Trump Midterm Defeat, Imran Khan's 28th Amendment Talks? Maulana NAB Notices | Third Umpire

04 November 2026 | Third Umpire | Full Episode Donald Trump's Republican Party faces a major setback in the US midterm elections. Could the Democrats' takeover of Congress change Washington's relationship with Pakistan's political and military leadership? In today's Third Umpire, senior journalists Habib Akram and Muhammad Akbar Bajwa examine the US election results, the future of Trump-Pakistan relations, and the possible implications for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Field Marshal Asim Munir, Imran Khan and Pakistan's foreign policy. The program also examines fresh reports and political speculation surrounding Imran Khan's unexpected meeting with Barrister Salman Safdar at Adiala Jail. Was the proposed 28th Constitutional Amendment discussed with Imran Khan? Are constitutional negotiations, political dialogue or possible legal relief being considered? What do the latest statements from PTI leaders suggest? Following the 40-minute meeting with Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi, the Islamabad High Court has scheduled their appeals in the Al-Qadir Trust £190 million case for November 10. The program separates confirmed legal developments from speculation about possible political arrangements. Another major discussion concerns JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, his son Maulana Asad Mahmood and close associates facing investigations and notices from NAB, FIA and CDA. Why are multiple investigations drawing attention at a time when Maulana Fazlur Rehman has been sharply critical of the government's policies? What are the allegations, and what could their political implications be? Habib Akram and Akbar Bajwa also discuss the confrontation between Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and Federal Minister Chaudhry Salik Hussain over allegations of corruption in Punjab and the Rs5 billion defamation notice. The episode further covers the One Constitution Avenue scandal in Islamabad. Following the federal cabinet's approval of the investigation report, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has announced plans to convert the controversial property into a five-star hotel, while the rights of affected apartment buyers and accountability proceedings remain important questions.
