We must act to stop power grabsIn its over seven decades of history, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has never experienced an orderly transfer of power. Another power grab took place, and Iskander Mirza, the senior bureaucrat, combined with the Army Chief to force the Governor General to step down. It is based on power grab as they were launched by the Master Grabber Zia and his team. Again a power grab revolt was carried out by some Generals and the Air Chief who wanted restoration of civilian rule. After a disputed ballot the establishment decides the transfer of power framework, which defeats the entire exercise and results in a power grab.
