Timing: Strategy or Serendipity?
The Space took place shortly after a verdict against Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi in the Toshakhana case.
So the question becomes unavoidable:
-
Was this timing designed to fill an immediate political vacuum?
-
Or was it coincidence—luck masquerading as strategy?
Either answer has consequences.
One signals intelligence.
The other, opportunity without preparation.
Secularism, Framing, and Loaded Questions
During the Space, Ahmad Waqas Goraya asked whether PRP would discourage misuse of the religious card. Reham Khan responded clearly: PRP is a center-left, secular party.
The answer itself wasn’t the issue.
The framing was.
A structured question with an obvious answer leaves no room for nuance. Had a more provocative scenario been posed—say, about blasphemy exploitation—the optics could have shifted dangerously. Leaders must not only answer well; they must recognize when a question is steering them.
