Islamabad Agency. Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, unable to deal with the Corona epidemic, has opened up new avenues of confrontation with the military. Top army officials are saddened by the government’s failure. Wajid Shamsul Hasan, a former Pakistani diplomat and journalist, does not see this new equation as an auspicious sign for an elected government in Pakistan. He said that even though there are no marshals in the country, the military’s dominance over the country has increased indirectly. He said that this concern only increases when the dominance of the army in the country-owned PIA, power regulator and the National Health Institute has been established. Most of its members are former military officers. Hasan believes that Imran Khan has failed to decide his best options for combating the Corona epidemic.
Infected by violation of WHO rules
He said that there has been a sharp increase in cases of corona infections after the lockdown was lifted in Pakistan. This situation becomes more dangerous when the World Health Organization (WHO) warns Pakistan of serious consequences. In its latest directive, the WHO has asked Pakistan to implement a lockdown to prevent the spread of the corona virus, but the country’s prime minister has opted to relax all restrictions.
Imran Khan’s influence limited
He said that Prime Minister Imran Khan ignored the lockdown citing the country’s economy as bankrupt. He argued that this was necessary to save the country’s economy. This has led to an increase in corona infection. They used the term coined as a smart lockdown to close shops and markets. Hasan believes that Imran Khan’s influence has been limited due to the country’s deteriorating economy and severe law and order situation.
