Pakistani journalist and peace activist Beena Sarwar speaks with Mayank Chhaya from Lahore | SAM Conversation

What now for Pakistan and Imran Khan? In an extraordinary turn of events independent candidates endorsed by and affiliated with the incarcerated former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have won the most number of seats in the National Assembly where 169 seats are needed to form a clean majority government. Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, until recently on the run from a corruption-related case, returned to contest but does not seem to have been given anything approaching a mandate, although his Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz Party (PMLN) is turning out to be the largest single party. To understand the election’s aftermath Mayank Chhaya Reports spoke to Beena Sarwar, a well-known Pakistani journalist, documentary filmmaker, peace activist and political analyst from Lahore.

S Venkat Narayan, international affairs commentator, speaks with Mayank Chhaya on the recent Bangladesh elections | SAM Conversation

Voters in Bangladesh recently handed Sheikh Hasina, already the world’s longest-serving woman prime minister, a fifth term after being in power for 19 years. Hasina’s victory was a fait accompli given that the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party or the BNP of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia boycotted the election. S. Venkat Narayan, a senior Indian journalist and commentator based in New Delhi, was in Dhaka to report the outcome. In a span of 32 hours, he engaged Prime Minister Hasina twice asking her blunt questions, including about the credibility of an election boycotted by the main opposition. Venkat Narayan spoke to Mayank Chhaya Reports to explain the significance of the outcome in a country which feels like a virtual fiefdom of Sheikh Hasina whose father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman founded it in 1971.

Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) party information secretary Raoof Hasan on Imran Khan and his political future | SAM Conversation

The political fortunes of both former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf party or PTI hang in the balance following his conviction on graft charges and incarceration. The guilty verdict automatically triggers Khan’s disqualification from seeking public office for the next five years, ruling out his contesting the coming general election. Other than appealing to higher courts to overturn the verdict, the party’s core committee is preparing behind the scenes for the eventuality that the former prime minister is not granted relief even by the Supreme Court and looking at life without the charismatic Khan at the helm. Raoof Hasan, the PTI’s information secretary who spoke to Mayank Chhaya Reports from Islamabad, cast serious doubts about the trial court order by questioning how it was that a 30-page order was drafted and pronounced in just about half an hour.

As India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarks on a state visit to Washington, which will also entail an address to a joint meeting of Congress on June 22, US-India relations remain on an upward trajectory that began in 2000. Close to a quarter century later, short of India becoming a formal ally of the United States, it has established itself as one of America’s most consequential global partners, particularly in the Indo-Pacific where its increasingly assertive neighbor China is flexing its muscles. To understand what the Modi visit means for US-India relations, Mayank Chhaya Reports spoke to Arun Kumar Singh, a former Indian Ambassador to the US.
