Is Pakistan heading for martial law once again? I think that's the only way the situation can be controlled.
If strikes and demonstrations are used as tools to bring down democratically elected governments, then it's a dangerous trend that needs to be nipped in the bud.
So what does Imran want?
“I want electoral reforms....
“No, wait. I want a partial recount....
“Scratch that. I want Nawaz Sharif’s resignation.”
The problem with asking for Nawaz Sharif’s resignation is that there is no legal, constitutional way for this to happen. Either parliament has to have a no-confidence vote, which is unlikely because Sharif’s party has a majority, or the Supreme Court declares his election victory null and void. That’s unlikely because Imran himself refused to take that course.
So what's next?
