Will 30Oct Islamabad lock down lead Marshall Law?

[BRAVO_]

Will 30Oct Islamabad lock down lead to Marshall Law? A possible scenario where things go out of govt hands and emergency declared by COAS. Every thing is based on assumptions due to event folding around us. They way Imran Khan leaving every 1 behind him and insisting to to do lock down of Islamabad. Possible result will be a 5 year technocrats govt as it was planned for earlier long march. Last time I was in the long march people were chanting slogans of PM Imran Khan. I was like "Whaaaat". No election and already a PM :/ Sheikh Rasheed hinted technocrats govt last time in the long march. Timing of lock down is very interesting ( you know what I mean ).
Every thing is hypothetical so I hope mods will let us discuss it.

nothing will happen .. in few days people will forget every thing as usual and ... in coming elections again people will vote Nawaz Sharif, in Sindh PPP will remain in power as usual

Martial law is coming.
I never like make sweeping statements. If you look Pakistan's affairs in totality nothing is moving ahead. PMLN gov isn't doing anything special on economy front that a technocrat gov won't be able to do. On front of institution making, accountability and systems creation we are going backwards. On foreign policy Army and Nawaz are at loggerheads so much so that NS had to leak details of National security meeting. CPEC the best thing to happen to Pakistan is being made controversial and Chinese are losing faith. On top of it NS is providing credibility again to AH and party and colluding with likes of Achakzai.
Things are different than last year. Army has tried its best to form working relationship with NS but this Dawn story is last nail in the coffin. I can feel the Army's pulse and the patience was already running thin. They will pre empt NS moves to gain full power, his past antics have made him dangerous.

Please accept my apologies & rejoice with me for not supporting PTI

I support Pakistan either it comes from Asma jahangir which we all know where she stands.

 

[I S I]

Imran wants 40-50 dead bodies for Marshal law. I think he should contact Modi for the bodies of Pakistanis in IOK.

Dharna means roads blocked...Offices closed...Uni/School off.... in other words Holidays....

PARTAAYYY!

May there be Dharna all the year in Pak!

Every now and then someone eagerly sells Martial law on this forum.
Imran and Co would need some corpses to fulfill their long-standing dream. Let's see if they can manage to get someone of their activits killed and dispatched to naya Pakistan in peace.

Totally agree with you, NS has made himself controversial, government institutions have totally failed, the only institution that is functioning properly is the army. if NS is clean why is he afraid of investigations into his panama leaks?

It's Pakistan anything can happen. I wouldn't rule out the possibility. But at this point in time it seems very unlikely. RS had a GOLDEN chance 2 years ago with the azadi march and riots. It was almost like it was offered to him on a silver platter. But he didnt do it. If he didn't do it then it is highly unlikely he'll do it in a time of calm.

 

[notorious_eagle]

Agreed, i don't think there would be a Martial Law. If the Army realizes that Punjab Government or Nawaz Sharif are planning on using force against the protestors, than only Army might step in and warn them to stop using any force like they did during the Dharnas.

All of this can go away if only Nawaz Sharif offers himself for accountability. But being a characterless man with no morals or honour, he will hide his corruption and never present himself for accountability. One does ask, how much does Nawaz Sharif wants to loot Pakistan. He is already a billionaire, how much more money does he want. We need this money more for our schools and hospitals, rather than Nawaz Sharif buying luxury apartments for his children. What a shameless Prime Minister.

I wish Mr Khan all the very best for his Cause ..

IK will try to lock down isb for a day or 2 max

They are planning small protests in different cities on different days

PTI is divided on this lock down and PMLN also on how to tackle it

PAT is not going to be a part of it and army have given clear signal to PAT to stay out of it or get ready to take on army action as Alot of PAT ppl are linked to Afghanistan

Game is on and looks like whoever holds the ground longer will win in the end


CPEC is more important than IK being PM or NS

 

[Verve]

Army sat back and watched the riots against Bhutto, and even refused to fire at the public. And what happened to Bhutto after that? Did army start that civil unrest against Bhutto, No. It was his own doing. And no PM has been more powerful than Bhutto in our history.

NS doesn't give a damn about Pakistan and the public. And he'll get what he deserves for this and looting the nation.

 

[Devil Soul]

This time it will be different, TUQ have decided not to be part of this lock down, other opposition parties are also reluctant to be part of the same.... nothing will happen...it will be business as usual for Gov & protesting party.... my prediction is they might do a sit in/lock down for a day or two .....

 

[New Resolve]

Itll be one hell of a show-down this time around, i think it will come down to which way the establishment leans.

 

[Musafir117]

Lock down Lahore Karachi is different than lock down Islamabad if stupid IK do that this time he kicked more badly in his back as COAS not in a mood to disturb our foreign investors or diplomatic relations. It might be a Martial Law on PTI only.
