Karachi Karachi
Pakistan's establishment destroyed Karachi when it decided to adopt Muhajir Qaumi Movement of Altaf Hussain in 1980s under the patronage of military dictator Gen. Zia-ul-Haq. Bhutto's anti-Muhajir policies such as the infamous quota system allowed General Sahib's blue eyed boy Altaf Hussain to use Muhajir card.
The reason why General Sahib wanted Karachi in the hands of ethnic MQM was Zia didn't want Karachi of 1968 that humiliated his predecessor Gen. Ayub Khan who was finally forced to step down. General sahib kicked out religious politics of JUP and JI from Karachi, Hyderabad etc. and placed an anti-PPP threat in the urban Sindh.
Before 1988 elections, a hidden hand killed Muhajirs at the hands of some 'na-maloom' Sindhi terrorists and it gave MQM a good number of NA seats in the urban Sindh. The new General sahib's plan was working. By 1992, Altaf Hussain was no more required, so an Operation Cleanup was launched and Altaf Hussain was sent to London so that he could be further used when required.
Khomeni Factor
Khomeni's revolution in Iran forced Pakistan's military establishment to use already adopted Wahabi / Deobandi faction of Islam for neutralising shia surge in Pakistan. Shias were handled on the ideological front as well as in the streets throughout the Afghan war and in 1990s because we didn't want a shia revolution in a sunni majority country.
Barelvi Revival
Now that Wahabi / Deobandi militancy had strengthened their grip in Pakistan's politics, it was important they were neutralised as well to some extent. Now Barelvi revival began. Deobandi-Barelvi rivalry was fanned and promoted throughout 1990s.
Post 9/11
Wahabi / Deobandi militancy wasn't yet under control. General sahib applied the reverse gear in Afghanistan and Pakistan. A hidden hand launched a wave of terror against Barelvi shrines; the Barelvis now hated the Wahabis/Deobandis from the core of heart and demanded the armed forces to crack down the terrorists. Lal Masjid brigade, TTP were branded as terrorists and were faced by military operations.
Further, the shias were attacked by 'the hidden hand' and it added to shias' hatred for Wahabis/Deobandis, and they also demanded a military operation against the Taliban and Khawarij and Takfiris.
General sahib's hidden hand worked efficiently.
Getting rid of Bhutto
Nawaz Sharif had already jumped off the bandwagon of General Sahib in 1990s; he had started believing he was a great leader and had never entered politics by riding the back of General sahib. 1999's Musharraf coup had further infuriated this great leader of Pakistan.
For many years, Benazir and Nawaz were not allowed to return to Pakistan, General sahib kept playing and winning one sided matches till he was forced to allow Benazir to return.
Benazir was no doubt a seasoned politicians and a charismatic leader. Nawaz Sharif was like a desi politician in front of Benazir. He was not charismatic at all. He used typical Punjabi feudals and industrialists to do 'national politics'.
Benazir was assassinated by 'a hidden hand' once again, people said it was Baytullah Mehsud, like they always said it was Taliban or Lashkar-e-Jhangvi who attacked shias and barelvis.
Nawaz Sharif and Imran Niazi
After Benazir's removal, Imran Niazi was adopted by General sahib to handle Nawaz Sharif. The man who ran a Tonga Party called PTI like the Tonga Party of Sheikh Rasheed was given defected politicians and electables from PPP and other parties. Finally in 2013 election, PTI was able to bag a decent number of seats and was allowed to run its provincial government in KP. Establishment's another puppet JI was ordered to join PTI.
Since 2013, Imran Niazi and his masters in uniform didn't let Nawaz Sharif to run his government smoothly. Sit ins, agitations, scandals were used to malign Nawaz Sharif. Finally in 2017 Nawaz Sharif was disqualified.
Nawaz still haunting
However, even after disqualification, Nawaz Sharif's name is still on the tip of Imran Niazi's tongue. Wherever he goes, even yesterday addressing his supporters he talked about Nawaz Sharif and Nawaz Sharif. It appears he doesn't use the name of God as much as he uses the name of Nawaz Sharif.
