Re: TuQ Arrival
The diversion was half the hijacking in itself. Dr. Tuq did the other half. Emirates blacklisted Dr. TUQ because as a single person, he was easy to deal with. They have chastised the govt as well, but will resist going further, as they ahve a big network to Pakistan.
I dont see how establishment is a factor here, unless we want to play conspiracy theory. Dr. Tuq is a nuisance, and PMLN overreacted, apart from committing one blunder after another. Both sides have lost points in this game. No winners.
The problem with the Sharifs is that they feel they are ‘intelligent’ enough to make decisions on just about every issue, whether its economics, urban planning, foreign affairs, defense, or internal affairs. Internally, they tend to weed out anyone who stands up against them. Absence of Ch. Nisar in the recent past is an obvious sign. They prefer yes-men, and that is what they are paying for.
I dont think their tenure is at risk, but their reputation, for what its worth, is.
Actually no. He refused to disembark and stopped others from leaving the aircraft. That is a hijacking. Diverting a flight is not a hijacking. That is why it is called diverting. And legally a government can divert a flight as it sees fit.
