In Pakistan, the government is formed by the same party, which is supported by a powerful army. Even if a government is formed, it can run only as long as the army is happy with it. At some point or the other, the army gets angry with the government. As a result the government falls. Just one example is enough to prove these things. And that is that no elected government of Pakistan could complete the five-year term till now. Imran too could not complete the term.
It is believed that the farewell of Imran government is also scripted. The reason for this is also the displeasure of the army. According to a report, one day in February, Imran was talking about the Army and Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa in a car. A minister who was close to him recorded them. A few minutes later, this call recording reached General Bajwa. After this the Imran government’s game is over. However, the method was adopted a bit civilized. Come on, let’s know what was the matter.
Know which minister spoiled the game
According to Pakistan’s senior journalist Zafar Abbas Naqvi, despite the bad situation in the country, Army Chief Bajwa might have faced the failures of Imran Khan, but Home Minister Sheikh Rashid spoiled Imran’s game. By the way, the distance between Bajwa and Imran increased in October last year. Imran wanted that the then Chief of ISI, General Faiz Hameed, should not be transferred to Peshawar.
The reason was that Faiz and Bajwa had the most important role in bringing Imran to power. Hameed had also led the government with a minority of 155 seats to a majority of 179. Later Imran repaid the favor by giving Bajwa an extension of three years. However, Imran and Bajwa went face to face after stopping Faiz’s transfer.
This incident happened in February
According to Zafar, the incident is of February. Then the opposition coalition Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) had made it clear in a press conference that they would soon bring a no-confidence motion against the government. There had been a no-confidence motion against Imran Khan once in 2021 and he was easily overcome due to the patronage of the army. This time also he was careless.
Zafar says – Imran and Sheikh Rashid were going to Banigala (Imran’s house) in the same car. During this, someone’s call came and Imran started talking to the person in front on many issues. During this, there was also mention of the army and General Bajwa. Imran said some things which were strictly against the army and Bajwa. It is alleged that Sheikh Rashid recorded these things and later passed them on to General Bajwa. Shortly after this, the army decided to go neutral. That is, it has been decided that Imran’s government will not run anymore.
On the other hand, the opposition and people were also creating pressure. Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam openly told the hand of the army behind Imran. Due to this the army was getting disgraced. Imran’s failures on every front made the right choice.
After all, who said ‘I should not even keep Rashid a servant’
You must watch a video proof of Imran and Sheikh Rashid’s relationship. This is from May 2008. Imran and Sheikh Rashid were face to face in a TV debate. It is always said about Rashid that the government should be of any party in the country, but Rashid of Lal Haveli will definitely become a minister. Reason – Rasheed is the mouth of the army. He is also called the pawn of the army.
However, in the TV debate, Imran was asked- If your government is formed, will Sheikh Rashid be made a minister in his party? Imran said in front of Rashid – I should not even make him my peon. The language probably has no importance in politics. Rashid first became the Railway Minister in the Imran government and is now the Home Minister. Apposition calls them ‘lota’.
