A highly regarded former Director General of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), who also served as Director General of Military Intelligence, says that the “Pakistani people have become fed up with the musical chairs and circuses” the army has repeatedly played by placing its favorite politicians in power and then removing them when it loses confidence in them. Although Imran Khan and his PTI Party’s long march, which resumes tomorrow, Thursday the 10th, and its general defiance of the army and ISI is a serious threat, the “frustration” and “disillusionment” of the Pakistani people and, in particular, young Pakistanis, is a far bigger concern, says Lt. Gen. Asad Durrani.

Mr Durrani is not accepting that IK is the most popular and loved leader of Pakistani people within and outside Pakistan. Army removed him to please their masters that US but it didn't work. Now they want to physically eliminate him. But Inshallah they will not succeed.
May Allah protect IK and Pakistan and these traitors will go to hell.
Can't agree more.
Army removed him to divert attention from hardship caused by FATF due to its long held strategic policy.
👏
seems durani sb is spokes person of janeissry
ImrandO spotted 😂
True. Young Pakistani people are fed up with this political engineering of military and establishment.
People Of Pakistan are asking for the Right to VOTE in a free, and fair ELECTIONS, & they must have ELECTION.
Army wants to keep Pakistan destabilized otherwise people would demand accountability. They have plenty of skeletons in their closet. How come army personnel (brigadier and above) are rich and people of Pakistan poor?
Well stated
Imran Khan is the most honest leader we have got in 70yrs. Our corrupt military Generals, our rogue ISI elements and our corrupt politicians are ganged together to protect the corrupt status quo, which is beneficial for Pakistani elite and this system has nothing for people of Pakistan. Our corrupt Army Generals have never let any politician to establish institutions in Pakistan because it served their purpose being only established institution in Pakistan.
These corrupt Generals and politicians have become billionaire in Pakistan and poor are getting poorer. First time in 70yrs we have someone who talks about poor people and 90% of our population love Imran Khan and they can live and die for Khan. Our corrupt Generals and ISI lost their popularity and touching their lowest ebb, our politicians have also lost their credibility in the eyes of people and only person whom everyone in Pakistan trust is Imran khan the most honest leader. This is not acceptable to our corrupt Generals because they want to keep all Pakistani politicians under their thumb but they can't do it to Imran Khan so they tried to kill him through rouge elements of ISI and drug dealer, Interior Minister Rana Sana, who was couple of years back arrested by same Army along with 15kg of heroin. No Pakistani is going to trust the Army and these drug dealer politicians anymore.
The attempt to kill Khan was planned by Gen Bajwa, Gen Nadeem Anjum DG ISI, Gen Faisal Naseer DG IW ISI and Shahbaz Sharif, Rana Sanaullah. These are the same people who ordered and planned killing of Arshad Sharif, a renowned honest journalist in Pakistan. All these corrupt Generals and politicians are against any honest person in Pakistan.
We are so disappointed in Western world Govts that they don't condemn these people in their capacity and rather they favour them because corrupt Generals and politicians serve their purpose inside Pakistan. But we Pakistanis have great faith in ALLAH Almighty that He will bring back Khan in power to serve his people and eradicate corruption and corrupt Generals and politicians from our society. This might be my wishful thinking and I am ready to live with it as long as Khan is alive.

"Imran Khan is the most honest leader we have got in 70 years."
Is that why he pocketed the Toshakhana gifts?
@@udayabose2357 Those gifts can be bought after paying 20% of the price. He paid 40%. He refused $215 million in his divorce settlement with Jamaima Goldsmith. A watch worth 5000 dollars have no meaning to him.
@@sabrinakhan8217
That is a very convenient law which exists perhaps only in Pakistan. It suits all of Pakistan's 'mohib e watan' elites.
Then again it was 20pc when Imran Khan bought those and promptly changed to 50pc for the future!
Finally, in any case, it is one thing to buy and keep for personal use and quite another to sell it off for a profit. How honest indeed!
