PAKISTAN'S VISION 2025

THE PAKISTAN ARMY AND THE PDM PROXY GOVERNMENT HAVE LAUNCHED A CRACKDOWN ON THE PTI LEADERSHIP, WORKERS AND SUPPORTERS. OVER 7000 HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND ABDUCTED AND REPORTS OF HARASSMENT AND TORTURE ARE CIRCULATING. THIS FOLLOWS A SPECIAL CORP COMMANDERS CONFERENCE HELD AT THE PAKISTANI ARMY GHQ.   THE PAKISTAN ARMY ACT AND OFFICIAL SECRETS ACT WILL BE USED AGAINST PROTESTORS WHO RESORTED TO VIOLENCE. ALTHOUGH AGENT PROVOCATEURS MAY HAVE INTERFERED AND NEED INVESTIGATION.
 

IT IS CLEAR THAT PAKISTAN IS NOW AT A CRITICAL MOMENT IN IT'S HISTORY WHICH WAS SPARKED OFF BY THE SOFT ARMY COUP AGAINST THE PTI GOVERNMENT IN MARCH 2022. THIS HAS BEEN SIMMERING AND NOW THE ROOF HAS COME OFF. INSTEAD OF DOUBLING DOWN IT SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTING PAKISTANI ELECTIONS AS PER THE SUPREME COURT DECISION .

PAKISTAN's FRAGILE DEMOCRACY IS BEING STRANGLED AND THE NATION IS GOING DOWN A DANGEROUS PATH RATHER THAN A PATH OF CONSENSUS. THIS DOESN'T AUGUR WELL FOR PAKISTAN NOR THE MUSLIM WORLD. IT IS CLEAR THAT THE ONLY WAY OUT HERE IS THAT THE PAKISTANI PEOPLE'S WILL NEEDS TO BE RESPECTED. THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE IF THE PEOPLE'S WILL IS MANIFESTED ON THE STREETS. IMRAN KHAN IS ACCURATE TO PINPOINT THE SUPPRESSION OF THE PEOPLE'S WILL IN EAST PAKISTAN WHICH LED TO THE CIVIL WAR AND DIVISION OF THE COUNTRY. 

THE PAKISTANI ESTABLISHMENT AND JUDICIARY HAVE BEEN WARNED AND THE TIME FOR THEM TO COME OUT ON THE STREETS HAS ARRIVED ALSO. THE ROAD TO FASCISM NEEDS TO BE THWARTED AS THE PEOPLE's WILL IN A NATION OF 220 MILLION CAN NOT BE SUPPRESSED AND IGNORED. 

HAVING SAID THAT IT HAS BECOME CLEAR AS WE ARE NOT PARTY POLITICAL THAT IMRAN KHAN AND HIS PTI CAME INTO POWER WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE ARMY. THEY WANTED A CHANGE FROM PLAYING WITH THE EXISTING 2 POLITICAL DYNASTIES. SO IMRAN KHAN ONE CAN ARGUE IS A CREATION OF THE MILITARY. BUT WITH A FALLOUT WITH THE ARMY LEADER HE HAS BECOME OUT OF CONTROL AND ANGRY LIKE FRANKENSTEIN.  ANGRY BECAUSE OF AT LEAST 2 ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS BLAMED ON THE MILITARY LEADERSHIP .

IT IS DEBATABLE WHETHER THIS IS ABOUT CIVILIAN SUPREMACY OVER THE MILITARY. RATHER IT IS ARGUED IT'S ABOUT HIM WANTING THE ARMY TO BACK HIM VIS A VIS THE OTHER POLITICAL PARTIES. NO POLITICAL LEADER NEEDS OR SHOULD BE SUBSERVIENT TO THE ARMY. THE ARMY ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS AND THE TRAGEDY OF PAKISTAN IS THAT IT IS A COUNTRY RUN BY AN ARMY RATHER THAN AN ELECTED CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS INDIA WHICH SINCE NEHRU's ERA DOES NOT HAVE COUPS AND MARTIAL LAW AS IT TOOK ARMY REFORMS SOON AFTER INDEPENDENCE CUTTING IT DOWN TO SIZE AND KNOWING IT'S PLACE AND ROLE. THIS EXPLAINS IT'S RELATIVE STABILITY AND PROSPERITY IN THE REGION AND WORLD STAGE. 

THIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE AND NEVER HAPPENED IN PAKISTAN  AS IT'S FOUNDER JINNAH PASSED PREMATURELY WITHOUT ESTABLISHING HIS VISION PERMANENTLY. SO IT IS PART OF THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS IN THE CREATION OF PAKISTAN. FURTHERMORE THE TRADITION OF MILITARY COUPS STARTED WITH 1958 NEVER ENDED. THE SAD REALITY OF NO CIVILIAN ELECTED GOVERNMENT EVER BEING ABLE TO FINISH IT'S ELECTED TERM INCLUSIVE OF THE 2018-2022 IMRAN KHAN PTI GOVERNMENT .

IN THE CURRENT SITUATION IT NEEDS TO BE REALISED THAT THE PTI IS ENGAGED IN A STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL AND CAMPAIGN TO UPHOLD THE RULE OF LAW, FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE FROM BEING A SLAVE NATION.  THERE IS A NEED FOR GRASSROOTS MASS  ISLAMIC MOVEMENTS WHICH ARE NOT PART OF THE POLITICAL SYSTEM  TO JOIN FORCES WITH THE PTI.  IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF, WHEN AND HOW THIS MATERIALISES.  AS PAKISTAN'S RAISON D'ETRE WAS ENVISIONED AS A MUSLIM HOMELAND AND IT IS TIME FOR PAKISTAN's RELIGIOUS LEADERS TO SHOW SOME COURAGE, SACRIFICE AND VISION.  A MUSLIM HOMELAND IS MEANINGLESS AND TOOTHLESS WITHOUT A FORWARD THINKING EFFECTIVE ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT. IT FOLLOWS THAT AN ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE THE OUTCOME OF FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS. BUT IF THIS ROUTE IS BEING BLOCKED IT WILL HAVE TO COME FROM THE ASSERTION OF PEOPLE POWER ON THE STREETS WHICH WITHDRAWS CONSENT TO THE EXISTING CORRUPT FEUDAL CRIMINAL ANTI-ISLAMIC REGIME.

LESSONS FROM THE 1979 ISLAMIC REVOLUTION WHICH TOOK PLACE NEXT DOOR IN IRAN UNDER AYATOLLAH KHUMAYNI ARE RELEVANT. IRAN'S PEOPLE POWER AND ASSERTION OF THE PEOPLE'S WILL SWEPT AWAY THE PRO-WESTERN DICTATORIAL AND SAVAK MILITARY REGIME OF THE SHAH.  THIS IS MENTIONED AS PAKISTAN IS FACING A POLYCRISIS WHICH IS NOT JUST POLITICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL BUT ALSO AN SOCIO-ECONOMICAL AND FINANCIAL CRISIS. 

IT WOULD NOT BE TOO OFF THE MARK BY SAYING A PRE- REVOLUTION SCENARIO IS ON THE HORIZON. MORE ON THIS ANALYSIS FOLLOWS AS A WORK IN PROGRESS.

GENERAL JUDGE AND JURY.
HAS THE ARMY PUT IMRAN ON THE BACK FOOT

THE VIDEO COMMENTATOR MAKES SOME VERY ASTUTE INSIGHTS IN TERMS OF THE PAKISTANI GAME OF THRONES.    HE SAYS THAT IN PAKISTAN THE PAKISTAN ARMY IS THE BIGGEST POLITICAL PARTY AROUND AND THAT THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS. ALSO THAT IT DOES NOT NEED TO HAVE A COUP AS IT CALLS THE SHOTS FROM THE RAWALPINDI ARMY GH WHICH IS THE REAL CAPITAL OF THE COUNTRY AND NOT ISLAMABAD.  THE CREATION OF A POLICE STATE SINCE THE EVENTS OF MARCH 2022 TILL NOW.

