akistan's military-backed establishment has been tightening the screws on former Prime Minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party since he was ousted in a no-confidence motion in April. Khan has repeatedly accused the military of engineering his ouster and has called for fresh elections.
The crackdown on PTI has included the arrest of several of its leaders, the freezing of its bank accounts, and the raiding of its offices. The military has denied any involvement in Khan's ouster, but the timing of the crackdown has raised suspicions.
The crackdown has further polarized Pakistan's already divided political landscape. Khan's supporters have accused the military of trying to stifle dissent, while the military's supporters have accused Khan of trying to incite violence.
The political crisis in Pakistan is likely to continue for some time. It remains to be seen whether the military will be able to force Khan to accept his ouster and step down from politics, or whether he will be able to rally his supporters and force the military to hold fresh elections.
