The Pakistani military establishment may have lost a round of battles with a Pakistani political party. The Insaf Party, led by Imran Khan, is now in prison.
It has become a threat not only to the military establishment, but also to dynastic parties. The next Pakistani government will be burdened by the weakness of the popular mandate granted to it, as long as the largest parliamentary groups that won the elections sit in the opposition, writes Asim Qureshi. The Sharif and Bhutto dynasties are allied together to lead the next government led by Nawaz Sharif.
