There is a good anti-establishment constituency in #Pakistan that opposes #ImranKhan's Islamist tilt but is tempted to support him against the Army as part of overall anti-military push timed with the feeling that the institution is politically at its weakest.
#Pakistan's former prime minister #ImranKhan is playing a dirty game. He is telling the Army and intelligence agency #ISI to join him against the country's entire political class and put him back in PM House. He has no vision for 🇵🇰 future beyond a lifetime as a populist leader.
Anti-establishment lobbies in #Pakistan that are fascinated by #ImranKhan's head-on collision with the Army and #ISI might be missing out on the best opportunity in half-century to regulate Military's role in politics. The establishment wants pluralism, not a populist-led system.
Today, stronger democracy means supporting #Pakistan Establishment's new policy of disengagement from politics, to limit+regulate its political role. #ImranKhan's collision with the military might look fascinating but is a recipe for chaos, meant to drag Mil behind him.