WHILST ALL THIS MAY BE SPOT ON WHAT THE DIAGNOSIS   FAILS TO NOTE ARE SEVERAL FACTORS .  FIRSTLY THAT THE PTI AS THE BIGGEST POPULIST FORCE IN THE COUNTRY HAS AWAKENED THE PAKISTANI PEOPLE ESPECIALLY THE URBAN MIDDLE CLASSES, YOUTH AND WOMEN. ANYONE OBSERVING PTI  POLITICAL RALLIES OVER THE LAST YEAR CAN RIGHTLY DETECT A "PAKISTANI SPRING" IN THE AIR. ALSO THE ESTABLISHMENT MSM NARRATIVE NO LONGER HOLDS SWAY IN A SOCIAL MEDIA AGE IN A COUNTRY WITH 220 PLUS MILLION PEOPLE.      

THE PTI HAS LAUNCHED  A CAMPAIGN FOR HAQEEQI AZADI WHICH TRANSLATES AS REAL FREEDOM.  IT MAY HAVE IGNITED DEEP PASSIONS IN PAKISTAN FOR TRANSFORMATION OF A DEEPLY ENTRENCHED CORRUPT FEUDAL BUREAUCRATIC AND MILITARY REGIME. THAT IS A GOOD THING AND SHOULD BE WELCOMED. THE PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN DESERVE BETTER. THEY NEED A JUST ISLAMIC MERITOCRATIC DEMOCRATIC ORDER.  THE UNFINISHED WORK OF THE COUNTRY'S FOUNDER JINNAH NEEDS COMPLETION. HE MIRACULOUSLY CREATED A HOMELAND FOR INDIA'S MUSLIMS BUT FAILED TO ESTABLISH  A JUST ISLAMIC MODEL OF GOOD EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE.

THE LEGACY OF THE BRITISH RAJ STILL EXISTS IN EXISTING LAWS. PARAMOUNT OF WHICH INCLUDE THE LACK OF CIVILIAN SUPREMACY OVER THE ARMED FORCES. SECONDLY THE FAILURE TO HAVE AN ISLAMIC ECONOMIC SYSTEM AS THE FINANCIAL, BANKING AND ECONOMIC SYSTEM IS CONTROLLED BY
A DESTRUCTIVE GLOBALIST USURIOUS CAPITALIST HYDRA.

BOTH OF THESE FACTORS EXPLAINS WHY NO CIVILIAN ELECTED PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT HAS COMPLETED IT'S TERM OF OFFICE.
IN THIS SCENARIO THERE IS A NEED FOR ISLAMIC PARTIES WHICH OPERATE OUTWITH THE POLITICAL SYSTEM  TO COOPERATE AND COLLABORATE WITH THE MAINSTREAM SECULAR POPULIST PTI. THIS IS REQUIRED AS THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW ISLAMIC SOLUTIONS TO SOLVE THE COUNTRY'S CHALLENGES. 

THE PAKISTANI RANK AND FILE ARMY IS NOT IMMUNE FROM SOME TENDENCIES WHICH ARE PREVALENT IN SOCIETY. BUT THE PAKISTANI GENERALS HAVE PUSHED THE JUDICIARY ASIDE TO DEAL WITH PROTESTORS AND RIOTERS OF MAY 9 2023 WHICH THEY HAVE BILLED AS A BLACK DAY. THE PEOPLE  WERE ON THE STREETS PROTESTING AGAINST THE ILLEGAL ARREST OF IMRAN KHAN. NO SOLDIERS WERE KILLED YET THE PTI HAS REPORTED 25 PROTESTORS WHO WERE KILLED. SO WHOSE BLACK DAY WAS IT?  AS THE ARMY HAS RESORTED TO USE MILITARY COURTS UNDER THE ARMY ACT AND OFFICAL SECRETS ACT. THIS CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS THE ACTIONS OF A POLICE STATE.

THEY HAVE TO BE WARNED THAT THIS IS A STEP IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. ESPECIALLY IN A COUNTRY AWASH WITH WEOPONS, TRIBAL MILITIAS AND ARMED MILITANT GROUPS. THE FEDERAL STATE IS A FRAGILE CREATION WHICH REQUIRES NURTURE NOT RUPTURE. THE ARMY's MONOPOLY OF POWER   MUST NOT IGNITE AN URBAN INSURGENCY. THEY NEED TO IMPLEMENT FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS IF PAKISTAN IS TO HAVE ANY HOPE IN DEALING WITH THE POLYCRISIS IT FACES.

