    I request you to change the text 'In his virtual address at the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly on 24 September 2021, Khan remarked that many Pakistani Pashtuns "had strong sympathies with the Afghan Taliban, not because of their religious ideology, but because of Pashtun nationalism."' to 'In his virtual address at the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly on 24 September 2021, Khan remarked "and then along along the tribal belt bordering Afghanistan [FATA] – the Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal belt they had strong sympathies with the Afghan Taliban, not because of their religious ideology, but because of Pashtun nationalism.' According to the source itself [[1]] he was talking about the people of fata not about all pashtuns. Knightknight12345 (talk) 19:03, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Prime Ministership Article[edit]

    @SheriffIsInTown I was thinking of splitting the Prime Minister section into the Prime Ministership of Imran Khan article which is a redirect. Shehbaz Sharif already has a premiership article with the same done, I also feel that the PM section is lengthy and could use its own article. Do you oppose this and are you okay with me making this major change? Titan2456 (talk) 20:05, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I actually support that. My goal when creating the article was to eventually update it, but due to personal commitments, I couldn't. As a result, people kept adding prime ministership content to the BLP, making that section longer than the article itself, and eventually, it was turned into a redirect. I had planned to split it into a separate article one day. If you can do that, please go ahead. I will support it. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 20:17, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It would make sense to do that. Having one extremely long section unbalances the article. A summary here with link to main would be an improvement. PearlyGigs (talk) 03:40, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Sorting out the various charges[edit]

    We need to be more careful in presenting the various charges against Khan. Afaict these consist of:

    1. What we call the "2022 Toshakhana reference case"
    2. What we call the "First arrest and release" which apparently was declared illegal.
    3. What we call the "Conviction and second arrest" relating to "misusing his premiership from 2018 to 2022 to buy and sell gifts". He was sentenced to three years in prison but "an appeals court suspended Khan's corruption conviction and three-year prison term, and granted bail".
    4. The "cypher case" in which Khan was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The Islamabad High Court later overturned Khan's conviction in this case
    5. The marriage law case: "On 3 February, Khan and his wife were convicted and sentenced to an additional seven years in prison and fined 500,000 rupees ($1,800) each following a criminal complaint by Bushra Bibi's former husband, Khawar Maneka, saying that Bushra did not complete her Iddat before marrying Khan in 2018".
    Currently, charges 3 - 5 are all under the one heading and are not sufficiently distinguished. It would be difficult to separate the changes into separate sections because there is a time overlap and the defence team lodged an appear against cases 3-5 at the same time. However, I suggest replacing the titles "2023 arrests" and "Conviction and second arrest" with something more accurate.