@@sabrinakhan8217 Yes. But then you have to pay for the % value first, then you can do whatever. He failed to do that. He sold the items first, then paid the % value. Also, he did not declare those assets in his income tax returns. And you're right, it has no value for him as he's never earned any money and doesn't know the value of money. He's always lived his life on handouts.
Nawaz Sharif was convicted on not declaring an Iqama from which he had not earned a penny.
Army didn't bring Khan to power but when Generals saw he is getting popularity in his 22 years political struggles, they cleverly put their cronies with Khan and later on Army Generals used those cronies to throw Khan out of power. Generals are real culprits.
When half educated and egoistic people got power without accountability, the situation is bound to happen like this. When servants become the masters of the nation, that nation never progress. Until the supremacy of civil rule prevail, Pakistan will remain a pariah and banana republic. Pakistan army is the biggest;obstacle for democracy, rule of law and social justice and development. Shame on army leadership. Pakistan army needs a big reform and a huge surgery.
Durrani is talking nonsense at 22.40. If someone wishes to register an FIR the Police are duty bound to register the FIR. Calling it a gimmick is just plain mischievous especially as the Govt has registered umpteen bogus FIRs against IK.
The great success of Imran khan is that h has created an army of thousands of young leaders who are educated ,enthusiastic and from the middle and lower middle class of Pakistan.That has happened for the first time in country’s history.A seventy years old khan has become the sweetheart of the young and old .
At the end he is the bitch of pasha and zaheer...No matter what he was just a puppet that ruined pakistan completely
Lol.
Indian channels love to invite anti Imran Khan people because it makes Indians happy.
@@sabrinakhan8217 And Imran only gives interviews to people like Kamran Khan and ARY. He embarrasses himself when he's interviewed by others as he can not answer even simple questions.🥵
Ik has given awareness that in 21 Century, people cannot be Slaves to Criminal, Mafia, elite. People, are NOT cattle, they want Respect, Rights, Justice and above all RIGHT to vote in a Free & Fair ELECTION.
why KL Rahul is playing for India is a bigger mystery than Imran Khan's attackers' names, hope all agree?
DK is a bigger mystery
🤣🤣🤣
Karan I am a Pakistani and a great admirer of your preparedness, objective approach and incisively pertinent questions.
When Pakistanis speak of 'FAUJ' in anger for Army infringement in civil domain and occupying civilian posts, they mean only the numbered malevolent opportunist bunch of adventurers in Army. As such, we the people of Pakistan are never against PAF, PN and Pak Army as they are our children, elders, relatives, dear ones ghazi and shaheed - our religious and societal heroes. Pakistanis love their Armed forces. Gen Durrani too cannot be candid in true sense as this will cost him a lot as it has done recently to thousands serving and the retired. It is time for Army to completely pull out from political and civil domain for political and economic stability in Pakistan. If not heeded, then Pakistanis do not need any enemy to destroy or dismember us. India has never been a threat for Pakistanis. When it comes to India, we are one with one focus - India! Good interview, Karan! Stay blessed.
Imran Khan is the one leader who has shown the light and educated the nation like QuaideAzam did before independence. Pakistanis will follow Khan everywhere.
"Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life. Fear the media far more, for they will destroy your honour" -- General Vo Nguyen Giap
Media is part of the problem. Creating mistrust between the people of the two countries is their bread and butter.
Asad Durani is vastly under reflecting IKs popularity ...with free and fair elections, IK would have became PM as early as 2013 elections with a majority parliament. The problem is it is the army and not the people who decide who become PM. these army generals have too much power and the public has finally had enough
Karan - great interview. Asad Durrani was clearly cryptic in some areas and yet as open as perhaps he could be given his position. Having said that, he is a member of the old guard and you can see it in the way he speaks about containing the Long March.
It is clear also that the three accused are involved in the assassination attempt of Imran Khan. The question of whether this changes the support base of Imran Khan is irrelevant : call him what may he is extremely popular.
One thing is right: Pakistanis are fed up of military and for once, the ugly face is out in the open and not just amongst the relatively silent intellectuals in urban centres.
Looters and thieves have no right to appoint new army chief. IK is right and we support IK.
