Correct. You are consistent.
I don't think Imran is alienated from the Establishment by saying a few good words about India's foreign policy. And I actually admire Imran for being honest in his voicing his opinion. But IF I were to guess, then I think the roots of Imran vs the Establishment were planted around the appointment of the DG ISI sometime late last year but that was not the only factor.
Months before this NCM saga, Hamid Mir had remarkably predicted a really bad year for Imran Khan. His last few words in the article quoted below are carefully said and are full of meanings. You don't have to believe him but it is worth reading.
According to some reports, the new head of Pakistan’s powerful intelligence agency, ISI, Lt. Gen. Nadeem Ahmad Anjum, is trying to keep a low profile. If true, that’s bad news for Khan. If the ISI remains neutral it will be difficult for Khan to defeat a no-confidence move in Parliament, where his majority is very thin. (He stirred up a huge fuss last year when he used the ISI’s support to maintain his party’s control in parliament.)
Khan is also facing an investigation by the Election Commission over irregularities in funds received from outside Pakistan. This case is a ticking time bomb for Khan. Unfortunately for him, that’s not the only potential disaster he’s likely to face in the year ahead.
as far as my knowledge, IK had a little problem with ISI chief. He got to know from his close aide that ISI chief has good relations with PPP. That surprised IK. No idea about the background of this.
