Everything is a bloody excuse in this country for the powerful to do the bare minimum for the country to remain barely afloat while they can complete their tenures (or perhaps extend them) and retire / move on with protection/benefits/etc., while the country's people and interests drown in apathy.
When it comes to supporting the Kashmiri resistance, FATF is used as the main excuse (or the economy in general.) This means that if we had the current lot in charge during our nuclear program, they would have opted
against our tests because of the fear of sanctions and a devastated economy (Sartaj Aziz did argue against our tests for exactly these reasons --- thankfully, even Nawaz Sharif demonstrated some balls that day and ordered the tests!)
Another killer excuse is foreign/media criticism around human rights if traitors, killers, etc. (journalists, politicians, etc.) start disappearing. So --- the Deep State doesn't do what's necessary to save the country because of some f*cking criticism in some newspapers / negative foreign press? For God's sake ---
