Imran Khan was stupid and too naive to think COAS was working for Pakistan. He works for his institution and to further it’s interest. That’s the hard reality.
Even if it means bringing Altaf Hussain to become Pakistan’s PM, that will further establishment’s interest, he will do it by hook or crook.
Imran Khan most likely will not become PM, but let it be a lesson for future leaders. If he/she comes to the helm, come in good terms, but when you are on the throne, be ferocious and brutal in dealing with the establishment and your political enemies especially when you have public on your side. Because if you don’t, they’ll come back to haunt you.
It’s a dog eat dog world up there. Institutional harmony circus can be played when your opponents are cut to size.
