Pakistan News: For the last one year (2023), Pakistan's politics is going on like a film. It has everything: action, suspense, drama. Where was the hope that Pakistan would come out of the current political turmoil before the general elections? But here neither the political struggle has stopped nor the elections have been held yet. At present, among the two major political changes that have taken place in the year 2023, the most important are the arrest of Imran Khan and the return of Nawaz Sharif to his country. These two big events will decide the political future of Pakistan in the coming elections.

In fact, the arrest of former Prime Minister of Pakistan and former Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan was a major event of this year. Because Pakistan was enraged as soon as Imran was arrested. Imran Khan's supporters protested fiercely across the country. Incidents of arson and vandalism also took place in many cities. In which people died, many people were injured and thousands of people were also arrested.

Pakistan's dark chapter

Let us tell you that Imran Khan was speaking strongly against the then government of Pakistan for many months. He was finally arrested on the evening of May 9, 2023. The uproar that broke out in Pakistan after his arrest has never happened here before. Even the Pakistani Army had described the protest on May 9 as a dark chapter.

While attacking Imran Khan, the then Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had said that revenge in politics does not yield good results. Sharif had said that Imran Khan has violated the law in the country. They did a scam of Rs 60 billion. He had said that whatever work the enemy did not do against the country, PTI did it.

Nawaz Sharif's return home

At the same time, politics has heated up in Pakistan after the return of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. In such a situation, Imran Khan expressed apprehension that an attempt could be made to kill him by giving him slow poison in jail. Imran said that this could be done to him because he had refused to leave the country.

His entry has come at a time when general elections are going to be held in the next few months. In such a situation, the impact of Nawaz Sharif's return home will also be seen on the politics of Pakistan. Because his staunch opponent Imran Khan is in jail in the Toshakhana case.

General elections in pakistan

It is believed that general elections can be held in Pakistan between February 2024. However, at present the reins of Pakistan are in the hands of the caretaker Prime Minister. Talking about Nawaz Sharif, even after being away for four years, the political hold of his party Pakistan Muslim League-N has not weakened. Despite the absence of Nawaz Sharif, daughter Maryam Nawaz and brother Shahbaz Sharif brought the party back to power by ousting powerful leader Imran Khan from power. Nawaz Sharif fits perfectly in the current condition of Pakistan.

Earlier in 2017, the Supreme Court had disqualified him for life for not declaring his salary.

On this, Lahore High Court allowed him to go to London for four weeks. But instead of four weeks, he returned from London after four years.
