Pakistan considers treason case, PTI ban for Imran Khan over "national threat"

  • Pakistan's civilian-military establishment is debating treason charges against former PM Imran Khan and banning his PTI party.
  • Khan is labeled a national threat for allegedly crossing "red lines" and destabilizing Pakistan's diplomatic and internal security.
  • Concerns stem from Khan's access to classified information (strategic, nuclear) during his premiership and his refusal to yield to military pressure.
  • Military officials accuse Khan's family of using foreign platforms, including Indian media, to defame Pakistan's institutions.
  • The potential ban and treason case signal a deeper crackdown, strengthening the military's grip amid economic struggles.

Why It Matters: Military's move against Imran Khan and PTI signals deepening political crisis in Pakistan.
