For international media outlets and people interested in the news about Imran Khan, I wanted to write down easily verifiable facts that should alarm the community immediately 🧵🧵 1) Imran Khan was the first Prime Minister in Pakistan who had full support of both army and judiciary unlike any previous Prime Minister. He still enjoys support within the army’s retirees and both current and recited judiciary leaders.

How PTI’s popularity was orchestrated in 2018 elections and why it is not as high as the media is projecting. I want to write a thread on just two constituencies from the area of Rawalpindi and Islamabad to explain my point.

🧵🧵🧵 NA 57 - Rawalpindi 1 is the hometown of former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. He lost against PTI’s Sadaqat Ali Abbasi. Sadaqat sb bagged 136249 votes while SKA got 124703. How did this constituency turn in the favour of PTI? The simple answer is ECP’s gerrymandering.

After receiving a lot of responses on my subsidy/concession take, I would like to just share my knowledge of the topic and request people to correct me or suggest any books/papers that can educate me.

🧵🧵 I think working in Pak as a bureaucrat has been really tough. Especially in Imran Khan’s tenure and also after such a slow wage increase during currency devaluation. As a society, we have a respect level for “Babus” and I think 30 crore/year for Lahore gymkhana isn’t the worst
