In 2014, the military prodded Imran to launch his narrative of “35 punctures”, a reference to the alleged “theft” of the 2013 elections that brought Nawaz Sharif to office. Winding its way through various long marches and dharnas to destabilise the Sharif regime, it roped in the Supreme Court under two Chief Justices of Pakistan, Saqib Nisar and Asif Khosa, to knock out Nawaz and culminated in the 2018 elections that were blatantly rigged to “select” Imran into office.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book charts Imran’s rise and fall, starting from the “Same Page” narrative of a firm partnership between Prime Minister Imran Khan and the Army Chief, Qamar Javed Bajwa, that propped up his regime, to the time in 2021 when the same doctrine was abandoned after it became an acute embarrassment for the military and its chief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterwoven into the fabric of Imran’s demagogic politics was the ruthless ambition of two generals, one of whom sought an extension in tenure (COAS General Bajwa) and the other an elevation to the post of army chief (DG-ISI General Faiz Hameed). In the event, this unholy team couldn’t manipulate the system to achieve its ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book charts the monthly miscalculations of Khan’s regime in the summer of 2021 after the transfer of General Faiz Hameed from the ISI to the Peshawar Corps, enabling the combined opposition to cobble the wherewithal of a successful No-Confidence Motion in April 2022 that finally felled Imran Khan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is an indispensable read for students of political science and history who wish to understand how even the best laid institutional plans of powerful people fall by the wayside at that altar of personal ambition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Vanguard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408842727723,"sku":null,"price":3199.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3077\/0475\/files\/Untitleddesign-2024-06-24T174208.239_d154b198-7f68-43e9-8ffb-14ef01468064.png?v=1767860183"},{"product_id":"the-concept-of-an-islamic-state-in-pakistan-an-analysis-of-ideological-controversies-ishtiaq-ahmed","title":"The Concept Of An Islamic State In Pakistan\nAN ANALYSIS OF IDEOLOGICAL CONTROVERSIES |\nIshtiaq Ahmed","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-section-sections--22063417950244__header_mega_store_GNYFcp\" class=\"shopify-section shopify-section-group-header-group section-header layout-2 scroll-up scr-pass-header shopify-section-header-hidden header-sticky shopify-section-header-sticky\"\u003e\u003cheader class=\"header relative gradient remove_spacing color-default  border-bottom popup-search-mobile\" data-section-id=\"sections--22063417950244__header_mega_store_GNYFcp\" data-sticky=\"on-scroll-up\" data-sticky-mobile=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"header__inner header__layout-3\" id=\"header-sticky\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"header-top__actions\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"stretch_width\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"header-mega-store logo-position relative z-1 z-1025-16 section pt-min pb-min flex logo-center gap-10 header-middle align-center justify-between hidden-sticky\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block hidden-1025\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-action=\"toggle-nav\" class=\"action nav-toggle overlay inline-flex pointer w-44 h-44 hidden-1025 header-color align-center\"\u003eSince its creation in 1947, the basis of Pakistan polity has caused endless controversy regarding its ideological foundations.The discussion has been articulated in terms of a God versus a state based on sovereignty of the people.Ishtiaq Ahmed here sets out nine positions or 'theories'.
