Pretty much, the pressure on him is huge from both awam as well as military. Obviously if he fails to act like a leader, good odds of him being cast away but if he does succeed he will be the biggest winner in this whole play where still major role has been played by military.
The sad bit is that we have no better replacement. Imran Khan is as pro-terrorist as this circus lion. We have had a really bad leadership for the past 30 years. Only Benazir Bhutto was a capable leader, but unfortunately she was killed by her own husband.
