Launching an attack on Pakistan’s ruling coalition and the country’s institutions, incarcerated prime minister Imran Khan compared the current situation with the era of military ruler Yahya Khan and alleged that the country’s institutions are being “destroyed”.

A social media post on Khan’s X account read, “The country is currently experiencing Yahya Khan’s (martial law dictator) rule all over again. Yahya Khan conducted an operation against the country’s largest political party. Yahya Khan Part Two is doing the same and destroying the country’s institutions.”
