Pakistani society in a pressure cookerThe unending vitriol and fury on the part of the PM has infected the entire PTI leadership. Earlier, everyone who thought differently from the party was labeled as a lackey of the PML-N or PPP. Journalists who dissent from the official narrative are feeling the brunt of the well organised social media trolls who heap insults and hurl threats on those who dare to differ with the government policies. Cases are being instituted against independent judges while social media trolls freely spread defamatory content about them. Once the thinking takes roots among the ruling party, stormtroopers kicking down doors are not far away.
