With Imran’s defeat after May 9, the religious group lost its key ally

Islamabad. In Pakistan, religious parties, organizations and several radical religious groups have brought the current governments to their knees through protests, rallies and sit-ins on issues related to their self-perceived perception of the government’s inability to respond aggressively. forced. Events, happenings and statements issued by their political leaders or representatives of other countries. We have seen violent confrontational protests across the country in the past, disrupting and seizing connectivity between cities and religious groups bringing the country to a standstill. However, with the ouster of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and the “poor performance” of the Shehbaz Sharif government, hardline religious groups have turned their aggressions within themselves. Apart from religious groups, political parties with religious credentials have also been kept out of the limelight. While there could be many reasons behind this sudden change, one factor that holds true is that religious parties have always needed the support of a mainstream political party to work in coalition. This is because religious parties in Pakistan and their continuity with religious norms and practices, keep them at a distance from the ruling class. “Religious parties want to implement Sharia law in the country. Their views are seen as conservative point of view by the rest of the world. That is why they need a traditional alliance with a traditional political party with moderate views, with which They can work together.” ,” said senior political analyst Adnan Showkat. He said, “This time we have seen a coalition government. And with almost all parties in government except one, the religious parties might not be able to find an alliance for themselves.” Adnan Showkat said that religious groups could not find any partner after Imran Khan became non-affiliated after the May 9 violence. “Another reason these radical groups have gone silent is because… they could not support Imran Khan after the May 9 riots, they could never afford to stand against the military establishment because it They also have a support base, and they could do so. Adnan Shaukat said, “Choose an ally within the coalition government to take your stand for the anti-government protest or movement.” Religious groups and parties in Pakistan have massive public support and constitute a vote bank, making them an entity that cannot be ignored by any political force. And with election campaigning starting, the doors of these silent religious groups are sure to open with friendly political visitors and Will knock with attractive offers to gain their support. Pakistan is an Islamic republic and religious followers, sentimental supporters or religious groups and their leaders, who declare themselves as protectors of Islam, is a sentiment that no one opposes. People who are sometimes part of religious groups’ protests and rallies are not necessarily part of the organization, but are supporters of the pro-Islamist slogans run by the group, making these groups national Become a formidable force with the ability to be involved in all corners of the world. country within a few hours.
