In an interview with Time magazine on Tuesday, Imran reiterated his belief that free and fair elections are essential for the country’s political stability.
When asked about his strategy for getting Pakistan back on track, Imran stated that after the elections, a new social contract would be needed that would enshrine power in political institutions rather than the military.

He also cited the ideal of a Madina-style welfare state and Northern Europeans’ social conscience as examples to emulate. “Scandinavia is probably much closer to the Islamic ideal than any other Muslim country,” he observed.
The former Prime Minister admitted that the cost of living was rising and that people were struggling to make ends meet. He attributed this to the country’s worst economic indicators in history and called for free and fair elections to serve as a starting point for economic recovery.
Imran also claimed that the people who tried to kill him were still in power and were terrified that if he returned to power, he would hold them accountable.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
