Imran Khan succumbs to the pressure of the deep state

Islamabad, March 29,  2022: Things are happening rapidly in Pakistan that undermines democracy and the rule of law. Ostensibly, the Deep States is in full swing to get rid of Prime Minister Imran Khan. And it seems that he has succumbed to its pressure. This reading is based on the fact that he agreed to the demand of the establishment to get rid of the Chief Minister of Punjab Usman Buzdar. Not only that but he accepted the nominee of the deep state Chaudhry Pervez Elahi to replace Buzdar. Arguably, Elahi is well known for his corruption and wheeling dealings, come what may.

By promoting Elahi Imran Khan is also saying goodbye to his anti-corruption tirade. Thus the status quo is maintained and back to square one.
