for standing by his side through thick and thin. "Efforts were made to create differences between us but Shehbaz remained loyal to me. Even Shehbaz was asked to become PM in the past and leave me but he declined," he said.

Imran threatens nationwide protest over hike in power, gas tariff  

Previous State head Imran Khan hosts cautioned the decision get-together to send off a cross country fight in the event that there is an expansion in the power and gas duty. The previous cricketer and establishing director of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) has been in prison for the dubious instance of selling gifts. Yet, being in prison has not made him quiet. He has been conveying his viewpoints on the ongoing political and financial circumstances of the country.

While tending to the media from Adiala prison, he said Pakistan's economy couldn't be settled except if the public authority follows the public order. He believed that further tax assessment would undermine the economy during June and July. He said as the greater part of the income gathered through charges strayed into the red assistance, financial backers were hesitant to put resources into Pakistan.

Consulting with the Pakistani media about the procedures in the £190 million debasement case, Khan said he wouldn't look for an arrangement to leave the nation like President Asif Ali Zardari and previous PM Nawaz Sharif. He referenced the freedom of Sharif in the Toshakhana vehicle reference and Zardari was looking for resistance for this situation.

He raised the issue of Hassan Nawaz, child of Nawaz Sharif, who offered property of £51.48 million to Malik Riaz; there was no activity against him in spite of Catch setting up another Toshakhana reference against himself.

He dove into the issues of Malik Riaz, a land big shot and said the benefits of £37.18 million were procured by the High Court.

As indicated by Khan, the UK government froze Malik Riaz's cash for being a dubious exchange. On the off chance that he had recorded a suit under the steady gaze of a common court in the UK, the cash would have been stuck in prosecution for a long time, he said, guaranteeing that about £79.63 million Pakistani residents were at that point caught in legal disputes in different nations.

This was the explanation, he said, the bureau gave a gesture for an out-of-court settlement and the arrangement was kept private on the demand of the UK's Public Wrongdoing Organization.

Khan made sense of that a show-cause notice was given to PTI's Sher Afzal Khan Marwat for over and over disregarding party discipline. Regardless of various admonitions to stick to party strategy, Marwat proceeded to reprimand party pioneers openly. Moreover, Marwat offered a dubious comment during the visit of a Saudi designation to Pakistan, fueling what is going on. In any case, Khan recognized Marwat's important commitments to the party and demonstrated that there would be no further issues assuming Marwat followed party discipline from now on.
