Imran Khan is constantly threatening Government of the on street agitation and sit in but this time in Lahore; Heartland of Pakistani Politics and the home ground of PML-N.
Civil - Military Balance is much desired need of the Country, may it be in shape of official forums of National Security Council, Defence Committee of the Cabinet or otherwise.
The key to prosperity of Pakistan lies in a balance of civil military power equilibrium where if either of the force is denied the required space then the equilibrium is going to be imbalanced and the journey to development of Pakistan is bound to struck.
Pakistan Armed Forces have a constitutional role of safe guarding the frontiers of Pakistan both physically and ideologically and similarly political forces have the constitutional role of good governance and development.
Both in harmony can ensure the state emerging victorious on all fronts.
Dictatorship either in Uniform or in Civies is counter productive to security and prosperity of Pakistan.
The civil-military duo can together steer the country out of all kinds of crisis and ensure stability much desired for guests economic prosperity of Pakistan.
