What's happening in Pakistan?

Imran Khan and the Canada-based cleric, Qadri seem to be playing with fire. They seem to be playing a sinister game that would eventually be advantageous for the armed forces. They need to answer a couple of questions to begin with which are:-

      (a) How've they realised that Nawaz Sharif had rigged the elections almost two years
            into governance?
      (b) How do they plan to govern in case Sharif goes? Is it going to be orchestrated by
            the armed forces?

If the latter be the case, then how do they become representatives for democracy? And isn't Nawaz Sharif jinxed because the General whom he makes the army chief becomes his tormentor eventually?

By past happenings, the army is weary of Nawaz Sharif because it feels that he has a propensity to appease India by compromising Pakistani interests. They seem to be still smarting about their PM not having interacted with the Kashmiri separatists, when he'd come to attend Modi's swearing in ceremony. Remember how Musharraf had scuttled the peace process after Vajpayee's bus yatra to Lahore?

It's in the interest of Pakistan's armed forces to base its foreign policy on a 'hate India' plank.

And Imran Khan seems to be a willing pawn in this dangerous game. Sad!


Tailpiece.

Imran Khan was always anti-India even during his cricketing days, despite the liberal education that he was privy to by being a sportsman on the international arena!
