Is Imran Khan aware that the Suffragette movement led to women finally getting the right to vote? And that it was feminists who fought for, and obtained, basic rights like paid leave from jobs to have babies?

Is he aware that the stone-age, so-called juries of the Afghan Taliban that he admires include no women, and have no knowledge of the law, nor recourse to modern investigative methods? Is he aware that these juries have often ordered young women to be handed over to aggrieved parties as punishment for the crimes their fathers are supposed to have committed?

Also, who will pay for the 10m jobs that he has pledged to create in case he becomes PM? His party didn’t succeed in creating many jobs in KP over these last five years..

Have you found yourself wondering about the above?

Then check out a few more questions regarding Imran Khan's politics in Irfan Husain's Saturday column here.
