Before and after this movement, Prime Minister Imran Khan seems to be very busy. The reason for his busy schedule is the meetings that his government and party have been organizing for some time now.

Prime Minister Imran Khan's recent meetings and his speeches set a special course. And the point is that in the political context of Pakistan, whenever a Prime Minister is under political pressure, his biggest weapon is such rallies.

Senior journalist and political analyst Sohail Warraich confirms that "there is no doubt that Pakistan's political system has always been fragile. And all the prime ministers who have been elected here so far have sooner or later faced stiff political opposition.

Talking to Urdu News, he said, "Prime Minister Imran Khan has been going through similar situations before his predecessors."

All the prime ministers have a common denominator that they have tried to express their views in public after the difficult situation.

According to Sohail Warraich, what Imran Khan is doing at the moment is not new in the politics of this country. The first Prime Minister of Pakistan Khan Liaquat Ali Khan was killed while addressing a similar rally in Rawalpindi. He was expressing his views in front.

Interestingly, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, who became the Prime Minister after the first general election of Pakistan, also faced severe opposition in the 1970s, when he too left the PM's house and joined the people and changed his political position. He tried to put it in front of the people through his speeches.

After Bhutto, General Zia-ul-Haq came to power and after his death in an accident, when Pakistan's political system began to regain order, Benazir Bhutto became the Prime Minister. 

"When the IJI alliance against Benazir Bhutto began to take root in the late 1980s, she too took to the streets," he said. It was not only Benazir Bhutto but later Nawaz Sharif also went through this situation.

Sohail Warraich said, “The important thing is that when General Pervez Musharraf removed Nawaz Sharif from power in 1999 and he started the government through a new political party in 2002, there was a big political front against him in 2007. Stood up. '

To counter this, Pervez Musharraf held rallies and waved his fists. If you remember, they waved a Mecca at a rally in Islamabad on May 12, 2007, when dozens of people were killed during a protest in Karachi.

Explaining from the past, Sohail Warraich says that when the Panama case was made against Nawaz Sharif and he became convinced that now the opposition forces want to remove him from power, he started the procession at the same time. Given. '

He also announced public packages and warned those who conspired against him anonymously. This is what Imran Khan is doing now. There is no doubt that he is under pressure at the moment and he is conveying his heartfelt message to the concerned circles through rallies.

When Sohail Warraich was asked why the reaction of all the Prime Ministers of Pakistan has always been the same as a result of political pressure, he said, “There is a simple reason. Whenever the Prime Minister goes out and puts his point of view before the people through a meeting, it only means that he has realized that a big political ploy has been made against him. In such a situation, it becomes very important for them to get the status of political martyrdom.
