Islamabad, May 10 (PTI) The arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and the widespread violence in its wake showed that “removing” him from the picture would solve nothing and it would only plunge the cash-strapped country further into "chaos and unrest", Pakistan's leading newspapers commented on Wednesday.
“Imran Khan has been arrested, and the Rubicon crossed. The breakout of fresh hostilities between the PTI and the state means any hopes of a negotiated breakthrough in the ongoing political stalemate can be put to rest,” the Dawn newspaper wrote in an editorial.
Though interior minister Rana Sanullah linked the arrest with a corruption investigation, the recent developments and Khan’s fresh confrontation with the armed forces suggest that he may have been picked up for an entirely different reason, it said.
