COAS General Raheel Sharif in Corps Commanders meeting |
Islamabad : All eyes are on the outcome of rescheduled Corps Commander meeting today which is taking place now.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who left Islamabad on Saturday is hurried back to capital while this important meeting is in progress.
Different media anchors and social websites are predicting that the meeting will end with the note of Martial Law in the country.
But, Martial rule is not possible in these circumstances as there are few obstacles or big hurdles in front, the first one is 18th amendment of Zardari government which clearly states the consequences of such any action. Second is on going crisis (national and international) and some international powers are trying to drag Pakistan Army in politics to start up the same crisis like Libya, Iraq, Syria, and Egypt and in my opinion Army knows all this.
So, Pakistan Army my intervene in some other forms but pure army rule that is Martial Law is not possible in Pakistan yet. Army also knows the fate of ex-general Musharraf who is still trapped in Pakistani courts in the issuance of emergency orders in Pakistan in 2007.
So we should hope that there may be some good outcome of the Corps Commanders meeting for Pakistanis minus Martial Law.

On the other hand police was used brutally against protesters as they used rubber bullets, tear gas against them by killing thirteen (officially three) injuring hundreds of men, women and children.
PM has once again called the meeting of the parliament on Tuesday and today's outcome will show whether that session is going to meet or not, lets hope against the hope.
