Khan's constant attack on the army leadership is aimed at ensuring that the institution caves into his demands. Many in the institution sympathize with him, considering his political opponents corrupt and inept. The Supreme Court's alignment with Khan and its confrontational stance towards the military implies that they perceive their interests to be aligned with Khan's.
The situation has become a battle of survival for all the main players involved, and the possibilities of dialogue and reconciliation have diminished with every passing day. Next week will take Pakistan to the brink as political fighting takes a further violent turn.
Pakistan has a history of political instability, with the military frequently intervening in the country's politics. The current crisis has its roots in Khan's ouster as Prime Minister in April 2022. Since then, he has been waging a fierce battle against his political opponents and the military.
