Did Imran Khan support army rule in his interview...split from Altaf bhai...

Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties

Apparently, he does not say that. He said if there is a chaos in the country and whole structure is destabilized, army can assist in bringing stability to the country.

I don't think anyone would disagree with this statement. I was wondering what all the fuss was about.

Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties

you forgot to quote rest of the sentence "...and army should held election" and when confronted by Shahid Masood he said "I mean Judicary should held election with the help of Army"

Now where does elections come into the equation? He basically is looking for out-of-parliament or out of election solution.

Re: Did Imran Khan support army rule in his interview...split from Altaf bhai...

^ Shahid asked if Army should hold elections. He replied Supreme Court should hold elections and army should assist it (in case of total chaos).

He was replying a question, not giving our his opinion about future state of affairs.

You are now theorizing that he 'wanted to say' but never said.

And what about atleast 4 times when he said 'army nahi aani chahiye'?

Re: Did Imran Khan support army rule in his interview...split from Altaf bhai...

He said what he wanted to say. I am not theorizing anything

WHY would supreme court hold election after Army comes in to help in chaos?

lol @ he was replying a question and not giving his opinion. Funny eh?

Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties

its because of what you said earlier...

Let me repeat you said

Imran Khan did support Musharaf before Mush took the U turn on the war on terror issue, much to the dislike of the likes of Hameed Gul and like minded generals. He did not become prime minister because he did not have any real support in public unlike say JI or JUI who have their own support.

So I mentioned Hazrat Shaukat Aziz, who became Prime Minister despite the fact that he didnt have any real support.

For what it is worth, it seems like both Imran and MQM are trying to back track out of their statements against "corrupt politicians" and in support of "patriotic generals".
[/QUOTE]

Imran isnt back tracking, he never wanted Army to assume power to begin with. Also, Hameed Gul etc dont represent the Army anymore, they've been LONG since retired.

Re: Did Imran Khan support army rule in his interview...split from Altaf bhai...

You don't have anything left to say. :)

What is your opinion? If the situation gets much worse, total chaos, systems fail, we have mass bloody unrest, what should the army do?

P.S. Now that you have the interview video, at what point in interview did Imran say Army should take over the government and rule Pakistan? (title of the thread)
