Will the Pakistani army now allow the politicians to decide on security and strategic and foreign policy issues and implement the decisions taken? That means becoming apolitical but it is doubtful if that is what the Pakistani generals have in mind.
In an unusual move, Islamabad police on Saturday barred hotels and guest houses in the federal capital from providing accommodation to the participants of the long march led by former Pakistan premier Imran Khan.
Earlier, Imran Khan announced the rally to commence from Lahore on Friday. Over 13,000 police and paramilitary personnel, equipped with teargas and pepper guns, were deployed across the capital.
Omar Ayub Khan, a former economic affairs minister, was injured amid violent protests by Imran Khan supporters who are demanding fresh elections in Pakistan.
