Imran Khan and Pakistani Military Clash Over Political Power
TL;DR
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has accused the country's military and intelligence agency of trying to destroy his political party, saying he has "no doubt" he will be tried in a military court and thrown in jail. Khan has hinted previously at the military's hand in a crackdown on his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, but his comments in an interview at his Lahore home on Saturday night were the most blunt yet. The political unrest has increased uncertainty in the nuclear-armed country of 220 million, which is also beset by financial turmoil.
