//Who wins and who loses? Infighting politicos stand discredited and the khakis empowered. Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri joined hands to suck all legitimacy out of vital civilian institutions: the executive, judiciary, parliament and Election Commission. These institutions can proffer no solutions to Pakistan’s problems, we are told. The solution? Throw out the PM, then let these institutions initiate reform and begin to perform under able khaki oversight. Why is democracy on the ventilator yet again? Because the second choice of every politico eager to grab power is still the army, the first being obvious. Within PML-N’s question as to why revolutionaries have suddenly shown up in Islamabad and demanded the PM’s head is the insinuation that strings are being pulled from behind. If the khakis orchestrated the marches to teach Nawaz Sharif a lesson for trying Musharraf and relishing disparagement of the ISI’s good name by traitor Geo, they could want one of three things: rendering Sharif impotent, then letting him subsist at their mercy; installing a friendly set-up amenable to khaki control; or bringing things to a boil and intervening directly.//
