They are the result of the military actions that made Blasphemy Law reality, East Pakistan to Bangladesh and almost made the same mistake with Balochistan until Zardari, despite his reputation for 10%, undid the damages on Balochistan through his diplomatic tactics for years made pathway for Nawaz Sharif to carry on and fast-track CPEC.
It is same military that missed great opportunity to claim IOK in 62 during the war between India and China which Ayub Khan was ordered not to get involved by Uncle Sam.
By the way, you are not gonna find real history in Pakistani history books. They are censored for reasons.
Even corruptions exist largely in the first world, that doesn't stop the world from progressing nor that did.
Pakistan deserves better, but we live in real world where the lines between right and wrong has been blurred, and to the extent, it now boils down to the survival of the nation as whole now.
I would very much welcome change, but the change is not there yet. If you are talking about PTI, then it is same political party that discharged its own local accountability team for allegedly exposing the corruption from within. The same political party that had years of pro-stances for TTP that challenged the existential of Pakistan; not to mention responsible for killing more than 50,000 people including children and women. So that leaves the option to what now?
As for now, the stability is best option provided the democracy goes smoothly and hopefully new political party emerges from the democracy system.
You could argue that but in Pakistan case, they are pretty consistent when it comes to the national interests of Pakistan.
IK supporting TTP is proven fact, and later became official in COAS meeting in the year of 2014 to counter General Kiyani proposal; the military project. The same COAS which Imran Khan was caught lying misquoting General Kiyani by stating that the military operation has 40% chance to succeed, which later denied and clarified by General Kiyani by stating that the military can eradicate only 40% portion of terrorism and more military operation are needed to eradicate terrorism.
As for Noora begging Talibans to leave Punjab alone, they were begging, not making deal since Zardari was federal government of Pakistan, the only one with the authority to make deals, who was not interested in the military operation repeatedly proposed by General Kiyani. Imran Khan was the face of TTP which enjoined the majority of people in favor of peace proposal for TTP depsite TTP being openly caught for killing innocent people in front of people of Pakistan.
Since PMLN had no authority, hence it was literally begging since Zardari was not interested in the military operation. It cannot be coincident that soon after PMLN came into the power, the military operation was proposed to stabilize the economy that was damaged by TTP thanks to Zardari not listening to General Kiyani for years, and on the top of it, succeeded by Imran Khan propagating TTP as face of peace.
That is not only reason, but among many reasons, one of them was his rigid and stubborn stances. He refused to consider from the military operation's point of view despite the evidence in regards to TTP openly killing innocent people in front of Pakistan.
TTP was the major threat and still is, and there is no way the main establishment is going to risk with raving madman that cannot reconcile with given his rigid and his stubborn stances that contradicted the national interests of Pakistan for years.
It makes sense why PMLN is set to win the next election because of collaboration between General Sharif and PM Sharif that contributed heavily to stabilize the economy of Pakistan in the shortest period of time despite all of the odds. After what Zardari and Imran Khan did during the tenure of Zardari as federal government, they can say goodbye to the position of federal government of Pakistan for the time being since the main establishment is not in mood to risk TTP letting off the hook.
