Islamabad. “Whispers” in the country’s ruling party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have said that Prime Minister Imran Khan may target and sack Army Chief (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa and a senior leader of his Can appoint non-disputes to take sides and grant them bail. This information has been given in the Friday Times report.
However, this is a very risky proposition.
The Friday Times reported that in 1972, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto sacked the army and air force chiefs and turned away because he had done it differently, when both armies had been in the Bangladesh crisis and the aftermath of the war. Was struggling.
But the empire rebounded in 1977 when their elected army chief, General Zia-ul-Haq, sent him packing and later hanged him.
Nawaz Sharif sacked General Jehangir Karamat for a minor lapse, but General Pervez Musharraf paid institutional praise in 1999 and plagued the former prime minister for a decade.
If such a situation arises this time, what will be the reaction of General Bajwa and his corps commanders, nothing is known.
But one thing is certain that in today’s charged political climate, the decision to become ‘neutral’ is an institutional miltblishment decision and not an individual one, the report said.
There are strong reasons for this stance. The military establishment has realized that its mixed-use under Khan’s leadership has failed in a deal that has brought the institution into disrepute.
Now that the public’s mood is anti-PTI, as every opinion poll shows, they can’t afford to see Khan embracing.
A large number of PTI MNAs are not the only ones involved in the opposition’s stables.
The principal secretary to the prime minister, who is believed to be responsible for some bad advice and decisions, has made a hasty plan to flee to safer pastures.
A Friday Times report claimed that several special assistants, advisers and ministers were also ready to flee.
The opposition has now demonstrated an absolute majority of over 172 MNA votes to bring a no-confidence motion against Khan’s PTI government.
