It’s getting difficult to keep pace with the rapidly unfolding events in Pakistan. Apparently all these recent events point to one thing — a conspiracy. It does seem to be a mere coincidence. In span of a week a number of events have taken place with apparently one aim that is to unnerve the government.
More than 100 people were killed in Quetta in twin blasts a few days back and governor rule was imposed in Balochistan subsequently dismissing the elected government, Tahirul Qadri on Monday lead a “long march” to Islamabad calling for immediate dismissal of federal and provincial governments, and now the Supreme Court’s yesterday ordered the arrest of prime minister on corruption charges. A job well done by some hidden forces.
The stage is being set for a long-term interim government with army and judiciary taking the lead role. Perhaps we will miss this once in a lifetime opportunity for an elected government to complete its entire tenure. Good luck Pakistan. — Masood Khan, Jubail
