Why Are You Against Imran Khan? | The Current Podcast ft. Iqrar Ul Hassan

#thecurrentpodcast #iqrarulhassan #pakistan 🎙️ In this episode of The Current Podcast, we sit down with renowned journalist and anchor Iqrar Ul Hassan to discuss the launch of his new political movement, and the discourse or the lack thereof when it comes to Pakistan’s political landscape. Key themes we explore include ideological positions in Pakistani politics, the country’s ongoing identity crisis and Jinnah’s vision, the “slave mentality” surrounding dynastic politics and entrenched families, the lack of democratic processes within political parties, and if a line should be drawn between religion and the state. Iqrar Ul Hassan shares candid insights on why Pakistan struggles to define its ideological direction, how dynastic politics has weakened democratic culture, and why the country must revisit its founding principles to move forward. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe for more deep dive conversations with those shaping Pakistan’s future.
