Professor Junaid Ahmad breaks down Pakistan’s massive protests, where despite a total lockdown, hundreds of thousands of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters marched on the capital demanding the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Ahmad, a Professor of Law, Religion, and Global Politics, and the Director of the Center for the Study of Islam and Decolonization in Islamabad explains how the US-backed military regime’s crackdown has “backfired,” noting, “every action that the [Pakistani] regime takes only increases Khan’s popularity.”
