I am not talking if their criminality is proven in the court or not. I am just referring to your own belief which you yourself expressed via your post..
As far as establishment is concerned:
I have full consensus with you that they are the real culprits. Who is better placed to tackle them.. here I have a disagreement with you. I think Imran Khan being financially more upright is in a better position to tackle them. He has a stated policy that Pakistan should denounce support for any militant outfit working for what-so-ever cause. This can only be done by curtailing the activities of the military establishment. Although I personally believe that NS also has the same intentions. He had the same intentions in 1999 also and look what establishment did to him and nobody came out on the streets to support him.
As far as IK is concerned I believe he will stick to his stated policy of denouncing the militants.. and it will be difficult for the army to do what they did to NS in 1999.. just because he has no loot-maar baggage with him..
