  • The article uses emotional language to describe Mr. Khan's supporters.

Conflicts of Interest

Examples:

Contradictions

Examples:

  • The article implies that other parties will ultimately lead the government despite Mr. Khan's performance, but it does not explain why this would be a negative outcome or what are the implications for Pakistan's political system.
  • The article mentions that protests have already erupted in several parts of the country, especially in Baluchistan Province, but it does not provide any details about the nature and extent of these protests.
