Pakistan and COVID-19 Pandemic: Is the Army Taking Advantage?
April 18, 2020
Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Nihar R. Nayak’s commentary on COVID-19 and Pakistan Army, titled ‘Pakistan and COVID-19 Pandemic: Is the Army Taking Advantage?’, has been published by the Society for the Study of Peace and Conflict (SSPC) on April 18, 2020.
Although the performance of Imran Khan’s government has not been impressive over the last 20 months, there seems to be no imminent threat to that. Since the army is committed to not to allow any political instability in the country during the double crisis (economic and Corona) and at the same time, it has been acting as a ‘de facto’ ruler, it would prefer the continuation of this government with some modifications in the current governance structure, writes Dr. Nayak.