CIVIL WAR?
https://www.dawn.com/news/1754482/civil-war

PAKISTAN’S polity is fractured. Politicians are not willing to unlock horns; the economy is slipping down a steep slope; and terrorist forces are resurging. Some analysts view this situation as essentially a political crisis which will resolve by itself.


Others, less optimistic, find Pakistan in the midst of a ‘polycrisis’, with political unrest, an economic downturn and security threats pushing Pakistan towards chaos. Then there are the realists, who are concerned that Pakistan’s present civil strife might morph into a civil war.
A recent editorial in this paper also rang the alarm bell: “…the nation seems to be flirting dangerously with civil war. It is tearing itself apart under the weight of its own contradictions.”
Where exactly is Pakistan headed, and is there light at the end of the tunnel? The country is in the throes of a growing civil strife with its public places becoming a venue for regular protests, confrontation and rioting.

Social unrest is unleashing civil disorder, disobedience and disruptive strikes. If this continues unchecked, the country could well descend into a catastrophic civil war. It would be folly to think that whatever has happened in Syria, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, Sudan or Rwanda cannot happen here. Each case is different, but the common thread is an acute culture of intolerance, nurtured over time, eventually breaking down the political and social fabric.


The other feature common to these countries is the sustained political instability, with neither the ruling regime nor the opposition willing to accept a compromise. With no spirit of ‘live and let live’, the resultant chaos has been exacerbated by external forces.

The political fallout has always been borne by the people. Take Sudan, whose 46 million people have suffered for decades from political instability and military interventions. Recently, the country witnessed a fratricidal power struggle between the military leadership of the regular army and a paramilitary force. As the situation spiralled towards chaos, hidden foreign hands exacerbated the civil war. The ultimate losers were the people of Sudan.

The civil unrest in Syria, which started in March 2011, when the Assad regime ruthlessly suppressed protesters, quickly descended into civil war and an armed conflict that involved a complex web of domestic and foreign elements. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians were killed
and millions displaced.

Twelve years down the line, President Bashar al-Assad has regained control of much of Syria, but the once beautiful country has been destroyed. The most telling story is that of the Rwandan civil war, in which the Hutus and Tutsis failed to find peaceful coexistence. It ended in a genocide that left 800,000 people dead in 100 days in 1994.

We must not forget that every time our country has gone through a political and constitutional crisis, the consequences have been borne by the people. In 1971, the political leaders of the time failed to respect the results of a democratic election while military ruler Yahya Khan engaged in a reckless military operation. The result was the inglorious, bloodyseparation of Pakistan’s eastern wing. Can our political and military leadership learn a lesson from that painful chapter of our history?

Can the leading lights of our political leadership muster enough courage and will to sit at the table and resolve their issues? If they don’t, the situation might spin out of control the way it did in the aforementioned examples, with everyone losing and no one winning.

The government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wants the National Assembly to complete its five-year term, while former prime minister Imran Khan wants immediate elections. A compromise on a date for elections should not be this difficult, as May and October are only a few months apart.

The political leadership should also agree on a new social compact and rules of conduct, giving significance to the following: the military establishment has announced its intent to remain apolitical, and it must not be dragged into politics; the decisions of the Supreme Court should be respected by all; the Election Commission must not be made controversial; and social media must not be used with impunity to malign every state institution.

In this charged environment, the advice rendered by the Dawn editorial and echoed by many other independent analysts makes perfect sense: free and fair elections conducted to the satisfaction of all major parties.

The political leadership must agree on a compromise date for elections. There is no shame in reaching a compromise or conceding ground for the larger good. A compromise may not please every party, but it certainly will elicit a sigh of relief from the people of Pakistan who are losing faith and confidence in this system of governance.

FURTHER TO THE EVENTS OF MAY 9 2023 THERE IS AN ONGOING CRACKDOWN ON THE PTI AND IT'S LEADERSHIP, WORKERS AND SUPPORTERS. IT CAN BE ARGUED THAT AN UNDECLARED MARTIAL LAW IS IN MODUS OPERANDUS IN PAKISTAN.  AS THE COMPLIANT PROXY PDM GOVERNMENT HAS GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO MILITARY COURTS.

