Pakistan Army should start its own political party. They have been messing it up for the last 70 years.

If Army chooses the rulers in Pakistan than they should straight away do it without any elections. In this way a lot of budget can be saved which is spent on elections.

This chaos and political unrest is because of the Regime change operation by the US ( The intersept news cheif editor Brian Grims has broken thar news )the popular leader IK was thrown out and the currupt and convicted murders and financial criminals were given the power, the army chief genreal bajwa ( has not able to prove on 1600 million assets in UK, Belgium) was a very instrumental in this opp, from political crackdowns to custodial torture, from assassination of journalists, kidnapping of journalists to attempted assassination of IK all were conducted by the ISI internal wing .Pakistan institutions have gone to the lowest level in last few days on 08 Feb the world will see if Pakistani institutions are characterless or entire Pakistan is characterless.
