Hamid Mir, a Pakistani journalist and news anchor, made some shocking revelations about Imran Khan and the National Assembly on August 8, 2023. He claimed that Khan had used his position as prime minister to pressure the National Assembly to pass legislation that was favorable to him and his party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Mir also alleged that Khan had threatened to dissolve the National Assembly if the legislation was not passed.
Mir’s revelations have been met with mixed reactions. Some people have accused him of being biased against Khan and the PTI, while others have praised him for his courage in speaking out against the government. The National Assembly has not yet commented on Mir’s allegations.
Here are some of the specific revelations that Mir made:
- Khan had pressured the National Assembly to pass a bill that would have legalized the PTI’s use of foreign funding.
- Khan had threatened to dissolve the National Assembly if the bill was not passed.
- Khan had used his position as prime minister to appoint loyalists to key positions in the National Assembly.
- Khan had interfered in the National Assembly’s proceedings on several occasions.
Mir’s revelations have raised serious questions about Khan’s conduct as prime minister. If the allegations are true, then Khan would have abused his power and violated the constitution. It is also possible that Khan’s actions could have undermined the independence of the National Assembly.
It remains to be seen how the National Assembly will respond to Mir’s revelations. However, the allegations have certainly cast a shadow over Khan’s government and his political career.
