Pakistan's Army and the intelligence agencies have been playing their constitutional role in the entire March-April episode. Imran Khan knows the military is politically neutral because it does not have enough evidence to believe the VoNC was US-sponsored. (1)
Pakistan's Army and the intelligence agencies have been playing their constitutional role in the entire March-April episode. Imran Khan knows the military is politically neutral because it does not have enough evidence to believe the VoNC was US-sponsored. (1)
Imran Khan has exaggerated the demarche to create a narrative for next elections which the common Pakistanis have started buying completely. Its peoples' right to buy what they want to buy but the fact is, its an exaggerated narrative for elections (2)
PTI's fanbase, convinced by the very exaggerated narrative constructed by their leader, is now expressing anguish against the military especially the COAS for staying neutral in what it believes is a 'US sponsored regime change' which actually is not even evident to army! (3)
Gone are the days of US sponsored regime change in Pakistan. Imran Khan is disliked by the US and the block but that does not mean it brought him down. He fell down on his own! But cleverly constructed a popular narrative to make a comeback! (4)
The problem with this however is that the PTI supporters wrongly believe that the military is colluding with the US in regime change. This is the impact of IK's narrative construction. If the army were complicit, IK would have called it out now that he is not even PM anymore. (5)
IK did call to respect the military for being apolitical in the episode and said that he respected the insitutional decision by the military leadership to stay out of it. The only reason he respects this decision is, he knows the army is not convinced on regime change. (6)
