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”.

How R&AW's SECRET Operation Once KILLED Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif

[jobaaj]

🔴BREAKING NEWS: Pakistan has admitted its fault! Nawaz Sharif claims Pakistan broke its agreement with India!! 🤔 What happened?

Former Pak PM Nawaz Sharif has announced that:

Pakistan breached a peace agreement with India in 1999!

After Pakistan’s nuclear tests in 1998:

Former Indian PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee went to Pakistan.

Both PMs signed a peace agreement.

Sharif claims:

Pakistan broke this agreement.

He admitted this breach was Pakistan's fault!

The Lahore Declaration was a peace agreement between India and Pakistan that was signed on February 21, 1999.

This was a landmark moment for Indo-Pak relations where both countries stressed several important points:

Condemnation of terrorism.

Dealing with nuclear weapons.

The importance of dialogue.

Efforts on the Kashmir issue.

However, three months later:

Pakistani forces launched ‘Operation Badr’.

They infiltrated Indian territory to force India to negotiate on the Kashmir dispute.

In response:

India launched ‘Operation Vijay’.

The Kargil War ended after 2 months of fighting with India’s victory!

😲Interestingly: ▪ This could be due to growing pressure for trade with India! ▪ Pakistani businessmen have been asking the Sharif government to resume trade talks with India. ▪ Pakistan had suspended diplomatic relations and trade with India after the latter revoked Article 370 in 2019. ▪ Now Pakistan has to restart trade with India to help its economy, although India has no reason to do the same! ❓Is Nawaz Sharif trying to cozy up to India? Or is he genuinely apologetic?? Follow Jobaaj Stories (the media arm of Jobaaj.com Group for more)

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.

Imran Khan Defiant As Pakistan’s Main Opposition Parties Announce Coalition

— Carl Arrindell

Jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister, Imran Khan remains defiant as Pakistan’s main opposition parties announce coalition and conspire to block his party from assuming power.

On Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th February, as the final results of the Pakistan General election were being declared, thousands of supporters of Pakistan's imprisoned former prime minister, Imran Khan and members of other political parties blocked main highways and began strike action as they gathered in Pakistan’s capital Karachi, outside the provisional election office to protest alleged rigging of last week's elections.

‍Violent Clashes Between PTI Supporters and Police in Rawalpindi and Lahore

Violent clashes between protesters and the police and security forces were also reported in Rawalpindi city and in Lahore, where reports suggest that police fired tear gas and made baton charges at protesters in order to force their dispersal.

Imran Khan supporters gather outside provisional electoral offices in Karachi

The nationwide swelling of public support and protests for Imran Khan and his PTI party, did not prevent the opposition parties - Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PM-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), from announcing their intention to form a coalition and to forming the next government. Imran Khan has pledged never to form an alliance with the same two parties, which he alleges conspired to overturn his government and to have him removed from power in a vote of no confidence in April 2022.

Despite a failure to secure a majority of seats in Pakistan’s parliament - the largest number of which was secured by affiliates of Imran Khan’s now outlawed PTI party, the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PM-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), on Tuesday announced that they have come to an agreement to form a new coalition to govern the country. The most senior figures in Pakistan’s Army – which have for several decades stood resolutely behind Sharif and the PM-N, have made it known that they will be supporting the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz, in its collaboration to achieve a majority with other smaller parties.

Widespread Electoral Rigging is Alleged to Have Robbed PTI Affiliates of Their Seats

Imran Khan’s party affiliates, who were forced to run as independents, according to officially declared poll figures, won 93 out of 265 seats in the lower house of the National Assembly. In the early hours of the election polling, newspaper outlets had reported the PTI affiliates as having secured as many as 150 seats – which would have given them a clear majority. Independent candidates across the country have insisted that seats have been stolen from them in a programme of election rigging which is rife. Yasmin Rashid, who ran as an independent ,was just one of many who believe that they won their seats and that the official polls do not reflect the truth. They allege that they were victims of electoral interference.

