I know there have been many threads about the current Long Marches in Pakistan and yet I feel that there should be a sort of 'crystallization' of the idea that radical events like true revolutions don't and can't happen in a non-conducive environment. If they are forced-upon by the military boots or the mullahs or the communists--whatever--to a society not ready for such upheavels--then the results are usually catastrophic.
Please ponder this: Imran Khan's own party members--barely 1.5 years after the 2013 elections--are trying to hold on to their seats AGAINST their leader's wishes. At this point, you could say, they are just 'rumors'. But I doubt that. I doubt that because since the early 70's I have seen plenty of political dramas in Pakistan and I know Pakistani political nature some.

PTI members not keen on resigning from K-P assembly – The Express Tribune
PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) legislatures in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa assembly are not keen on resigning from the provincial assembly, party insiders told The Express Tribune on Monday.
PTI provincial assembly members were in a defiant mood, insiders said while requesting anonymity. They added that “the chief minister and the speaker K-P assembly expressed their serious concerns on the decision during a meeting held in the federal capital.”
“Yes, the two, CM K-P and speaker K-P assembly resisted the idea of tendering resignations from the provincial assembly, instead they were of the view that they will form another government by taking 14 disgruntled members of PTI onboard,” insiders said.
Meanwhile, K-P Minister for Information and Higher Education Mushtaq Ahmed Ghani warned that his government could suspend the distribution of electricity to other parts of country from Tarbela Dam if the federal government tried to disconnect a single power connection to K-P.
Earlier Minister for Water and Power Khawaja Asif said that the government would disconnect power connections to those who refuse to pay their dues.
Talking to media persons on phone, Ghani said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) government in K-P would keep collecting taxes even though Imran Khan had announced the launch of a civil disobedience campaign.
Claiming that the K-P government was not the product of rigging and have a genuine mandate, the minister said that it would continue serving and collecting taxes.
