 Is the arrest of General Faiz? There is danger for Imran Khan

Ex-prime minister going to jail in Pakistan is not a new thing, the cases against him are also not new, what is new is that a prime minister becomes a neckbone after being expelled. The campaign has also failed to reduce Imran Khan's populist appeal, now another major player has been added to the court-martial proceedings against Imran Khan's possible choice for the army chief and former DGSI General Faiz Hameed. Now it is said that it has been decided that the security will be tighter.

 Khan Sahib himself expressed this drop two days ago and said that I feel as if I was also taken to a military trial.

Has any of the apparent motives behind the capture of Imran Khan been achieved? Has Imran Khan's politics and popularity made any difference?

Imran Khan has been officially banned from media coverage since the year he was in jail but it seems to have backfired and he has already given the warning.

 If I leave the government, I am more dangerous to you.

There is also a perspective that he has become really dangerous because the narrative he and his party have created after his ouster has become uncontrollable, putting him on a head-on collision course with the establishment. If we look at the political history of Pakistan, at every point where there are differences between the government and the establishment, the governments are in the towel and accusations of political engineering have been brought forward. General wanted to keep Faiz Hameed on the post of DGSI and the recommendation of the establishment was something else.

Now, whatever the reason, the government also went and a series of cases went on. Looking at the history of Pakistan, a question arises what was the reason behind all this? We asked the same question PTI's Zulfi Bukhari.

There were many reasons for this. Khan did not consent with the then Chief of Staff. Many of his directives or recommendations were what Khan Sahib thought was not in the country's best interest. So, as we have seen before in the history of Pakistan, when you do not agree with the establishment 100%, you are passed one motion at a time. ,

What is happening now is that the major courts of the country have ended most of the cases against Imran Khan, but he is still in jail.

Khan Sahib who is in jail at the moment is in an illegal manner and I am not saying this or Imran Khan is not saying this, his lawyer is not saying this, this is the report of the UN Working Group saying arbitrary custody. It is written that a working group of the UN is sitting and it has determined and decided that Imran Khan is in jail illegally and he should be released immediately. They want Khan Sahib to come out of jail. Khan Sahib is the most popular leader of the country at the moment and his release from prison will be very harmful for the government because they cannot handle Khan Sahib inside the jail, then outside the jail. Can you handle it?

Court martial proceedings are going on against former DG ISI General Faiz, tell us what danger this may pose to the party according to your party.

See what danger a political party can face from the arrest of an army officer. It is like General Faiz Sahib, who is a form DG, an army personnel, an army officer, whether he has done something good or bad. What has been done is the responsibility of the Army Military and the Chief Army Staff whose every action is the responsibility of the Chief Army Staff and not the Chief Army Staff authority and the party.

Putting all that aside for a second, whatever his motives and whatever is behind it, we will find the answer to one important question: what happened to Imran Khan in his one-year imprisonment and what happened to him? To understand the impact on the establishment, first of all, let us see what has happened so far. It is also important to mention here that there were allegations that Imran Khan's government came and went by manipulation. After the collapse of his government, Imran Khan was sentenced to three years in prison for not revealing his identity and the Election Commission disqualified him from contesting the elections. took his election mark,

General Faiz danger for Imran Khan

The candidates of PTI had to participate in the elections in an independent status. After the election, the internet and mobile services were stopped. 48% of them were not connected. 93 out of 272 centres were won by PTI back candidates. The general impression was created that Nawaz Sharif would become the prime minister, but it did not happen. Looking at the election results, it is clear that whatever the policies of the party, whatever the cases against them. Despite all this, a section of people in the country supported his narrative defied the crackdown and voted. Imran Khan's narrative is also supported by Pakistanis living outside the country. They campaign for the liberation of Imran Khan. Imran Khan's name has also been submitted for the chancellorship of Oxford University in the United Kingdom. will do

Our simple point is that oppression is happening at the moment, our simple point is that there is no rule of law in Pakistan at the moment and our simple point is that there is no democracy in Pakistan at the moment and we want these things back in Pakistan. I want Pakistan to be better, but internationally, we will knock on every door.

Now, if you look at the broad picture, many questions were raised about Imran Khan's four-year performance. In fact, the opposition parties used to blame the establishment for bringing Imran Khan into the government in the last days of Imran Khan's government. His popularity was affected due to the deteriorating economy and rising inflation. This could have been an important factor in the elections, but after the fall of Imran Khan's government, an anti-establishment narrative was built by the PTI. His support base on Twitter and social platforms became so popular that it became difficult for even the most powerful institutions of the country to handle. Imran Khan was constantly targeting some people in his rallies and statements.

Imran Khan

 It is your current Mir Jafar and Mir Sadiq who, along with outside forces, are bringing these changes in a country, which remember, I repeat again, this nation will not let you forget it for the rest of your life.

