Mr Pakistan v Mr Khan - Part 3

 To recap last 48 hours and encapsulate in point form, in my humble opinion:

Both Arrest & Release of Mr Khan were stage managed.

Where release became a necessity or should we say face saving. 

Miscalculation on public reaction was the deadliest and the costliest. It will have far reaching consequences and time shall tell. 

Pressure was immense. 

Possibly a deal is struck with Mr Khan which satisfies Mr America as well. 

Elections might be announced but either without Mr Khan or below two-third majority. Also Mr Khan & his party (if at all) returns to power, will stay away from foreign and economic affairs because it involves loads of money. 

Overall, it is a sensible retreat. 

The question is, why should Mr Khan give space to Mr Pakistan whilst he is on the ropes, and do not have many cards left to play. 

The answer is that  Mr Pakistan is still the consistent elephant in the room. 

Mr Khan started signalling willingness to engage in talks with but due to handedness of the powerful it didn’t come to pass. 

Mr Pakistan finally realised that giraffe in the room is no small entity to be ignored but Mr Pakistan wanted to talk to him from a position of strength. Which he did after Mr Khan’s apprehension but the miscalculation on people’s reaction started to play up. 

At the same time, Mr Goon literally threw Mr Pakistan under the bus. 

That’s why retard Mr Goon was summoned & given a script to read last night in front of camera to show that he also had stakes in this mess. Soon after, all his ministers and PDM allies started showing on screens like monsoon frogs. 

Likewise, partial detention, three guestrooms, six family members & condition of appearing in high court next morning was also a written order given to Mr Justice like last year’s Speaker Assembly’s ruling. 

At the same time, Mr Justice got his wounded ego satisfied by mediating the matter of national importance because Mr Goon wouldn't otherwise let him have provincial elections by 14 May. 

So a timely retreat by Mr Pakistan where everyone had a face saving.

Another stroke of genius by Mr Pakistan, turning challenge into opportunity that the elections also got averted for the time being. Now the alleged deal with Mr Khan on elections might have to wait for couple of years or expect the worst. 

So, Mr Khan’s supporters, go easy on celebrations because Khan is freed not Pakistan. At the same time, “Law” can always take its course anytime because they kinda need to be able to twist Mr Khan’s arm as & when required remaining within legal framework. 

One final word last 48 hrs were not Mr Pakistan v Mr Khan but Mr Pakistan v People of Pakistan and that is quite alarming. 

Long live the apolitical godfather of Pakistani politics.
