Yes, every country has a deep state, but none of them are as corrupt as ours, running businesses that seize land all over the country for real estate projects (please refer to post #59 for more information on their commercial activities). IK is just one example of the numerous political engineering projects our military establishment has undertaken since the founding of Pakistan. They select political figures and then remove them from office; none of our prime ministers served out the full five years of their terms (Modi selected four COAS while in office, whereas the COAS in Pakistan replaced four prime ministers while in office). The reason is that they don't want any political figure to receive popular support once more, and they prevented any political party from enjoying widespread support in the nation.
IK and his party are an exception in this regard, mostly due to his personal standing and the intrigue that led to his failure as the first Pakistani to oppose the military establishment since the Bangladesh catastrophe.
No one denies the existence of deep states, but instead engages in political engineering, coercing the judiciary to provide decisions in their favor, dominating the media for corrupt posturing, abusing the bureaucracy and the police, and most importantly, internal corruption.
Don't try to turn the conversation into an IK-centric one, as I stated earlier; we are talking about the wrongdoings and corruption of our military system.