Under which law
Can I dream that there will be peace between the two countries .. I meet Pakistanis in USA ..they are the nicest people..no reason for us to fight
They are elites of Pakistan.
Elites are same all around the world
@@denk3236 not really ..even restaurant and convenience store owners who barely speak English ( I speak Hindi which is pretty close to Urdu) are such sweet people..
I have never found anyone who wasn't super nice to me
If there would be no tension how will BJP win elections??
@@muhammadzeeshan5421
Yeah 1948 war, 1965 war and 1971 war during Congress rule were because of BJP🤔?
Because of BJP pakistan sent terrorists for Mumbai attack of 26/11 during congress rule ? 🤔
6 months after 26/11 in 2009 did BJP win due to tensions ?
You won all wars like you did surgical strikes 😂😂
Asad Durrani in his tenure with the army helped change the outcome of political process in Pakistan.
Imran Khan wants the rule of law in Pakistan and wants the generals to stay out of politics and the generals are not going to give up their power and influence on the politicians that easily.
Comparing Imran khan with corrupt elite is simply no comparison as per international image ,exposure n reputation
Allow me to be a little bolder about it, the polarisation we have seen in Pakistan due to the creation of smaller groups that present certain groups such as MQM and TLP so on and so forth to use them, the British Raj ended in 1947 when Pakistan came into being however Pakistan army’s establishment after 75 years are still not willing to give up the policy of divide and ruled they’ve inherited from the British Raj. The ideology behind the creation of Pakistan the military establishment buried under six feet deep worries me Gee.
i do think politicians, media have to be pro-people.
they rely on the politics of army supremacy.
Apart from your thesis... I think there is desire or fantasy of creating an ideal Islamic empire like mughals and being a someone who are born to rule is the problem as well...
@@SHIVAMYadav-pw5uz actually an empire or rule like caliphate but that isnt possible in todays modern political system, on the other side Indian politicians also propound idea of Ramrajya which also isnt possible in present conditions.
@@Shekhru121 do you have any idea about how many parties, languages, religion, races, culture, castes, sub castes, exists in India??
Do you have any substantial evidence in history of state of Ramrajya??Ramrajya is a political slogan and emotional symbolism of hindus..... Actually its not ur problem... False equivalence have become a reality everywhere that's why people don't get the gist of real issues..... Especially leftists..
Asking these questions from a General who was actively involved in political manipulation says it all by the way Imrans absolute majority was stolen by an election commissioner proposed by the establishment heads due to which Imran could not function properly.
My parents generation won’t understand how we need to have democracy no matter how flawed it is. They have pretty much ruined Pakistan , they have been taught not to think/ponder( aka Zia’s generation)
Not everyone s parents.I think my father and and uncles had a wonderful grasp and ideals about politics
How can you think & ponder in an obsurantist jihadi ecospace in the first place ?
Mr. Thapar, could we expect an interview with the man in the eye of storm, Imran Khan?
Like the way general durrani said, people in pakistan are tired of these musical chairs, what will the army do about it?
Do they care about common pakistanis during general durrani's tenure did he care?
About pakistan you can sum up in two lines about the military
POWER CORRUPTS, AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY.
Another intelligent interview, but interspersed with lies, that's rather childish.
For instance, imran made no threat, his statement was in response to the press conference by the army spokesperson, who had mentioned private things, imran was highlighting the fact that it was wrong.
He was saying he's responsible and expects the same behaviour from others.
In last 6 months who is making Pak seen as banana republic, judiciary is exceptionally in- effective to protect the fundamental rights of the masses
Karen didn't ask one very pertinent question, and that is "what is the interest of establishment assuming the role that they are having since last 75 years?"
Some of Answers are:
1.mindset of "bloody civilians"
2. Lust for power.
3. Financial advantages of building huge industries, housing schemes and other business establishment for themselves.
Excellent content Mr. Thapar, honest and candid responses Gen. Durani. I hope, Pakistani establishment and military leadership realize this time around the stakes are very high and follows the most prudent rout out of the current crises.
