Destabilizing Pakistan

Due to my other engagements and also dislike of the attitude of Pakistani politicians, I was not paying much attention to ‘No Confidence Move against Imran Khan’. However, I was completely dismayed and disturbed after looking at this picture placed at LinkedIn. 

One does not need to read or listen to any other narrative. It is evident that the efforts are aimed at derailing the upcoming OIC Summit being held in Pakistan.

I was lucky to also receive a list with the names of politicians and the amounts paid to them, circulating at social media. If I add up the amounts, it is enormous. I have a gut feeling that the amounts of this magnitude just cannot be paid by any of the leading political parties of Pakistan.

The natural conclusion is that the amount has come from outside Pakistan. I leave it at the readers to try to identify those who are behind the disbursement of these amounts. For their convenience I have picked a pointers.

The amount has come from those who don’t wish Pakistan to prosper.Their biggest apprehension is if Imran Khan remains in power ‘Pakistan can become a regional super power’ and play a role in ‘demolishing the hegemony of some of the regional and global super powers’.

The history shows that most of the promoters of the OIC Conference held in Pakistan during the regime of Zulficar Ali Bhutto were assassinated; the first casualty was King Faisal of Saudi Arabia. Formation and strengthening of OIC was the brainchild of King Faisal and Bhutto was one of the ardent promoters of ‘Unity of Muslim Ummah’.

Having met complete defeat in Afghanistan, unable to sustain mounting pressure for the revival of Iran nuclear deal and fearful of the growing closeness of China and Russia, Unite d States opened yet another proxy war in Ukraine. Russia is not proving as easy a prey as Iran, Iraq and Venezuela, three leading producers of crude oil.

Analysts fear that a proxy war could be initiated between India and Pakistan to sabotage CPEC. The United States consider it the biggest threat to its hegemony in Middle East and North Africa as well as South Asia.
