According to a NY Times story, CIA director travelled to Pakistan and he was told by GB that Pak Army was ready to cooperate in this new phase of war on terror, providing all essential strategic and non-strategic aid including the prime prize of giving Pakistan's airspace and bases.
However there was a problem, and which was this ONE man, IK. Meanwhile IK realising his COAS is making this deal behind his back, gave the statement to a HBO reporter...Absolutely NOT, deterring the plans of Gen Bajwa and the Americans.
The rest is history.
Now US also realised that this one man was the problem in their designs for the region. So, they sent this message to Gen Bajwa for helping the opposition in the upcoming Vote of No Confidence.
The message was picked up by the agencies and given to IK. PM called GB and asked him about it.
GB with his gift of the gab convinced IK to remain silent until the upcoming OIC conference was held in Islamabad. The argument was that Pakistan could not raise voice against the US while it was practicing a magnanimous diplomatic exercise like the OIC conference.
In addition, Russia's trip had also taken place with full support of GB. GB was in loop before going, during the trip and even at return. Yet, unfortunately a double game was played with IK on Russia trip. After giving full support to IK and heavily encouraging IK to visit Russia, Gen Bajwa sought help with the ISPR who called their pet reporters and "tipped" them with information that the PM had decided to embark to Russia without the consent of Gen Bajwa. Hence, a misconception of solo flight which it never was.
Meanwhile clock was ticking and GB was taking no action on the said infamous letter, left with no choice, IK decided to go public yet never embarrassed his COAS.
Even in his interactions with journalists throughout March/April, IK never uttered a word against COAS or Army. During one of the meetings, every journalist coaxed him to lengths to come to reality, they told him that there were clear signs which meant that there was an elephant in the room but PM was refusing to see that elephant. According to meeting with journalists, the journalists also told IK that the whole narrative of GB being 'neutral', in reality entailed his active support for the joint opposition, yet IK refused to say a word against GB.
However, at one point IK said: "I know each and everything but I will never embarrass my Army because that will only make enemies of Pakistan happy and will only damage our country...I will not do that."
That's why IK never tried hard enough to buy back or lure PTI MNAs or allies as he knew the deal was sealed with the strong local orchestrator of this game.
However, at that point IK had full confidence in Supreme Court. That's why the one sided draconian decision of SC which became totally blind to the actual circumstances came as a shock and a heart pain to IK.
According to an officer (Major) retired from Army, "SC decision had strong Bajwa footprints everywhere.... surprisingly the language seemed military as well".
The fatal mistake made by the script writers was one in an otherwise flawless CIA plan of regime change in Pakistan.
The flaw was that they underestimated the public power that IK had.
In meeting with journalists, IK said: "We got many shocks, local bodies, by elections surveys all showed that we were unpopular. They made a mistake of thinking people had left me."
So, now all IK has...power of Allah as well as that of public. Will that be enough? The deed has been done. He has been voted out. Phase one of regime change plan successfully implemented. The phase 2 includes a nasty campaign against IK to prove him a corrupt and an incompetent man, target his family, possibly ban PTI through foreign funding case and do a massive PR exercise for General Bajwa. The planted story of BBC which was cosmetically rebuked by ISPR, was also an attempt to malign IK. They are already trying to stifle all the voices in favour of IK by witch hunting all kind of media. Also, a ferocious campaign has been in action to discredit the theory of the letter and conspiracy. So what options does IK have?
He said: "We will fight", he is fighting. Seems like he's already burnt all his boats.
Shame on those who call him narcissist, do they know who he really is? His whole life has been a mission to help his countrymen. If anyone fits the definition of narcissism, it's none other than Maryam Nawaz with whom GB struck a deal. And they call him corrupt with a menial 'tosha khana' scandle where he did nothing beyond law. IK has been raising funds all his life. He has sold many such gifts in the past for his hospital and university and he did the same by legally buying things. He broke no law. If anyone is answerable, it's one man General Bajwa, who has single handily taken Pakistan into utter chaos. Now, we may know who stabbed Siraj ud-Daulah in the back? And why Imran Khan reminded us the story of Mir Jafar?
Its time that people will have to take charge of their destiny. May Allah protect Pakistan
