After the situation that developed after Imran's arrest, the respect of Pakistan's army has also fallen in the eyes of the public. The general public of Pakistan took to the streets against the army on a large scale.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan has granted bail to Imran Khan but today he has to appear in another case. In Pakistan, former Prime Minister and head of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan has been arrested on charges of corruption. On the other hand, according to the decision of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, Imran Khan demanded that elections should be held in Punjab on May 14, but the army and the current Shahbaz Sharif regime wanted to postpone the elections till the end of this year. The key to capturing political power at the Center is a political victory in Punjab first.

The pictures after the arrest of Imran Khan make it clear that the people of Pakistan are angry against the army there. In a video viral on social media, a girl with a strawberry in her hand was exposing corruption in Pakistan. Waving her hand in front of the camera, the girl said that I am currently enjoying an expensive thing which I got from the fridge of the richest man of Pakistan.

Violence broke out in the country after Imran's arrest and the residence of Corps Commander Lt. Gen. Salman Fayaz Ghani in Lahore was raided. The mob armed with sticks started breaking everything. Unarmed people who took to the streets to protest against the arrest of Imran Khan raised slogans of "America ne dog pale... Vardi wale verdi wale".

The PTI and the Movement for Justice had emerged as the single largest party in the Parliament in the 2018 general elections. This enabled it to lead the coalition government. It was a major victory for a party with only one provincial electoral success in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa before 2013. Imran Khan promised a new Pakistan and a new style of politics in a country that had long been burdened by the dynastic and corrupt civilian leaders of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP).

After the arrest of Imran Khan, the general public took to the streets in the major cities of Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Peshawar. The general public took to the streets in anger that the army interferes in the political affairs of the country, which former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was first coined.

The attempt by PTI supporters to barge into the General Headquarters (GHQ) of the Army in Rawalpindi, Punjab is being considered as a serious development, the kind of incident which had never been witnessed in the Pakistan Army Headquarters earlier today.

Common public showed the real face of Pak Army

Since its inception, Pakistan's military has emerged as a national institution, which has long been considered an intermediary between citizens and political forces. Now this army has become the target of people's anger. The manner in which the general public came out on the streets against the army and attacked the Pakistani army is proof that the unarmed public has torn off the mask worn by the Pakistani army for years. In fact, till now the army has been seen with great respect in Pakistan. But in the eyes of the people who are struggling with poverty and inflation, the pomp and show of the army officers has started knocking. According to the news, the bigger the officer is in the Pakistan Army, the more property he has. Army officers have share in business, real estate. They never have money.

Pakistan army divided into two factions

According to a report published in Deccan Herald, the current situation in Pakistan is also due to the rift between the army generals. That's because some of them believe that pursuing a peaceful approach with the TTP (Pakistan Taliban) is best for national security, while other generals think that developing a harmonious relationship with India would be a better bet. That is, Pakistan's army is divided into two factions.

The first faction in the army leadership is pro-Imran Khan, preferring the TTP option and therefore against army chief General Asim Munir who supports Nawaz Sharif's peace efforts with India. The pro-Imran army dislikes the political families of Sharif and Zardari. The second section is of Nawaz supporters.

When did the mutual conflict between the army start?

In 2007, the lawyers' movement against the late General Pervez Musharraf helped end his military rule and pave the way for elections in 2008. This was the first time when the confrontation between the political leadership and the army started in Pakistan.

Experts believe that this political confrontation in the army was suppressed after the death of former President General Zia-ul-Haq in an air crash in August 1988.

In October 2022, the then Pakistan Army Chief General Javed Qamar Bajwa announced during an official visit to Washington DC that the army would no longer interfere in Pakistan's politics. According to a 2014 report published in the Dawn newspaper, Nawaz Sharif wanted to have cordial relations with India, for which it was necessary that the Pakistan Army be kept away from politics. Even then the army opposed it and the matter could not progress further.

75 years of Pak army politics at worst turn ever

Pakistan's political journey of 75 years has alternated between civilian and military rule. The country's military forces have never allowed a democratically elected government to complete its term. From time to time, military forces have also been imposing restrictions on political parties. Which was like completely crushing democracy in Pakistan.

Is Pakistani army neutral?

Pakistan's army has repeatedly said that it is neutral from politics. In the last one year, more than 100 cases have been filed against Imran Khan, which Imran Khan has made good use of and presented himself as a victim in front of the public. Arresting Imran Khan in this way is the biggest mistake of Pakistan Army.

Pakistan's army and corruption .... general public becoming victim

According to a news published in BBC, defense analyst Shuja Nawaz says that the government and the army in Pakistan have been on both 'formal' and 'informal' forums. Once upon a time there used to be regular important meetings between the Prime Minister, the President and the Chief of the Army Staff, after that the National Security Council and in the present era the army presents its side under the National Action Plan.

The military's political clout has increased in Pakistan in the last 70 years, while its involvement in businesses ranging from sugar and fertilizer factories to bakeries has also increased. Pakistani army is doing corruption by joining business.

In November last year, when General Qamar Javed Bajwa was about to resign as Pakistan's army chief, a Pakistani investigative journalism forum claimed that Bajwa has benefited from his tenure and has become a billionaire. The Fact Focus report claimed that Bajwa managed to amass assets worth 12.7 billion Pakistani rupees ($47 million).

After Qamar Javed Bajwa, General Syed Asim Munir was made the new army chief in Pakistan. Who took office barely two months ago.

Pakistan Army is in control of country's big business group

Let us tell you that there is a big business group in Pakistan which has about 3 million employees and more than 26.5 billion in annual revenue. The army runs this business group.

The group runs in coordination with Askari Foundation, Fauji Foundation (Pakistan Army), Shaheen Foundation (Pakistan Air Force), Bahria Foundation (Pakistan Navy), Army Welfare Trust, Defense Housing Authority and many other organizations. Despite being a big business, this group does not pay any tax.

The general public working here does not directly get any benefit from it. All the profit goes to the shareholders of the company. These shareholders are retired army generals only. While the army general is already reaping significant benefits.

It has been repeatedly alleged that Pakistan's army is involved in almost every business sector - from real estate to fertilizer and cement manufacturing, it is the army that is in control and is reaping the benefits of corruption on a large scale.

Army owns the country's biggest work

Askari Bank, which is included in the top five banking institutions of the country, is owned by the Pakistan Army. The army also has a big stake in real estate coming from solar energy.

Anas Muhammad Khan, a journalist and commentator from Lahore, had claimed recently that Pakistan's army is continuously moving ahead in anti-India propaganda including the Kashmir issue. Most importantly, the political structure of the country is completely dependent on the military. Which will soon show the country worse days.

Relationship between Imran Khan and Pakistan Army

In the year 2018, Imran Khan came to power and promised a "New Pakistan". However, Imran has always denied that he is a favorite of the Pakistani army. But many experts see his rise in politics linked to this.

By the time 2021 came, tension between the head of Pakistani intelligence agency ISI, Lt. General Faiz Ahmed, and the Imran government, and Imran Khan's relationship with Army Chief Bajwa allegedly started deteriorating after he took over.
