Authorities in #Pakistan are yet to release the full details of a high-level probe that involved close to a dozen intelligence agencies that uncovered a plan that #ImranKhan approved to storm military buildings, bases, and officer houses after his arrest, which was expected. /1
The plan, allegedly approved by #ImranKhan, was based on ignoring court hearings in corruption cases that would naturally result in arrest, which then will be used to divert national attention against the military, which has refused to help Khan become PM like it did in 2018. /2
The plot links key aides of #ImranKhan in his #PTI party to planning attacks on military installations. If ever investigators' findings are made public, this could emerge as the first plan of its kind to engage #Pakistan Army in a civil war type conflict by a political party. /3
A look at the choice of military+govt buildings selectively targeted by #PTI mobs under instructions from #ImranKhan and senior party office holders is astonishing, and gives a glimpse into the pre-planning involved. See this valuable list in #thread:

#PTI office holder & one of closest aides to ousted ex-PM #ImranKhan announces a coup within #Pakistan Army while army chief is on official visit to #China. Not an isolated tweet; pro-Khan troll accounts echo it, signaling pre-planning against military.

@MoeedNj Dear Moeed, you're an intelligent man trapped by this mafioso cult under Imran Khan, just like my friend Arshad was. Don't trust them with anything. Stay safe. Pakistani govt & military writings are easy to catch. I never done that. Pakistani CivMil media managers are ... /1
@MoeedNj ..hopeless anyway. This is my information gathering work, as a lifelong investigative journalist. If you read my tweet again, you'll see I'm actually nudging them to share information, bcz they are not. I'm urging them to make info that I referenced public. /2
@MoeedNj I'm a little disappointed that, knowing my work and experience, you'd think I use writings of Info Ministry or ISPR. We both know the limits of our state media. I did not operate under those confines even when I worked for PTV under both civilian & military govts. /3

#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's political story is complex. He is a source of tension since his launch in 2011 in a feat of political engineering to sideline two largest parties #PMLN+#PPP; failed as PM, messed up #Pakistan's economy+foreign policy. Now turns anti-military.

After 2019, #ImranKhan relaunched himself as a religious cult. Clips of his followers comparing Khan to the Prophet and other Islamic figures abound. Fans call him Murshid, a supreme leader. Khan recently referenced his wife receiving instructions from supernatural powers.

Imran Khan was arrested in a real estate corruption case today. But he faces several other cases: sale of state gifts, a tree plantation project, a metro bus project, party foreign funding, and his American daughter's case.

Moments before the arrest of oustedb#Pakistan ex-PM #ImranKhan. He is wanted in multiple corruption cases, incl the multi-billion rupee Al-Qadir religious university corruption case that allegedly implicates him and his wife.

Ousted ex-PM #ImranKhan's supporters resist the execution of a legal arrest order in a multi-billion rupee corruption case. More than a dozen #Pakistan law enforcement personnel injured by Khan's supporters.

Some evidence is emerging that supports reports that a legal arrest warrant for the arrest of ousted ex-PM #ImranKhan in a major corruption case was violently obstructed by Khan's supporters.

After a blunt yearlong anti-military smear campaign, unprecedented in #Pakistan's 75 years, military media arm #ISPR has responded with a statement replete with words of condemnation against ousted ex-PM #ImranKhan. Met by more ridicule by Khan's online troll armies. /1 ImageImage
Trolls sympathetic to ousted ex-PM #ImranKhan and his party #PTI responded to #Pakistan military's official statement by trending #PressReleaseRejected. The statement was issued by @OfficialDGISPR.
/2 Image
But while pro-#ImranKhan trolls trended #PressReleaseRejected to spite #Pakistan military, there were signs that some senior members of Khan's party #PTI were trying to signal peace to the powerful military. Khan's aides have avoided using Khan's language against the military. /3 Image
