Detailed Analysis Of Pakistan Democratic Movement

As the Pakistan Democratic Movement headed by JUI-F’s Maulana Fazlur Rehman, PML-N’s Maryam Nawaz Sharif and PPP’s Bilawal Bhutto Zardari gathers momentum, mainstream coverage of these developments remains highly polarised. The PTI led government brands the leadership of PDM as self-serving corruption-tainted politicians looking for a deal, while the PDM leadership terms Imran Khan’s government as selected, while also criticizing the role of the military establishment in politics and elections. Both of these extreme sides are mirrored in mainstream news media as well as social media.

In this media landscape characterized by a lack of in-depth analysis of both PDM’s movement and the failures of PTI’s government, this dialogue seeks to address this shortcoming by critically examining the Pakistan Democratic Movement, Imran Khan’s failures as well as the military establishment’s unconstitutional interference in Pakistan’s political scene.