Durrani is not an impartial person to deduce true conclusions about situation in Pakistan.He himself has been involved in dirty games of clandestinely giving monies to Nawaz Sharif against BB’s government.He isn’t capable to strike a balance between his institution and a very popular political leader.IK has baffled them all with his popularity and acceptability of his narrative amongst the masses of Pakistan.
Gen. Durrani has not given an objective point of view. Although he has talked about the "Musical Chair" of the Institution, but more or less has reflected the present Military Leadership's position which is not supported by majority of the Population of Pakistan.
Army should read their oath loud, they are not trained to run politics, foreign policy and economics
Shameful guy.
Distributed money amongst politicians to overthrow Benazir as he revealed in the top court.
SOMETHING VERY CHILDISH FROM EX ISI NOTHING OF ANY SPECIAL
Don’t be mistaken by his intellect and deceiving demeanour after all he was DG ISI
All these generals are beacon of hope in retirement however when in power they pick dissident, torture and kill and make these political parties their slave either by fear of death or by having compromising evidence like corruption and they will stoop as low as making Videos of Sitting senators while they in privacy of their home with thier wife
I use to be a big advocate of Pakistan Army ( yes I was under the spell of their propaganda) now we can see - No more -
Very Well conducted interview and I have enjoyed - now subscribed
Is there any analysis as to how the Pakistani army that was split from the same British army and traditions turned out this way?
Is it because of the Muslim way of life? Lack of education? Slavish mentality of wanting messaiah ingrained in the religion?
On the other hand the larger part which was mainly Hindu turned out beautifully into a very professional army
IK has succeeded in making our Pakistanis aware. That's a very new, revolutionary development. Please interview him again.
The only reason for Pakistans failure fails squarely on Pakistan army.
I think Mr Durrani circumvented the context of Imran Khan's response to DG ISI and misrepresented the mode and spirit of his answer to the DG. The question posed by Mr Thapar was about DG ISI's insinuation that Imran Khan levels allegations against the army chief in the morning while he meets him secretly in the night, as if it's some kind of dubiousness. Well those meetings according to IK were about negotiations to get the country out of the crisis, holding elections etc. It is completely conceivable that matters pertaining to national security and maybe mistakes committed by the Generals were also discussed and admitted, as DG ISPR has also publicly admitted that mistakes might have been made by them. So it was actually very conniving of the DG ISI to present those meetings as some kind of flattery exercise by IK in secret, while IK didn't publicly discuss the content of those meetings. And IKs angry response stopping at just warning the DG was in that context. He didn't use knowing the secrets of national security matters as some kind of tool to coerce them to his demands, it was just a shut up call.
👏👏
It is extraordinary that a Convicted Criminal is to appoint the COAS. Shahbaz govt is a liability & a JOKE, he should give an early date for ELECTIONS, and stop playing silly games, sticking to power like his son, who had to be thrown out by the courts. The President & Courts MUST take action, put Shahbaz aside & appoint an honest CARETAKER govt. immediately.
Very true
Any half decent political party would. But these guys won't because in case of free and fair elections, a lot of them are looking at jail time, or worse.
Two important points if I may add. Previous governments when removed through military intervention, including Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Nawaz Sharif & Benazir Bhutto brought jubilation to the populace because people believed them to be corrupt, inefficient & autocratic. Public reaction has been quite the opposite after removal of Imran Khan. Firstly there are no corruption charges against him, unlike the rest he does not believe in dynastic politics and most importantly people perceive him as an honest, patriotic, nationalist & a bold leader. At 70 years, he is physically fit, still charismatic & a large majority of youth identifies with him. His meteoric rise in popularity after the removal has surprised political pundits & those who facilitated the change.
Secondly Imran Khan’s creative & effective social media team has made a huge difference to blunt the government’s conservative approach to use press conferences, print & main
stream electronic media. More than likely the impact of public awakening as a result of intense political activities at national scene, unintended repositioning of state institutions on national issues will have positive long term effects on establishing democratic traditions in the country. The military has learnt many lessons in recent years & they are likely to take a backseat giving main organs of the state their due space.
"Firstly there are no corruption charges against him" - Toshakhana gift scandal?
