I'm sorry but both PPP and PMLN completed their term 2008-2018 and PTI was in opposition at that time.
If you're talking about 90s then there was no PTI back
So tell me now why PTI wasn't allowed to complete term?
What crime it committed?
Have you seen economic survey of Pakistan
This history does not start in the 2008 timeframe. You have to go back to what all went on post Zia. My memory and recollection goes much further back with all the early departures of NS, BB, GIK's, Beg, Kakar involvement etc. etc.
The point about "PTI were just fine with them" is based on the pressure put by PTI on the PML-N government and Nawaz Sharif. The die was cast when IK relied on street/power politics to dislodge NS (I am not debating the right or the wrong of it, but stating how things happened).
Coming to the point about "why PTI wasn't allowed to complete term?", I have already stated this and PTI supporters will not agree with it, but the country was in a bad shape. Foreign policy was massively unhinged - no alignment with the Gulf, actually discord, complete disharmony with the Americans, Russian-Ukraine fall-out, deadlock on Kashmir etc. and most of this was at least partially due to the rhetoric of the PTI government. Then the economy was not doing well - you all keep on talking about exports, remittances being unprecedented but nobody bothers pondering over the collapse of the economy barely two months after PTI's departure given the massive deficit. There was no slack in the system and this was known to others including in the establishment, who are also stakeholders, and thus things came to a head. To be fair to the PTI, a lot of this was mess from the previous governments left on their heads to clean up. However, it was a problem for sure.
Second, most of the fault for not being able to complete their term lays with the PTI itself. They were outclassed by the opposition in a *legal*, parliamentary play where the opposition was able to sway the PTI's allies away from them. The VoNC was passed without any of the PTI lotay votes being counted (so even the impact of the American interference/conspiracy is questionable). Why did the PTI not cajole MQM, BNP and the other erstwhile partners to remain in their fold? Speaks of political immaturity. This type of power play is quite common in all democracies. Case in point in the recent past - both UK and Israel where standing governments were dislodged for not being able to hold majority.
Unfortunately for the rest of Pakistan, the PTI has very carefully deflected these criticisms and hung on to two primary plays:
a) Blame the establishment for pulling their political support from PTI (while on the other hand all of you, as clearly seen on these threads, berate the establishment for political interference), and;
b) Use the claim of American conspiracy as the reason for PTI's departure from the office - The reason that the establishment calls this episode an "interference" is because the Americans "said" certain things which are not acceptable diplomatically. I would just bring your attention to one example. You can just refer to the kinds of statements the US side makes about the government in Iran, that is interference. In the future it may graduate to a conspiracy against Iran but currently it is what one would called interference. The same applies to this case in Pakistan. Also, this interference would become a conspiracy if there is "tangible" evidence of support for actors to do certain things. There is no proof that Americans have done anything of that nature. People cite their local American embassy/consulate personnel meeting people. They have been doing that for decades in Pakistan. We let them so they do so what is so different now? These Americans were meeting Jeay Sind people in Karachi in the 90s, and even MuR and similarly ANP from the Wali Khan days earlier.
But more importantly, why would the Americans want to run a conspiracy against our Khan sahib? How is Imran Khan even that important in the overall scheme of things for Americans to conduct another Bay of Pigs type of adventure in our country? How is Pakistan that important (we had some importance in the Afghan end game, that too is done and over with)?
So I think there is a need to be rational and bring the rhetoric down. My stance is not anti-PTI but PTI's stance should also not be scorched earth. Sheath the daggers. Stop attacking the institutions and the military!
