Imran Khan’s son draws ire as he shares stage with BNM’s Naseem Baloch at UNHRC event

ISLAMABAD, Mar 26 (APP): Kasim Khan, son of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, participated in a side event of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, where he reportedly shared the stage with Dr. Naseem Baloch, a leader of the Baloch National Movement (BNM).

The videos and information circulating on social media showed that Kasim Khan addressed the event and spoke about the human rights situation in Pakistan. In his remarks, he particularly highlighted the detention of his father, Imran Khan, according to the media reports.

This development has sparked fresh discussions on social media regarding Kasim Khan’s activities and associations.

The Pakistani observers noted that this is not the first time his interactions with certain controversial figures have come under scrutiny as earlier he met Arif Ajakia.

Some analysts have pointed out that the participation of the son of a former prime minister in international forums alongside such elements, and taking positions critical of Pakistan, could have diplomatic and economic implications.

On the occasion, Dr. Naseem Baloch also reiterated his stance on Balochistan and highlighted human rights issues.

The joint presence of both individuals at the event has faced criticism on social media, with some users describing it as lobbying against Pakistan.

Commentators have observed that activities of this nature not only affect the domestic political narrative but may also impact Pakistan’s image and interests at the international level, especially at a time when the country is facing diplomatic and economic challenges.