Reham Khan book seems to provide the reader an EYE OPENING experience
@@primordialarchetypes2927 he increased the cost to purchase gifted items from 15% to 50% of assessed value. If it was within the rules then the only objection would be to change toshkhana rules. Toshkhana should publish all previous record for public knowledge.
Just compare his to Surrey palace, Swiss accounts, off shore companies, establishing multiple sugar mills and other industries while in power, infamous Avenfield apartments etc.
General Lacks the objectivity especially him being part of an institution that has always negatively shaped Pakistani politics . Hopefully we can have journalistic such as Moeed Pirzada who are better at critical analysis and being objective in their response.
Wrong choice for thappar to bring someone from the establishment to speak for Pakistan. I totally agree w u. Dr. Moeed Pirzada wouldve been way better analyst than this old man.
Moeed Pirzada is as qualified as Zaid Hamid, only slightly better. The better Pakistani journalists are Mazhar Abbas, Imtiaz Gul, Gul bukhari, Hussain Haqqani, Kamran Bokhari.......much more credible
@@primordialarchetypes2927 Moeed Pirzada and Zaid hamid give excellent analysis of the state of Pakistan is in now under the chors. The ones u r quoting are mouth pieces and paid slaves of the chors and fraudias who has no conscience and who have sold Pakistan to fill up their Swiss accounts
The Wire speaking against pak 😳😳
Always had! Just that some prejudiced ears always understood opposite.
Kabhi kabhi drama karna padta hai bhai
This is a sensitive time for The Wire.
They have always spoken and still speak for their incoming money no matter where it is coming from.
IK won because he was popular if you don’t believe it hold elections today. The question is who elected the army ?
He is Specking completely lie about Imran khan , I K exposed & challenged bravely. Army role
VERY VERY UNFORTUNATE AND TRUE THAT PAK ARMY HAVE LOST ITS CREDIBILITY FOR EVER IN THE EYES OF 95% PAKISTANIES, BELIEVE OR NOT
Certainly a Very Good interview , specially Intellect of Qs & Ans. are very clear and thought provoking .... Applause !!!!!!!!!
I'm afraid the good General may be more-than-slightly off the mark with assessment of the Khan government. They were doing great with record foreign exchange reserves, record remittances and record exports. Agriculture was rising, tourism was taking off, textile looms were churning better than the past, Pakistan's performance in the pandemic was one of the best the world over, oil prices were subsidised in the face of rising costs across the globe and cheap housing projects were being erected for the destitute.
Good interview! Only point of contention is on his pulse of why the uproar. This is different because people like Imran Khan at least as much as they hate PDM and the power players. His charisma is astonishing and inspiring. He's connecting with everyone.
IK is the problem! he is the challenge, he started the ball rolling. Mr Thapar is trying to be put a different spin on it, by suggesting that ppl and ik are two different challengesas if he doesnt represent the public sentiment. IK is, for good or bad, representing ppl's sentiments and not because he has done somethiing out of the ordinary but that the other side has exposed themselves to be the vilans! and got army caught with its pants down
@@yasirkhan6455 I understand good sir. It’s exactly that part / spin that I disagree with.
@@yasirkhan6455 Let's give him credit for exposing them so courageously

IK is an honest man whereas the people who have been imposed on Pakistan by the handlers are poles apart
Where are the unlawful orders coming from, we are missing that 1 man in judiciary who can bring the powerful under the umbrella of the law of the land
Imran khan is depicted as a man of great integrity, an honest politician, a warrior who values human lives, and an egalitarian aristocrat.
Karan you have big following in pakistan 🇵🇰 . You my friend don’t compromise , hats off to you sir
The era of top brass involvement in politics is going to be over.
He is trying to save the image of Army as if they are holly cows 😂
Like Holy Mohammad.
Long live Imran Khan.
We all stand with Imran Khan only..we love him..we can die for him.he is true hero

In an interview, more important than the interviewee is the interviewer and Karan Thapar is a master interviewer.
Why is Mr Durrani defending these individuals by pulling the Army Institution as being not happy with IK
The issue dividing the Pakistan 🇵🇰 nation, it's people, the Army and Imran Khan is....

