Ever since his ouster from power last month, the former Prime minister, Imran Khan has practiced a brand of agitational politics that may only be described as demagoguery, a manipulative approach that appeals to the worst nature of people.
Khan’s demagoguery is not based on reason, issues, and doing the right thing. It is based on stirring up fear and hatred to control people. As a consequence, the country has been left deeply divided, its society greatly polarised, and the people completely disoriented. And it has made Pakistani politics look ugly, nasty, and dropping it to its lowest depths.
