Crisis in Pakistan's Judiciary and Military Relations

In Pakistan, the current political landscape has given rise to a profound crisis between the judiciary and the military establishment. In recent days, signs of a power struggle between senior judges of the Supreme Court and the army have emerged. This conflict raises questions about how long the army can maintain control over the judiciary and whether judges will be able to regain their independence. The situation is further complicated by former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who appears unwilling to negotiate any form of National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO). The current government is contemplating a 27th amendment to the constitution, which could heighten tensions further. If judges make the right decisions, they could emerge victorious in this struggle. On the other hand, the arrest of Eman Mazari has exacerbated the situation, with remarks from leaders like Imran Khan and Maryam Nawaz potentially stirring up further turmoil in this political conflict. A new wave of hostilities between the judiciary and the government looms over Pakistan, indicating a tumultuous path ahead for the nation's governance.