Anti-Americanism.
It is not army which creat problem.actual problem is greedy generals.we Pakistani should put lot of pressure on generals our disliking on their stupid acts like as they remove great ik and brought back crooks.this time we realize that nither they are wise not loyal to state.if they have little bit wisdom they never brought back them under the instructions of usa.therefore we want them to away from politics.this time generals are fail to sell this narrative that change is for betterment of Pakistan.we understand they always brought change for their own interest.
Everyone is greedy in Pakistan.
Sir.. Why you hasite to take name give credit to Imran khan for he is taking army by its horns and also he has educated the public to stand against the atrocities of establishment??
Karan please interview modi again and ask about rss 😂 love your style
Karan is afraid of PM modi. Karan is a coward. Shame on him.
Gen. Durrani seems to be a well read learned person. He has excellent command over language and expresses his views so candidly. Impressed!
Military of pakistan is EATING UP BUDGET
and DOING BUISNESS WITHOUT PAYING TAX 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
This general is protecting his institution. Biased views.
Karanji, army is not taking over paxtan anytime until US (or some other sugar daddy) is ready to fight another war where paxtan can "help"
Basically, the general is saying that army hogs the resources and they aren't gonna give up that control that easily 🙄
How come Mr Bajwa goes to UK to attend a military parade on the Independence of Pakistan

SINCE, 1957, PAK ARMY FUNCTIONED AS A MAFIA IN PAKISTAN, LOOKS LIKE ISI IS FIRING SQUAD FROM KENYA
Excellent discussion
This discussion is entirely a distraction of the real problem that Pakistan is facing since 1947. Problem 1: Pakistan has no federal political party. Problem 2: For democracy to succeed two political party system is crucially important, Pakistan did not get a two political party system since 1947. All parties in Pakistan are local, and they are not really different political parties as their fundamental principle is the same right wing. Unless Pakistan did not find two different political party systems like: Republican and Democrat in USA, or Reformist and Principalist in Iran, democracy cannot stabilize Pakistan. So military interference is absolutely necessary to stabilize Pakistan which is what Pakistan military has been doing in Pakistan since 1947. It is the problem of the mindset of Pakistani people who cannot think about someone campaigning for left spectrum of the political reality of the world. If Pakistani people can give an echosystem where left and right spectrum of politics can campaign freely then a two political party system might emerge and this and only this would end the military intervention in Pakistani politics.
General seemed either not aware of ground reality of mr khan or he is deliberately try to give not real facts like regarding khan sahibs offer for extension to. Bajwa, facts are different. Khan said if election date is given extension can be extend to conduct far and free elections. General distraught words.
One of the best journalist at this whole land respect from Karachi
Dear bajwa had very efficiently done the job for enemies of Pakistan which they could not do.still people are directly targeting the army chief n top brass supporting .for the ist time people are targeting the army chief directly by name n humiliating openly in social media etc
'it has happened every time' but they don't learn from this conflict. They don't built internal checks and balances to stop this adventure from their side. They have intentionally left space open for the too ambitious to try again.
Karan sahab,
Kindly request you bring a person who is impartial, najam sethi and dorani have tilt towards a particular party.
Hi, Dear Karan sir,
it's requested to you that, in J&K some upper castes are going to be added in Schedule Tribe quota, which is constitutionally a blunder and the actual tribes will suffer and will be deprived from their rights so sir kindly raise this issue constitutionally and raise the voice of tribals of Jammu Kashmir, please discuss this issue on this world class TH-cam plateform, it will be a gret step from your side towards facts.... Please🙏
Which tribe do you belong to?
Pakistani Military Buisness is not paying TAX
TAX FREE ESTABLISHMENT 😀😀😀😀
Would love Karan’s expose on META - WIRE issue
The presumption likelly to be wrong that by army's favor IK assumed power. Was Imran so poor in popularity? In fact by way of power musical chair, what army exercises since 75 years has opened this time & the people now can notice the culprits behind all dirty politics.
