In Pakistan today, the country’s powerful generals have turned politics into a zero-sum game — a battle for survival in which the rise of Imran Khan would mark the end of the military’s 78-year-long dominance.

Prime Minister Imran Khan has been declared “Man of the Year” from the Muslim world by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre, an independent research entity affiliated with an international Islamic non-governmental, independent institute headquartered in Jordan.

Imran Khan was catapulted to global fame as a World Cup cricket champion, but the man known in the West as a celebrity playboy is now seeking to lead Pakistan as a populist, religiously devout, anti-corruption reformist. Let’s take a look at the many faces of the man.

ISLAMABAD:

The world is widely acknowledging Prime Minister Imran Khan’s smart lockdown strategy, mainly focusing balance between lives and livelihood, as the country witnessed a steep decline from around 6,800 Covid-19 patients a day in mid-June to 1,209 cases during the last 24 hours across the country.

After losing his mother to cancer in 1985, Imran Khan dreamed of constructing a free cancer hospital to help others. Imran Khan spent significant time and effort raising money for this cause because he was committed to building a center that would offer quality cancer care to low-income patients in Pakistan regardless of their ability to pay.

Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan was injured when a gunman opened fire on a political rally in Wazirabad, located in Punjab province. Officials from his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), confirmed that Khan sustained a bullet injury to his foot and is out of danger.

At the time of the attack, Imran Khan was leading a long march from Lahore toward Islamabad, calling for immediate general elections. Since his removal from office through a no-confidence vote in April, the former Prime Minister has addressed large public gatherings across the country.

Imran Khan, who served as Pakistan’s 19th prime minister after taking office in August 2018, has repeatedly claimed that his ouster was the result of a planned conspiracy.

In letter to leaders of Muslim-majority countries, the Pakistani prime minister asks to ‘act collectively to counter growing Islamophobia’.

Islamabad, Pakistan – Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has written to the leaders of Muslim-majority countries, asking them “to act collectively to counter growing Islamophobia in non-Muslim states”, his office has said.

The letter follows a rebuke by Khan to French President Emmanuel Macron earlier this week, where he accused Macron of “encouraging Islamophobia” for moves made by his government to tackle what the French leader termed “Islamic separatism”.

Lahore: Pakistan’s incarcerated former Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that economic progress can never happen as long as the current “fascist system” is in place and warned that there is a plan to impose a “10-year dictatorship” in Pakistan.

LAHORE – Pakistan’s embattled former Prime Minister Imran Khan has accused the powerful military and its intelligence agency of openly trying to destroy his political party, saying he had “no doubt” he would be tried in a military court and thrown in jail.

The Center for Islam and Global Affairs (CIGA) hosted a Diwaniyya-style dialogue that brought together public leaders, scholars, and public policy experts for an open, tradition-inspired discussion on pressing global and regional issues.

The event featured Imran Khan, former Prime Minister of Pakistan, whose participation anchored a wide-ranging conversation on geopolitics, regional challenges, governance, and his vision for Pakistan’s future. The dialogue reflected the Diwaniyya tradition of fostering inclusive, candid exchanges on matters of public importance.