THIS IS AN UNFORTUNATE PATTERN IN PAKISTAN'S POLITICAL HISTORY AS THE PTI IS NOT THE ONLY POLITICAL PARTY WHICH HAS BEEN DEALT IN THIS WAY. THERE IS PRIMA FACIE EVIDENCE THAT PTI'S PEACEFUL PROTESTS WERE INFILTRATED BY AGENT PROVOCATEURS ENGAGED IN VIOLENT ACTS AGAINST MILITARY AND CIVILIAN PROPERTIES. AS BOTH RULING AND OPPOSITION PARTIES AGREE THAT THERE WAS PRE-PLANNING. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT.  TO DATE THAT HAS NOT TAKEN PLACE AND THAT's WHY WE CALL IT  A BLACK DAY IN PAKISTAN.

FURTHERMORE MAY 9 IS BLACK DAY FOR THE FAILURE OF THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA AND HUMAN RIGHTS INDUSTRY TO CONDEMN THE CRACKDOWN AND ADVOCATE THE RULE OF LAW IN PAKISTAN. IS HUMAN RIGHTS ADVOCACY RESERVED FOR FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES ONLY?

5 JULY ZIA's MARTIAL LAW :
DARKEST DAY IN PAKISTAN's HISTORY   



PAKISTAN: GENERALS RULE , OK ?
https://crescent.icit-digital.org/articl...ls-rule-ok

Like their Egyptian counterparts, the Pakistani generals too are an incompetent and greedy bunch. If the Egyptians’ incompetence was exposed in the June 1967 war against Israel, the Pakistanis outdid them by shamelessly surrendering to the invading Indian army in December 1971. So, who do they fight and conquer instead? Their own hapless people, of course. This is evident in the turmoil gripping Pakistan today. A small coterie of generals, led by the army chief Asim Munir, is hell-bent on manipulating the political, economic and judicial systems to maintain their grip on power. They want to retain their undeserved privileges. They also insist that politicians must obey their orders and only generals will decide who stays in power and who is to be ousted. People be damned.

Constrained by no law, the generals act as outlaws. They dismiss the constitution and the courts with contempt. How many divisions does the chief justice command to enforce his writ? Currently, their target is the former prime minister Imran Khan who, unlike other politicians, refuses to obey the generals’ orders. He demands adherence to the rule of law and immediate elections. The overwhelming majority of people support
him but the generals do not care. They have installed criminals in power while the generals make all the decisions from behind the scenes. This avoids the stigma of martial law which the western regimes do not like. They do not wish to be seen supporting military dictators even if they like the musclemen in power. The west’s hypocrisy is mind-boggling.

There is not even a whisper of protest in western capitals over the gross human rights abuses taking place in Pakistan. Human Rights Watch has raised alarm about the arbitrary arrests but western regimes have sought refuge behind the excuse that this is an “internal matter” for Pakistan.

Had such violations occurred in Syria, Iran or Venezuela, there would be loud protests and screaming headlines in the western media. Not so in Pakistan because the generals are advancing America’s agenda.

The army has arrested scores of PTI leaders and thousands of its workers. Since May 9, at least 50 to 70 workers have also been shot and killed, most of them with bullets to the head or chest. Far from expressing any concern for human life, the army has launched a campaign to decry the few military monuments vandalised by protesters.

Without conducting an impartial inquiry to identify the real culprits, the army has accused Imran Khan of instigating these attacks. This is part of a pre-planned conspiracy to disqualify him and ban his party (PTI) from contesting elections, if ever they are held. The generals want only their puppets in power to obey their orders.

Generals rule, OK?
Last month’s events starting with the May 9 mayhem clearly point to this scenario. Imran Khan was kidnapped from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) premises in an illegal and deliberately provocative manner. He was beaten up as were his security guard and lawyers. He was dragged to a waiting van and whisked away.

All this was done in broad daylight. Since the PTI had declared that their leader’s arrest was a red line, the army decided to lay a trap. The widely televised kidnapping was carried out by Rangers, a paramilitary force, under the command of the army. Informed observers believe the kidnappers were commandoes in Rangers’ uniform.

Not only did it provoke the people as expected, but the army’s agents in plain clothes joined the protesters to attack the Corps Commander’s house in Lahore and the GHQ in Rawalpindi. An air base in Mianawali, the hometown of Imran Khan, was also attacked and a plane replica at the entrance was damaged. No security personnel were present in either location. No explanation has been offered for their absence. While video footage showing PTI leaders urging their supporters not to enter the Corps Commander’s house in Lahore is available, the army’s agents provocateurs carried out their criminal acts as per the conspiracy.

