Political conflict is not new in Pakistan. Is this going to start a new conflict? There are similar indications. The distance between Shahbaz government and its partner Pakistan Peoples Party is increasing. A section of informed circles believe that the opposition parties can form a joint platform at any moment. Due to which the pressure is increasing on the Sharif government.
Recently, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said his party will not support any legislation passed by the government in the Senate or the National Assembly until the grievances of the party are addressed. As a result, political pressure is increasing within the ruling coalition. Meanwhile, the political atmosphere has become more heated due to the recent Kashmir elections. Alleging election irregularities and collusion, the PPP said it would challenge the results through legal proceedings.
Meanwhile, Shahbaz Sarkar's name is Imran Khan. The former Prime Minister of Pakistan has been behind bars since October 2023. The lawyer claimed that his health had deteriorated in prison. The vision in the right eye is significantly reduced. After this, the Supreme Court in an order on Tuesday directed the authorities to conduct a health check-up within 48 hours on the appointment of the former Prime Minister of Pakistan at the Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad. The PTI leader was taken to the hospital. However, the news is that he has been returned to prison life with the opinion of doctors. However, the pressure on Shahbaz has increased manifold in the whole issue.
His sister visited Imran in jail on Wednesday before he was shifted to hospital. He also met his wife Bushra Bibi. This is what the media claims. It is known that Imran's sister met him for fifteen minutes. However, what exactly happened between them in the conference room of the jail was not made public. The Supreme Court has ordered that Imran's issue cannot be politicized in any way. So it is believed that his family is keeping quiet out of caution. But even if they are silent, there are certain informed circles that this whole issue will put pressure on the Shahbaz government in the political climate of Pakistan.
