Pakistan's jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan launched a fierce verbal assault on Army Chief General Asim Munir on Friday. Khan accused the military leader of specifically targeting women in his family and alleged that the country is being governed under what he termed the "Dacoits and Duffers Alliance." This scathing attack represents a significant escalation in tensions between the imprisoned former premier and Pakistan's military establishment. Khan's inflammatory rhetoric highlights the deepening political crisis gripping Pakistan, where civil-military relations remain severely strained. The accusations against the Army chief underscore Khan's continued defiance despite his imprisonment and reflect the ongoing power struggle between civilian political leadership and military authorities that has dominated Pakistan's turbulent political landscape.
