Imran to address nation tonight: minister
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan will deliver an address to the nation in the evening, Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry announced on Thursday. Khan was originally expected to address the nation Wednesday, however, the address was postponed. The opposition Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) alliance has called on the prime minister to resign even before he lost his majority in the Lower House, but his aides have said he will not quit. One card up Khan’s sleeve could be to call an early election — the next one must be held before October 2023. “We have been threatened in writing but we will not compromise on national interests,” he said, without offering evidence or details.

Misreading the Two Nation Theory?
Ishtiaq Ahmed says that Ahmadis considered Shias and Sunnis heretical and subversive to their faith and therefore it would never be tolerated in a state that was based in Two Nation Theory. Ishtiaq Ahmed deliberately misreads the Two Nation Theory. The Two Nation Theory never said Hindus or Muslims could never live together. These are conspicuous by absence because it does not fit the neat good v evil narrative that Ishtiaq Ahmed is so invested in. I leave it to the reader to decide how forgiving one can be just because Ishtiaq Ahmed is a political scientist and not a historian.
