#Pakistan's police and military did not open fire when hundreds of young men stormed and vandalized Army & Govt buildings; a planned bloodbath on #Pakistan streets, a brainchild of #ImranKhan and some of his #PTI party aides. It's not over yet. Khan is pushing for a civil war./1
In a statement, #Pakistan's military patted itself on the back for not falling in #ImranKhan & #PTI's trap. But it faces a bigger challenge: legions of young Pakistanis radicalized by Khan's messaging: that the state is a Western vassal & that Khan is a savior from corruption. /2
#Pakistan urgently needs to end a decade-long free reign of #ImranKhan's messaging: a lethal mixture of conspiracy theories, disinformation, and religion. A generation of Pakistanis require de-radicalization and restoration of faith in the state and the system. /3
#ImranKhan was a project that a previous Army+intelligence leadership created to neutralize #Pakistan's two largest parties. It backfired when Khan as PM rushed to pick up fights with 🇵🇰's oldest partners in Mideast/West/China. Khan's cult has loyalists inside military+state. /4
#Pakistan could launch a de-radicalization campaign soon to erase the extremist brainwashing that #ImranKhan & his #PTI have done to a segment of Pakistanis. A cleanup process is expected within civil and military institutions of the state to weed out Khan’s cult loyalists. /5
