Pakistan is a country, where people wear religion on their sleeves.
IK himself admitted that he was asked to leave and given three options to choose his exit strategy but he did not opt for a graceful exit. IK, in his foolhardiness, has now even taken on the military, hoping to cancel it from Pakistani power corridors. The military, in a very wise and farsighted move, has taken a non-partisan stance. The military top brass has officially conveyed to the nation that it will not involve itself in politics. This has been affirmed by the PTI and PML leadership. IK does not realise that the wise men in the military top brass understand that the IK phenomenon is a political suicide waiting to happen. It is only a matter of time before his political groupies cancel him.
