If you want to get an understanding of why these duffers did this, please go and watch Wajahats vlog from yesterday.
He puts across a message he received from a start officer in the ISI (he more or less confirms it's MG Faisal), and within that statement, the MG says that IK's popularity is nosediving, his campaign has faltered, and twitter following is also going down.
Leaving aside the fact that a MG should not be approaching journalists and putting out personal statements and leveling accusations against former PM's and DG's and politicians, it gives you a glimpse into the absolute braindead logic of NDU's finest!
@RescueRanger , I am very split between the two scenarios, that either this is all very well orchestrated for a takeover, or are these fools so stupid that they actually thought that IK is a dead horse now. The statement to Wajahat is straight from the horse's mouth, not even second hand info. It's verbatim.
I would not hesitate one second now to believe that these fine folks are this stupid and braindead. In ko in kay det kay officer or duty JCO kia reportain dete hain, I am baffled.
Do you remember that phrase in fauji circles bloody phool… These mega minds and “master planners” spent too much time building dairy farms and housing societies.
Ignorant to the real pulse of the nation, Imran Khan has the hopes of the nation on his shoulders, what an immense burden that must be.
They ignored or at least chose to ignore the plight of the masses, the downtrodden and the poor. If these geniuses were as astute as they believe themselves to be they should have sat down and looked at the general mood on social media, a good benchmark for the mood of the nation.
The signs were all there, #redlines were mentioned, they decided to bulldoze their way across the hopes and desires of the people, because the “bloody civilian” mentality is deeply engrained sadly.
They saw him as a fading star, well guess what, that fading star shines in the hearts and minds of every disenfranchised Pakistan, brighter than the sun.
When they arrested him, it was a massive middle finger to the “bloody civilians” they thought we can manipulate the situation to our advantage, there will be limited protests, it will fizzle out and people will go back to worrying about “roti kappa makaan”.
They thought wrong. Despite my diatribe of the “master planners”, I still worry about there being more than meets the eye here and the nation finds herself in a very delicate situation.
Whatever happens Pakistan had the second highest risk for political instability second only to North Korea.
Moody had mentioned that there is risk of bankruptcy if bailout packages are not agreed, bailouts that require political security, among all this, we will not see any bailout packages.
To add further misery, our greatest ally had demanded political stability and security to be considered a priority for future cooperation between China and Pakistan.
That too now hangs in the balance.
Like I said earlier, what a cluster ****.
