Pakistan: Battlelines draws between Imran, Gen Asim Munir

Following the May 9 attack on the Pakistan Army and its spearhead institutions in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa by supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan, the Shehbaz Sharif government is expected to pass a resolution on the Cabinet to try the rioters and their leaders under the Army Act and the Official Secrets Act.

With the Pakistan President and the Supreme Court openly supporting Niazi and tying the hands of the Sharif government, the Pakistan Army, led by General Asim Munir, has begun the process of dismantling tye PTI and isolating their mercurial leader in recent days.

Feeling the heat from the Army and the ISI, which former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto once described as a state within a state, several powerful party office-bearers close to Niazi have either left or are about to leave the party.
