That's what
@ziaulislam meant, I think . After IK, there little hope until a new figurehead emerges.
Sure, people won't go back to sher ik wari fer. That's water under the bridge. But, the movement to take back the country will die off. The opportunists that make up PTI top tier will be infighting before khan is 6 feet under.
In fact, IK explicitly said in an off the record meeting with journalists couple days ago that now all efforts are to kill him. There is literally no other way to get rid of the spectre of accountability. First it was accountability for chors, now it's also accountability for the collaborator chowkidars. It's do or die for them. Do not for a second think, they won't try another wazirabad. The 145 cases (last I checked) are nothing other than exposing him for assassination. No chance in hell he will be convicted or otherwise damaged via these bogus cases. This is just to assassinate him at the right time.
