The Spin

Narrative A

With two weeks to go for the general elections, it's obvious that this vote will be anything but free and fair as non-elected officials have singled out Imran Khan's PTI for systematic dismemberment. Such a manipulation of the election process can only aggravate the current political turmoil in Pakistan.

Narrative B

At first, the opposition and international observers said that there would be no elections. Now, they are claiming that the upcoming vote will be one of the most rigged elections ever based on false allegations of censorship. Actually, the media in Pakistan enjoys much more freedom of expression than many outlets in the West.
