Desperate and consequential speech by Nawaz Sharif at APC and forceful counter by Army, revealing Nawaz League's attaché Zubair Umer's reaching out to COAS exposed the ugly face noon. As if late night party organization by Talal was not enough. For the past decade and two years, Army has been patient and has been dragging its feet from direct involvement in political affairs. And probably this stance is known to thug politicians and they aim to exploit it by using exactly the opposite narrative based on past mistakes. Blatant mistakes have been grabbing power, protracted Army rules and direct involvement in politics like establishment of IJI etc.
So what's exactly happening? Nawaz Sharif always hated Army. Maulana always remained power hungry. Why this vigorous campaign at this point in time? Why (unsuccessfully) oppose FATF & GB issues?
Reaaon is simple. We are on one page. Pakistan is getting stable. Pakistan is not fighting others' wars anymore. Its fighting its own battles like drive against cancerous corruption and economic growth. Indicators are positive. Pakistan has proved its mettle in the region. Lets look around, who would be unhappy with this kind of progress. India, Israel, US, UK etc. Together we may call them international establishment.
Is any other professional army in the entire world being singled out like the way Pakistan Army is at the moment? Literally, professional to the core. Not in slogans, not in publicity, in actual a competitive and competent force on God's earth. Only Army to have quashed terrorism on its soil.
But the problem is that IK & Bajwa are not budging. Whereas, international establishment would like to replace them with old tested stooges. However, despite pushing buttons of PPP through Cynthia Richie like implants, PPP remained content with current term looting of Sindh. Next is Nawaz Sharif. He seems willing. Adroitly, he published his pictures doing different acceptable things and jumped the bandwagon. Another, tool is Maulana. Both are desperate. Both are heading towards the bitter end. Because, they could survive any shenanigans but anti Pakistan narrative shielded in anti army narrative. It didn't work for Altaf Hussain. It won't work for them. This in itself is good news that we may eventually get rid of Zia regime's last and biggest blunder.
Maulana & Nawaz are desperate to muddle. They have been discredited already. They have nothing to lose. At the same time, they have received a nod from outside. Government has to act really fast and act now. It should not allow them too much freedom of action to thwart Pakistan's current progression graph. And for people, please don't trust media, it's a sold out.
Only Allah knows the whole Truth.
