Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, through the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, has drawn parallels between the current political and economic turmoil in Pakistan and the events leading up to the 1971 separation of East Pakistan, now Bangladesh. At a press conference at the National Press Club, PTI central information secretary Raoof Hasan conveyed Khan's message, stressing the dire need for economic stability to preserve the nation's integrity.
