Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has accused former Prime Minister Imran Khan of being the “main architect” of the May 9 attacks
Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has accused former Prime Minister Imran Khan of being the “main architect” of the May 9 attacks on government and military installations. Sanaullah said that Khan had personally planned the attacks and that there was evidence to prove his involvement. He also said that Khan would be tried in a military court for his crimes.
The May 9 attacks were sparked by Khan’s arrest on corruption charges. Khan’s supporters responded by taking to the streets and attacking government and military property. The violence left eight people dead and hundreds injured.
Sanaullah’s accusations against Khan are serious, and if they are proven, he could face a long prison sentence. However, Khan has denied any involvement in the attacks, and he has vowed to fight the charges against him.
The May 9 attacks have further polarized Pakistan’s political landscape. Khan’s supporters see him as a martyr who is being persecuted by the government, while his opponents see him as a dangerous demagogue who is trying to undermine the country’s democratic institutions.
It remains to be seen how the May 9 attacks will ultimately be resolved. However, they have left a deep scar on Pakistan’s society.
