Sara Taseer Says Pakistan Punishes Oxford-Educated Prime Ministers

Sara Taseer wrote about six Pakistani prime ministers who had studied at Oxford.

She said these leaders did not receive ordinary, peaceful political endings.

Some were removed from office, some were forced out, and some were killed.

Liaquat Ali Khan and Benazir Bhutto were assassinated.

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was executed after his government was overthrown by the military.

Imran Khan was removed through a no-confidence vote and later jailed.

Taseer said this pattern helps explain why governments in Pakistan often struggle.

Some Pakistanis disagreed and accused her of valuing British institutions too highly.

Her father, Salman Taseer, was also an Oxford-educated Pakistani politician who was assassinated.