#Durrani ❤ #PathaanDgISI❤
Top intelligence Agency ISI 🇵🇰❤️
Mr Durrani is showing his inclination and sympathy with his mates and not with the masses who know how and why IK govt was removed
Keep it up. Karan! Your bold style is the need of time so keep it intact without any favour to anyone and fear from anyone. Be bold as ever.
agreed with Gen Durrani, good soldier like most in Pak army and honest intellectual.
Bringing Imran K to power by toppling elected government of Nawaz Sharif was a huge mistake and whole Pakistan suffering since departure of Sharif.
Nawaz Sharif and his cronies are the problem.
Loans billjon dollar property abroad. What progres did he make in 30 years ? Look at IMF world bank etc online grafs. Khan fixed it. If sharif is so good why does they transfer oower to children wuth No exp eduaction ?
My dear people are not fools.which is reflected by the ex-servicemen and doany sections of society
Thanks
I request you to interview Dr Moeed Peerzada, the most intellectual person who understands local as well as world politics..
Neighbours may be at loggerheads for decades but if one’s house is on fire, they will go to the neighbour for help or to vent. DG ISI venting to an Indian journalist is testament to this.
Your analysis of the interview was good and show some questions can be resolved
Written a book with CO AUTHOR
PEOPLE DON'T TAKE LIGHTLY
THOUSANDS CUT OF THOUGHT PROCESS 😀😀😀
Goodness me, he's the same person when interacting with Mehdi Hasan said, we created Taliban and that was the requirement of the hour. And when asked about the innocent killings perpetuated by Taliban, he audaciously called that a collateral damage and said it's the war we are fighting and everything is fair in love and war.
And then co-authoring his book with former RAW chief is something one could imagine how deep secret agencies come together at fault lines for interests. By the way, now a days he's being seen as a traitor in his own country and all of a sudden now coming through Karan Thapar's window and teaching the world morals of system, how the system should be and should not be. WOW ..
I think for a balanced perspective you ought to have a common man from Pak on your show to gauge the true Pulse of the street. Fact remains that dictators are behind our journalists leaving Pakistan in droves, elderly politicians are being tortured and to this day police cannot register an FIR regarding attack on Imran. We are so tired of these biased retired General’s diluting the reality and giving unfair advantage to their brethren
People are demanding their democratic right to VOTE in a GENERAL ELECTION, and they MUST get their RIGHT.
Karan, excellent interview. Your choice of Gen Durrani was most appropriate. Your questions were spot on, but I found Gen. Durrani, on one or two questions, answering with some sort of inhibition.
Gen Durrani is against IK...He is not reflecting society of Pakistan...Presently Army is suffering most in Pak due to public pressures
Imran khan should be in the army and be a general so he will have absolute power
Great discussion following the interview
As a citizine of Pakistan and not supporter of Imran khan, The public lost all confedence on Pakistan Army. Public buying each and every narrative of Imran khan.
That's true.. ... But I think ill prepared economic policies and too much of Islamisation made the modern educated pakistanis and poor pakistanis to communicate in the same direction.....poor pakistani wants cheaper household things and modern pakistani wants respect and modernity like other nations have...... Am I correct?
Because it is true ?
While other countries have moved on from the pursuit of truth and the right way in terms of state affairs to diplomacy and progress, Pakistanis are still stuck in that Neanderthal mentality and the situation will only get worse as we no longer have the quality education we had before the 2000s. For the very first time in the history, almost 100% of politically literate population now hates the army, something which Nawaz Sharif wasn't able to achieve despite several tries. Before 2022, I would slap anyone who said Pakistan would balkanize, but now I'm not so sure. Imran Khan has done what India, Israel and US failed to do.
Even at this aga this General is not forthcoming and honest.
Well done Karan one more time!
Asad Durrani should be ashamed of himself for his past his past meddling in political domain to ensure politicians are kept under the army thumb. The truth is that people of Pakistan were led to believe that army was serious in cleaning up the filth and corruption that surrounds body politics. But alas, it was a false hope. Army had no such design. They merely settling their own score with Sharif and Zardari. Once they were out of office, they were protected from facing prosecution. This perception or reality is fully baked in people's mind and as a consequence become disillusioned with the army leadership.