PTI Has Been Given the 'People's Mandate to Form the Next Government'

Nawaz Sharif’s party – the Pakistan Muslim League –Nawaz, managed to secure just 75 seats, with the Pakistan People’s Party, or PPP, led by Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, securing 54 seats. PTI supporters and leadership insist that they have been given a ‘peoples mandate’t o form the next government, despite not having achieved the required 134 seats to achieve a majority.

Imran Khan Calls on His Supporters to Celebrate a Victory

In a statement issued by Imran Khan post the results, the former Prime Minister called on his supporters to celebrate a victory, which he said was achieved ‘despite a crackdown on his party’. He said:

‘PTI will never compromise on people’s will, and I have categorically instructed my party against engaging with any political party that has robbed people’s mandate, including PPP, PMLN & MQM. As the people of Pakistan have clearly pronounced their verdict, there is a dire need for democracy and fairness in Pakistan’s elections. I warn against the misadventure of forming a government with stolen votes. Such daylight robbery will not only be a disrespect to the citizens, but will also push the country’s economy further into a downward spiral’

'You Will Have To Bring Khan Back'

Latif Khosa, the Leader of Imran Khan’s PTI Party also added his voice to that of the jailed former premier, he said:

'No assembly or parliament can function without Imran Khan. No government can be formed without Imran Khan. So rid yourself of the misunderstanding that by minusing Imran they will be able to operate a democracy or the government. You will have to bring Imran Khan back.’

PTI officials assert that it was banned from hosting election political rallies, that it was prevented from fielding any polling agents on election day and was subject to internet restrictions. These issues they argue, underpin PTI’s claims that the elections were anything but free and fair. Independents affiliated to Imran Khan’s party PTI, won the most seats in Pakistan’s lower parliament, although as independents they are not deemed to represent a party which according to the constitution can form a government. Nevertheless, the size of their electoral success came as a shock to most political pundits, given the overwhelming nature of restrictions imposed on them.

‘Corrupt to Their Cores Opposition Parties’ Entered Coalition Talks as No Single Party Had Achieved Enough Seats to Win a Majority.

Khan has made it clear that he will never enter coalition talks with PML-N (Pakistan Muslim League) and PPP (Pakistan Peoples Party)

Imran Khan has been prevented from holding public office for ten years and from running as a candidate in the elections, following his convictions for treason, corruption or ‘graft’ as it is known and also for having an un-Islamic marriage. The three convictions resulting from court cases in the last six months include a 10-year tariff for corruption (selling state gifts), 10 years for treason (revealing confidential state information – the ‘Cypher’ case) and 14 years imprisonment for both Khan and his wife for false marriage. He still faces more than 150 other indictments in the courts.

Imran Khan's Sister, Aleema Khan

Speaking to the press, on Monday, Imran Khan's sister, Aleema Khan, suggested that her brother had inspired a revolution from behind bars and that the elections were rife with voter fraud. She spoke of the outlawing of the cricket bat symbol which had been carried by many who were illiterate as a symbol of support for Imran Khan. She urged independent PTU affiliates to protest outside returning offices and recover their stolen seats. She said:

'It wasn't Imran Khan's PTI votes that they took away, they took away the right of 15 million people to recognise the symbol. That bat was the symbol that 15 million illiterate people recognised the candidate with the symbol...The time has come that you have to respect the people\s vote.'

When asked about possible collaboration with the other parties, she added:

'If you go and sit with people who were participants in the abuse, the human rights abuse, the women - the way they were abused, the homes that were broken into, the children that were threatened, I would never expect them to be supported'

PTI Affiliates 'Have to Recover Their Stolen Seats and Then You Form a Government'

Asked about Nawaz Sharif's declaration of victory she said:

'As a Pakistani, first tell him to give back all the seats he has stolen...Nawaz Sharif has been sent back - he spends four years in London, they plunder all our wealth and I think its a big insult to Pakistanis that we accept people like that, we don't. I've been embarrassed for people to think that this is acceptable to us - it isnt acceptable to Pakistanis. They were helpless in challenging, because they had no alternative. And that's what Imran Khan was, an alternative. They have to recover their stolen seats and then you form a government'
