I actually think that shows how the PTI is different - still displaying a degree of concern for the average resident despite the anger over an assassination attempt on their leadership.

They supported violence and anarchy and attacked the State of Pakistan and its sovereignty, not a peaceful means of protest and change through elections like Imran Khan. There is no comparison to be made here and you are thread banned for polluting and instigating.

Please stop - this creates a lot of work for the mods. If a post is genuinely breaking the rules of the forum then report it and add a negative rating, but not just because you disagree with the views.

That's not how social media works and you can't force it to behave the way you want without alienating a good chunk of members. The fact remains that the Establishment and Noon League have laid the groundwork for the accusations that you see with their own actions and policies - now they have...

Any kind of justification for violence and/or criminal activity will not be tolerated. If you disagree with someone's views, then counter them with your own views, not with violence or support or justification for violence.

Seems like a decoy. The sound of gunshots from the video indicated an automatic weapon of some kind.

As far as the war for civilian supremacy, you are correct, the Establishment has not blinked, but they did blink in the most recent standoff.

Imran Khan made the Establishment blink.

What's the punishment for a serving Army officer interfering and manipulating the political process? Will the COAS at the time also be held responsible or is Shuja Pasha going to claim that he made the decision to violate the constitution on his own?

We've been over this multiple times, yet you lot insist on regurgitating your dissembling excuses. The basic framework required a tripartite consensus on demilitarization, a process in which India showed its complete lack of sincerity by demanding a unilateral withdrawal by Pakistan first and...

What's stopping India from implementing them now? Oh, right, the same old hegemonic, expansionist attitude that prevented it from implementing it in the past.

It'll be interesting if this does happen. The DG ISI/ISPR joint press conference already implied that the Army leadership was interfering in political affairs, and therefore violating the constitution. If Shuja Pasha or anyone else comes out and states that 'they launched Imran Khan', then...

An easier option to accomplish that would be for the GOI to stop feeding the Indian masses the churan of ‘India will break apart if it lets the Kashmiris exercise the option of self-determination’ as outlined by the UNSC Resolutions pending for decades.

Of course - the latest installment of that is playing out in front of us right now, and what Imran Khan did (disagree with the Army leadership on foreign policy, making corruption convictions an important part of his agenda and dictating critical appointments like the DG ISI, as the constitution...

By no means should a constitution be static, and it can't be over time, either in terms of interpretation or actual language. However, most constitutions (and this is certainly the case in India and Pakistan) define mechanisms under which, to quote you, the sanctity of the constitution can be...

‘Same page’ meant both institutions acting in harmony per the constitution. There is nothing wrong with the Military leadership offering suggestions/advice etc to an elected government or an elected government seeking advice from the military leadership, provided the constitution is not violated...

Hence the old taunt of ‘Most countries have an Army, but in Pakistan the Army has a country’.
