No, I'm not. Why would you relocate the federal capitol from Karachi to Islamabad when you have your greatest enemy right next door only few miles away? Mountains will not be enough to stop a full assault by India. They will transport their heavy artillery across the terrain using C-17 and helicopters. If GHQ command & control is there in Rawalpindi, how long will it take for IAF aircraft to cross border and strike? They snuck through PAF defenses using blind spots for Balakot. It wouldn't take long for them to overwhelm defenses near the border and strike GHQ. Few salvos of Brahmos cruise missiles and it's goodnight for Bajwa and his corps commanders.
Peshawar or Quetta would have been much safer, you had no threat from Afghanistan in early history. Establishment's quest for "strategic depth" through Afghan proves my point. Furthermore, PTM and BLA wouldn't be an issue because development of Pakistan's Western axis would have prevented alienation of the people in FATA or Balochistan.
Federal government is not splitting Karachi from Sindh.
They are either going to use Article 149 to one of the following:
- Force Sindh govt. to restore Karachi local govt. In this scenario, Karachi is still part of Sindh (More likely)
- Take over administrative control of Karachi. Even in this case, Karachi is still part of Sindh (Less likely)
Personally, I feel PTI should declare governor rule in Sindh - PPP has done the same in its past so it can't complain. Governor rule can be used to remove Wadera, Sardars, Jagirdars and liberate the Sindhi people. Solve water, food, health crisis of Sindh on an emergency basis with the help of the army. PPP doesn't have the competence to do so, nor do they even care enough to even consider.
