GEN MUNIR LOSES THE PEOPLE TO IMRAN IN PAK ELECTIONS

Despite the Selection Commission of Pakistan obeying the GHQ Rawalpindi diktat that PTI elements be wiped out, followers of Imran Khan have emerged as the largest group in the National Assembly.

GHQ Rawalpindi’s efforts have been accelerating since October 2023 to sufficiently break the spirit of former Prime Minister Imran Khan of Pakistan to the point where he comes crawling at the feet of the generals. Such is exactly the way a long procession of former Prime Ministers of Pakistan has done in the past. Thus far, the former cricket star has held firm in opposing

Pakistan’s military dictatorship (known locally as the Establishment), despite the mental and physical torture being heaped on him, as well as on his family, friends and supporters. Thus far, the cricketing star has remained bruised, abused but unbowed from within his prison cell, much to the dismay of Chief of General Staff Asim Munir, who has methodically orchestrated the campaign designed to either break the spirit of resistance of Imran Khan or to destroy him politically, if not physically.

Interestingly, an Ai-generated voice purporting to reflect the views of Imran Khan on the election results has suddenly been aired. What seems odd is that the Ai-generated audio of Imran requests his followers to “celebrate as PTI has won the election”. This is the reverse of the truth, as rigging by GHQ Rawalpindi has kept the seat tally of Imranbacking independents to a much lower tally than would be the case in a fair election. The Pti-backed independents are a minority in the National Assembly, contrary to the AI audio assertions of a PTI “victory”. A hypothesis for such an audio clip getting released could be that the Ai-generated voice clip was released to the public by elements linked to GHQ Rawalpindi so as to keep PTI supporters from rioting as a consequence of the rigging of the polls and the fixed match being held to ensure that Nawaz or Shahbaz Sharif becomes Prime Minister. Why would Imran Khan ask his supporters to celebrate such a situation? Unless he publicly affirms that the clip represents his views, it is not certain that the views expressed in it are a genuine reflection of the views of the PTI supremo. The release of the audio clip could have been designed to have the effect of calming his supporters for long enough to give the heads of the Four Pillars of the state in Pakistan, the Army, the Air Force, the Navy and the paramilitary formations enough time to bribe and intimidate enough independents among the newly elected National Assembly members to ensure a sufficient majority for a government led by Nawaz or Shahbaz Sharif. And to ensure that the law and order machinery is brought into shape to take care of the unrest that will follow when a Prime Minister other than Imran gets sworn in, especially Nawaz Sharif. Unless there has been a secret deal by Imran with GHQ Rawalpindi such that he is to be released from jail and made Prime Minister once again,
