K.C. Singh | Imran-Army row: Tragedy replayed or rebalancing?

Deccan Chronicle  

The imbroglio in Pakistan has been in the making ever since Imran Khan assumed office as Prime Minister in July 2018. Gen. Bajwa even got a three-year extension of tenure in August 2019, which was preceded by the current Army chief, Gen. Syed Asif Munir, then serving as the head of the Inter-Services Intelligence, prematurely removed from his post on June 16, 2019 on Imran Khan’s insistence. Subsequently, differences between Gen. Bajwa and his erstwhile protégé began emerging over the handling of the economic and foreign policies by the government, as Imran Khan asserted independence. Media reports hinted that Gen. Bajwa also took exception to the abusive Punjabi words employed by Mr Khan about Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. A rebalancing of civil-military relations may well happen if Imran Khan physically survives the current impasse and later sweeps the general election.
