Pakistan’s anti-corruption agency arrested former Prime Minister Imran Khan at Islamabad High Court on Tuesday, in a dramatic move that threatens fresh turmoil in the nuclear-armed country as…
His arrest comes at a time when ordinary Pakistanis are reeling from the worst economic crisis in decades, with record-high inflation and anemic growth. It also comes amid a dispute with the military dating to 2021.An International Monetary Fund bailout package has been delayed for months even though foreign exchange reserves are barely enough to cover a month’s imports.
Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said in a Tweet that Khan was arrested by the National Accountability Bureau after he did not appear before it “despite notices”. In most of the cases, Khan faces being barred from holding public office if convicted, with a national election scheduled for November. Despite the rebuke, Khan hit back on Tuesday morning, repeating his allegations and adding that the same officer, Inter Services Intelligence Major-General Faisal Naseer, was responsible for the murder of a renowned Pakistani journalist in Kenya in October.
