EDITORIAL
Elections in Pakistan go according to the script written by the Army

The back to back jail sentences former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan
was handed out in two different cases just a week before the February 8 parliamentary
elections, show how roles have been reversed in Pakistan’s convoluted political space
dominated by the shadow hands of the establishment.In 2018, when Mr. Khan’s
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was elected to power, the Opposition Pakistan Muslim
League-Nawaz (PMLN) and the Pakistan People’s Party had accused the military of
electoral rigging in favour of the former cricket star, who was the preferred choice of the
generals. A year earlier, Nawaz Sharif, the PMLN leader, had to resign as Prime Minister
over the Panama Papers allegations and later go into exile after his conviction and
disqualication.Today, Mr. Khan has been disqualied and is serving lengthy sentences,
while Mr. Sharif is back, leading the PMLN. Given the way how the military and other
state institutions went after Mr. Khan and his party, there was little surprise in the
court proceedings and the verdicts.On Tuesday, he was sentenced to 10 years by a
special court in what is commonly called the ‘Cipher case’, on charges that he leaked
state secrets, while on Wednesday, another court sentenced him and his wife to 14
years in the Toshakhana case, for keeping some of the gifts they had received while he
was in power.
Mr. Khan was forced out of power in April 2022 after falling out with the military
establishment. He accused the military and the United States of conspiring to oust
him and, at a rally, waved a paper, purportedly a diplomatic cable sent by the then
Pakistani Ambassador to the U.S. in 2022, as evidence, which came back to hit him as
a violation of the Ofcial Secrets Act. His lawyers complain that they were replaced by
state attorneys in the middle of the case and that Mr. Khan was not allowed to give a
proper defence in the ‘Cipher’ trial, which took place inside a jail. His arrest in May led
to largescale protests. But since then, the authorities have unleashed a systematic
campaign to weaken the PTI — many of its leaders are in jail, while several others have
left under pressure or are on the run. Recently, a court barred the party from using its
iconic cricket bat symbol in ballots. Many PTI workers are contesting as independents.
While Mr. Khan is in jail and his party is in tatters under state repression, Mr. Sharif
seems to be enjoying the support of the invisible power centre in the electoral arena,
which makes the elections look like a xed match.Mr. Sharif might make a political
comeback, but the real winner in the unfolding developments in Pakistan, which is
grappling with enormous economic challenges, is the military and the real loser, the
country’s democracy