It is quite revealing that immediately after these acts of vandalism, the army and its paid agents in the media and numerous politicians started to peddle the narrative that such attacks represent the “darkest day” in Pakistan’s history. The murder 50 to 70 people evoked no concern much less sympathy.

Was the surrender of 90,000 Pakistani troops to the invading Indian army on December 16, 1971 in Dhaka in front to international television cameras a day of glory? Human life has no value in Pakistan, especially if they happen to be poor. Statues and buildings, belonging to the military, are sacred. Those who damage such monuments are traitors and terrorists. They must be tried in military courts, the army insists. This amounts to de facto martial law.

The generals do not wish to take any chances by allowing trials in civilian courts. The judges may not deliver the verdicts the generals’ desire. After all, the charges against the accused—in this case PTI workers—have to be proved in court. The generals insist the accused are guilty as charged because they say so. The purpose is to have a pretext to ban the PTI from contesting elections.

If elections are held in Pakistan today and PTI allowed to participate, it would sweep the polls. The generals are terrified of this outcome. The army chief has been making speeches at various garrisons threatening to “fix” Imran Khan and teach him a lesson. The army refuses to learn any lessons itself.

The people see the army as an occupying force terrorizing people. It lives in gated communities and makes incessant demands for more resources and land to distribute among its elite members. Army officers have become real estate tycoons.

The few Pakistani journalists who have dared to highlight these facts have been kidnapped and either made to disappear or murdered. Imran Riaz Khan, Sami Ibrahim and the late Arshad Sharif are prime examples.

The generals have shed the blood of tens of thousands of Pakistani soldiers and civilians in return for bakhsheesh from the Washington warlords. The late Pakistani dictator, General Pervez Musharraf boasted in his book, In the Line of Fire, that he and his fellow generals collected millions of dollars in bounty from the Americans (p.237).

Innocent people were grabbed from the streets of Pakistan and accused of being al-Qaeda operatives. They were handed over to the Americans for money. Abu Zubaydah and Dr Afia Siddiqui, both innocent, are two of the best-known cases. Musharraf and his henchmen will have to answer to the Almighty on the Day of Judgment for such crimes even if they escaped punishment in this world.

Musharraf’s successors—Qamar Javed Bajwa and Asim Munir—are continuing this despicable tradition. For a fistful of dollars, they are prepared to shed the blood of innocent people and even go to the extent of destroying Pakistan.

Not all generals agree with the army chief but the institutional structure makes it difficult to question his destructive policies. There is only a handful of generals involved in these criminal acts that are causing immense damage to Pakistan.

These include the Chief of General Staff at the GHQ, Lt Gen Muhammad Saeed, head of the intelligence agency (ISI), Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum, DG-ISI counterinsurgency, Maj Gen Faisal Naseer, and the vice chief of general staff Maj Gen Inayat Hussain. Munir’s illegal acts have created deep divisions in the army high command and also alienated the chiefs of navy and air force.

A number of senior generals, the most prominent being Lt Gen Salman Ghani, Corps Commander Lahore, refused to obey Munir’s orders to shoot civilians. Far from taking heed, the army chief then plotted to create a scenario in which Salman would be killed. His murder would be blamed on Imran Khan to eliminate him physically from the political scene.

That General Salman Ghani survived is a miracle. He was removed from his command in Lahore and recalled to the GHQ. The conspiracy to go after PTI leaders and workers continues. A number of leading PTI figures have been coerced into publicly announcing their resignation from the party, reading from a piece of paper handed to them by some dim-witted colonel.

Videos of people being tortured by army personnel in plain clothes are widely circulated on the Internet, perhaps deliberately to instil fear in people. It is certain that PTI leaders were threatened with torture and/or threats of rape of their wives, daughters or even mothers. Some have spoken out publicly about such threats; others have hinted at them. Even women have not been spared including Dr Shireen Mazari, the former human rights minister, and Khadija Shah, a leading clothes designer from Lahore. The silence of Pakistani women’s rights defenders is deafening.

This is the real dark day and chapter in Pakistan’s history. Can Pakistan afford such criminal acts and survive?
