Pakistan’s political landscape has been marred by an intense power struggle between the military establishment and the opposition PTI party, led by the charismatic Imran Khan. This protracted conflict, often termed a “cold war,” has cast a dark shadow over the country’s stability and economic prospects. The military’s involvement in Pakistan’s political affairs is nothing new, but the current standoff with PTI has reached unprecedented levels. On the other hand, the military establishment, which has historically played a pivotal role in Pakistan’s politics, has denied any involvement in Khan’s ouster. They have portrayed his narrative as a threat to the country’s stability and have cracked down on his party’s activities.
