Najam Interviewed on Political Turmoil in Pakistan
Adil Najam, Dean of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, appeared on GNN to discuss the evolving political situation in Pakistan following the no-confidence vote in the country’s parliament that ousted Prime Minister Imran Khan.
In his remarks, Najam pointed out that Pakistan’s politicians – on both sides – and their increasingly combative rhetoric are widening the country’s political divide. He argued that the divided country desperately needs a narrative of healing; however, none seems to be available at this time.
