Is now the plan to give the public a lollipop, a neutered Khan? Out on “bail” and have what they allow of his party to remain to play its part in the
facade called “Pakistani democracy”; and not to point at the wizard of oz behind it.
With a plan that the next election is better rigged. No more form 45/47 evidence lying around to catch them in their blatant fraud.
A very informative statement indirectly delivered from “them”, reading between the lines:
What saved the CCP after Tiananmen was that they were able to deliver economically. Even if they try to rap up PTI, it will just kick the can down the road, but for how long. Trump, the GCC, China, no one is willing to bail out Pakistan’s economic mess again, so what is the plan? They expect people to forget by 2028, and hope somehow the economy will be good enough by then.
Ironically, IK did bring a change, he politicized a generation in the heart of the key populations of interest to the elite; inside the northern Punjab, inside business and military families. It also reaffirmed AQ Khan’s regrets to serve Pakistan and not the interests of his own family. The exodus of professionals and wealth will only accelerate, because without people feeling enough of the elites are willing to endure the reforms with them, they might as well do what is best for them.
It won’t be surprising if society gets more selfish, culture break down accelerates, especially amongst the youth. Those that can, especially with the right skills and are young enough, might as well flee for greener pastures, the system looks set to waste their time.
