That is what you call "Tactical Move" - in Military terms or you can say in western Terms. Two Perspectives one is for the "Local Audience" and the second is for "International Audience".
For the local audience, in front of them it’s a blunder by IK (no doubt) But what about international audience (from whom IK did what).
Let’s come to the point. IK actually hit two things with single shot. First IK is a "Political Party". He can't attack with mobs on the parliament and diplomatic enclave. He is running democratic identity (Political party). It will be a big blunder for his party in future’s perspective if he did such thing. As we know Nawaz Shareef and his cabinet attacked Supreme Court in 90s and till today they're facing that case.
- What is Tactical move of IK.
IK gave the ultimatum to PM for two days and announced to launch a civil disobedience campaign against the government.
Now today what exactly happens? Before, the international media was not covering the political crisis of Pakistan. Today all the Int. media start reporting "Headline" about Civil disobedience by PTI in Pakistan and halt all the state functions in "Capital" of Pakistan. That is what his agenda to call the west, “We as a PTI, 2nd largest party shut-down Government functionaries which include, dialogues, and business collaborations, military or political activities in the state capital of Pakistan.
In that case all the international investors and foreigners, diplomat limited their activities. Guess what today, Government of Pakistan announced "two days of vacation" (requested) to all the embassies in Islamabad. Half of diplomats moved to Karachi (consulates) and rest are on vacations.
One day emergency vacation considers as normal in any West Country but "Two Days" vacation consider serious crisis in the country.
- Civil Disobedience:
In front of Pakistani's, we hardly understand what is exactly civil disobedience is and those who know-how, remember as a Pakistani citizen we hardly care about such things but in front of west, civil disobedience is like a extreme step taken by some community/party or group against the government at some higher level.
First he was requested Ch.Nisar (according to Ch.Nisar) Ik want to move his March/Stage 200 meter + and get close to the diplomatic enclave (actually). That was really clever move. Yesterday his real target was International community. His message to Int community, "Imran Khan and his party" in government will go for civil obedience against the Federal government.
Second after his speech, capital becomes dis-functional. In front of the International community, if capital of any state is dis-functional, they consider as “big crisis" in the country and limited their activities, stop their investors, stop their people for traveling, stop all the business & military dialogues.
- Political Survival:
If Imran Khan ordered or announced his protestor’s to go and strike over the parliament what will happen. In short-term maybe it will help him but in long-term, tomorrow any party will do the same with him or create problems for his party.
Remember "QADRI" has nothing to lose but IK is. He is actually saved himself from that label.
- Qadri Factor:
TUQ is not a political identity and has no career in politics. If TUQ will strike on the parliament (Today) it will help automatically IK to open his voters, merge in to TUQ mobs and attack. In this case IK achieved his one objective without using his own force; his objective will achieved through Qadri. It will be WIN WIN situation for IK "na ilzaam lagayga kay hamnay kya... na hamare hakomat ayege tu hamko koi blame kar payega kay hamnay kya tha asa kise kay saath".
- Economic Loss
IK has played a brilliant game, government is under pressure. IMF had serious concerns over the marches and the serious drop in the KSE index and huge economic loss due to the political crisis. Hint: Ishaq Dar now left for Dubai today.
IMF and other investors postponed their trips because as Ch.Nisar said “who kahtay hain hamko nahe pata agli hakomat kiske hogi jisay ham agli baat kareengay Imran sahib ki is march ke waja say government ko arboon rupooon ka nuksaan hogaya hey aur ho raha hey” this is serious dent to Government as well.
