Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, currently imprisoned, has labeled the country's governance as a complete dictatorship, dismissing defense minister Khawaja Asif's remarks about a 'hybrid model.'

Imran Khan, Pakistan's jailed ex-premier, criticized the country's governance as full-fledged martial law, pushing back against Defense Minister Khawaja Asif's statement about a 'hybrid model.'
Khan's remarks underscore the political tension as he points to a militarily-led regime, accentuated by a meeting between US President Donald Trump and General Asim Munir.
The political rift deepens with PTI leaders labeling the current government a 'puppet regime,' while Khan dubs recent elections as the 'Mother of All Rigging.' The ongoing conflict reflects deep-seated frustrations over perceived electoral manipulation and power dynamics.
