Political analyst Muneeb Farooq has claimed that the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan’s disconnect with his party leadership is part of a well-planned strategy.
Appearing on the Geo News programme ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath,’ Muneeb Farooq said, “There is a well-thought strategy behind disconnecting PTI leadership with Imran Khan.”
“It is done by design and strategy, and it has worked for the government and establishment,” he added.
Citing the possibility of a permanent disconnection between Imran and party leadership, Muneeb Farooq remarked, “Powerful and well-connected people believe that Imran Khan’s genuine jail [sentence] has just begun.”
Responding to the incumbent government’s effort and attention in tabling the twenty-sixth constitutional amendment, Farooq declared it to be akin to World War Three: “The first draft of the constitutional amendment was like an atom bomb.”
He maintained that constitutional amendments would be passed in phases and added that the new Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) and judge appointment method will be considered of paramount importance in phase one.
Farooq concluded by saying, “Till this time, the Federal Constitution Court seems to be established soon.”
