Imran Khan and Pakistani Military Clash Over Political Power

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.

Arrest of Sikh Separatist Leader and Wife Raises Constitutional Concerns in India

The National Security Act has been invoked against self-styled Khalistani preacher Amritpal Singh, who is believed to be a pawn of Pakistan's ISI to revive militancy in Punjab. He is accused of abduction, assault, vandalism of gurdwaras, and promoting gun culture through his private militia, Anandpur Khalsa Fauj. He is also alleged to have links with proscribed outfit Sikhs for Justice and UK-based pro-Khalistan elements. Amritpal and his aides have been sent to Dibrugarh central jail in Assam to rule out the possibility of a jailbreak and to prevent them from radicalizing other jailed criminals.

Singh's Waris Punjab De outfit has sparked protests at Indian embassies abroad, and he has called for an armed rebellion against democratically elected governments for the "ultimate goal" of Khalistan.
