    Just met this poor, v emotional woman outside parliament at 3am, saying her heart was broken by Imran Khan’s ousting, and that she would never accept this new “government of thieves” Imran Khan will likely remain a formidable force in Pakistani politics

    What's behind the mass exodus of senior figures from Imran Khan's party? I spoke to a number of politicians who have publicly quit: Asked one if a carrot or stick was used? "It was all stick" They said there were threats to disappear them & references to their family's safety
