Decoding the High-Stakes Game Between Sharif Brothers and Pak Army
Dawn’s veteran journalist Zahid Hussain gave a sharp insight on the state of Pakistan’s civil-military relations in a recent column. He wrote, “The proxy war between the two institutions is now being fought on TV talk shows.” Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s diplomatic assault on Pakistan followed by the surgical strikes has worsened the rift. The Pakistan government’s bizarre reaction to the Cyril Almeida story is a clear pointer of the country heading into stormy weather. On 6 October, Dawn’s assistant editor Cyril Almeida reported that at a meeting of top civil and military leaders presided by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhari conveyed that Pakistan’s leading international partners wanted the country to change course and take action against the Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad and the Haqqani network.
