Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was hanged on the witnesses of two approvers. The current PTI crackdown involves the search for an approver like Masood Mehmood, Raza Rumi says.

While speaking at the Naya Daur TV programme Khabar Say Aagay, Mubashir Bukhari said that PPP co-chairman Asif Zardari is in Lahore where he is scheduled to meet a number of people.

He added that some people will be joining the PPP in a day or two. "The people involved in the May 9 mayhem will be 'dry-cleaned' after they have addressed their pressers; this won't go on for long."

Nadia Naqi observed that PTI chairman Imran Khan seemed in a defensive position from the past few days, but he now seems to have regained some confidence.

"It seems Imran has renewed hopes pinned to the judiciary. If the army still thinks of May 9 attacks as unforgivable, it should punish the perpetrators even if people depart PTI."
'Bluff' has a special place in the former premier's politics. "Imran hopes help from either abroad or via IMF," analysts say.

She added that the ruling PML-N, on May 9 attacks, is looking at short-term gains, while overlooking long-term consequences.

Murtaza Solangi said that 'bluff' has a special place in the former premier's politics. "Imran hopes help from either abroad or via IMF."

Hassan Ayub said that it seems unlikely for the three judges to detach themselves from the audio leaks case.

Earlier today, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that PTI chairman Imran Khan will be tried in a military court for his role in the May 9 attacks at the sensitive government and military installations.

When asked categorically if the former premier was facing the prospects of a trial in a military court, he said, “Absolutely, why shouldn’t he [be tried]?”

Flagship Naya Daur TV show Khabar Say Aagay streams every Monday to Saturday at 9pm.
