Pakistan’s Political Crisis (Islamabad Today)
Supreme Court, Economy, Ruling Government. The host for this show is Hamzah Rifaat Hussain. The guest is Maleeha Lodhi.
As Pakistan continues to witness a persistent political impasse between the ruling government and the Supreme Court over scheduling of elections, we speak to Pakistan’s former Ambassador at the United Nations, the United States, the United Kingdom and Columnist at Dawn, Dr. Maleeha Lodhi on what can be expected in the world’s sixth most populous country as the stalemate continues and an economic meltdown takes place.
The discussion centers on the origins of the political crisis and what according to Dr. Lodhi is the way out of the imbroglio. Questions also center on perceptions on whether the ruling government is trying to clip the powers of the Supreme Court and its ability to take suo moto notices, for political gains. The impact of the political impasse on Pakistan’s economy is also discussed as well as whether talks between the government and the opposition will bear fruit.
