Last Thursday’s failed attempt to assassinate former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has resulted in mass demonstrations throughout the country.
The 70 year old former International cricketer turned politician has accused Major General Faisal Naseer of colluding with current prime minister Shehbaz Sharif to try and kill him.
Khan was ousted from power in April but is now seeking to make a comeback. So what’s next for him and Pakistan?
We ask London based writer, journalist and film-maker Tariq Ali, who has written more than two-dozen books on world history and politics. His most recent book is Winston Churchill, His Times, His Crimes. Tariq Ali was born in Lahore prior to Pakistan and India's partition.
