Pakistan’s liberal class has long practiced a curiously convenient form of courage: the kind that attacks power only after first making sure power is not in the room. It performs dissent under chandeliers, quotes Faiz with moist eyes, invokes Jalib with theatrical tremor, and then develops sudden laryngitis when asked to name the institution that actually rules the country. This is not politics. It is dissent as dinner theatre.

Today, Khan is largely confined to his residence in Lahore while on bail from successive court appearances on allegations ranging from corruption to terrorism and even murder.

Yet, its response to the arbitrary imprisonment of Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan an elected leader with extensive ties to Britain has been muted at best and complicit at worst over the last two years. 

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday paying tribute to Pakistan’s national poet Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal on his 143rd birth anniversary said Iqbal’s thoughts continue to be a source of inspiration and guidance.

PM Imran in his tweet shared an article of Dr Ali Shariati, renowned Iranian revolutionary and sociologist, and wrote that Iqbal’s thoughts continue to be a source of inspiration and guidance.

“He is a great mystic, with a pure spirit, delivered of materiality and, at the same time, a man who respects and honours science, technological progress, and the advancement of human reason in our age,” the PM quoted Dr Shariati.
