There are fragile signs of hope in Pakistan: The Supreme Court decision yesterday and the Islamabad High Court's today ordering Imran Khan's release, and growing opposition within the military to the heavy-handed over-reach of some.

Perhaps disaster can be averted, but only if 2 things happen.
Army Chief Munir needs to resign, and elections must be posted for a specific date. Without the first, the second is unlikely. Without these steps Pakistan's economic, political and security crisis will only worsen.

General Munir has mishandled his job and alienated the public. He also has lost the support of many senior Pakistanis. Some resented him from the beginning because of the unfortunate manner of his appointment as army chief.
There is growing fear that Imran Khan might be killed/assassinated while in custody. Imran Khan expressed this concern to the judge in charge in the court today.

The situation in Pakistan is deteriorating badly, affecting people's lives but also undermining the unity and cohesion of state institutions, including the armed forces.
One indication of this is the participation of retired officers in attacking the homes of state security leaders believed to have ordered the very undignified arrest operation against a former Prime Minister and the country's most popular leader.

Khan defines Iqbal’s philosophy and importance :
"The place that Iqbal occupies in the hearts and minds of Pakistanis is unparalleled, as is his poetry, even though few people appreciate the range and depth of his knowledge and creativity, or his philosophical system."