On the one hand, the party and Imran Khan were saying that they were not against the army, but at the same time, they were posting things that targeted the army, such as sharing things about the breakup of Pakistan in 1971. Imran Khan's support is based on ideas and narratives. was accepted, now even if only certain names were being taken, but the entire institution was being targeted, the establishment had never spoken so openly against the establishment, on the other hand, there were allegations that there was a behind-the-scene deal with the PTI establishment. Trying to do it

DG ISI Nadeem Anjum

if your heart is satisfied that your army chief is a traitor, Mir Jafar, then why are you meeting him behind the scenes? I have no objection to meeting you. Respond to the voice of every citizen, but do not make it so that you meet us behind closed doors in the silence of the night, but it cannot be that in the light of religion, you call the same servant a traitor, in your words and actions, in your thoughts and actions. Open, such a large number is not good.

This press conference was an unprecedented move, but the anti-establishment narrative did not decrease in the end, the red line which was repeatedly mentioned by PTI supporters was crossed and Imran Khan was arrested, a red line Imran Khan. If there were, the second red line proved to be a significant point in the power struggle after it was made clear that no one who crossed the red line of the establishment would be spared, no matter how powerful they were. After that there was a severe crackdown on the leadership of PTI, one after another many party leaders separated from the party, the party disintegrated and during all this Imran Khan remained in jail. The question is that this battle of narrative Is there any damage to the establishment?

Message I have seen that what has come in this election from the people is that there is anger against the system which is interfering in politics again and again due to which such a political party. It was seen that the entire state was against this political party there were many kinds of leaflets, many kinds of accusations of terrorism riots were being made, but still, people came out and voted for the same political party. If he voted for Anti-Establishment, which is your vote, this time he went to PTI, but what has not changed and I have to say with great regret is that perhaps Imran Khan's politics and his politics are still the same. She is looking towards the establishment and they are the ones who will bring me to power.

According to experts, a link in the narrative war between the establishment and the PTI has been some establishment figures such as former ISI chief General Faiz Hameed, who is believed to be Imran Khan's LI, but indications are that he may no longer be an issue. There was a time when General Faiz Hameed was one of the most powerful people in Pakistan. General Faiz is being court-martialed and this is not a small matter. He was the former head of ISI.

Therefore, we believe that there is a great danger for Anna Khan Sahib in the grip of General Faiz if the facts will come out. Khan Sahib himself expressed this danger two days ago and said that yes, it seems like I was also taken to a military trial.

Not only this, many other officers have also been arrested who are accused of being the facilitators of Imran Khan. Now, although the case in which General Faiz is being court martialed has nothing to do with PTI, experts in these matters do not understand separately,

Somewhere, I will say that everything is somehow related to Imran Khan, because overall it seems that there is a gate Imran operation, and even before that, Imran Khan has a very close relationship with General Faiz. And he has said many times on the record that I did not even want to remove him from DGI and this became a cause between me and General Bajwa which later became a problem. That is to say, all this, the arrest of General Faiz, the case that will be made against him, all this will come to Imran Khan. An interesting thing has also happened that Imran Khan said in a court a few months ago. A petition was also submitted that he had submitted a petition against my military trial, so I think an impression is being made at this time that this matter may go in this direction, perhaps there will be a military trial of Imran Khan in the courts But I would definitely like to say here that at this time we are in a very uncharted territory, it is very difficult to say in which direction the situation will go or what kind of situation will be created because neither Imran Khan nor the rules of the game. believe and operate under any rules nor does our establishment operate under any rule-of-game

We explored how the ongoing narrative war and power struggle in Pakistan affected Imran Khan's popularity. We also looked at the damage done to the establishment green. The destruction of the economy where Imran Khan has been accusing other parties that they have destroyed the country's economy, the same accusation has been made against Imran Khan.

The biggest budget deficit in history is going to happen in this financial year. Budget deficit does not understand how they used to sleep.

 Now the question is whether there has been economic development after the reign of Imran Khan and whether the current government and the supervisory setup before it has been able to do anything. But inflation in Pakistan was shy of 12.7% which increased to 35.4% at the end of March 2023 and then fell to 20.6% in March 2024. This is still the same figure at the time of no confidence motion against Imran Khan. was more than that,

 Moder of Economics Atif Mian gave an analysis in one of his posts. He gave some data and said that the last two years were the worst in Pakistan's economic history. Never before has inflation been so high and growth so low. There was a global crisis in 2009 and 2020, but what happened in the country in the last two years is their own fault, Pakistan has escaped default.

In July of this year, an agreement of seven billion was reached between Pakistan and the IMF, but it is still difficult, if possible, to get out of the vortex of economic disaster. Favourable because their leadership keeps using these situations to their advantage and makes people believe that only Imran Khan can pull them out of this storm.

General Faiz danger for Imran Khan

One important thing is that if there are cases against anyone, whether it is Imran Khan or anyone else, it has to be decided by the justice system. And there is no benefit to their opponents. It has become clear from our discussions and experts that people have grown up and in this war of narrative control, the state is losing, and the people of the country are also losing.
