I am writing this some from my memories of what my father passed down during discussions and some that I have read about in some books written on the topic.
After the 1971 war, it was well known among the military circles that Gen. Niazi repeatedly asked for a Court-Martial from Bhutto, Gen. Niazi also asked for his own court-martial in some press talks and it was published in the newspapers also.
But, Bhutto would not do that, and Gen. Tikka would not do that because for one it was easy to blame Gen.Niazi for the surrender and take the heat away from Bhutto, and secondly they both knew that if they did they would be digging holes if not their own graves.
Gen. Niazi passed away, Bhutto was hanged but no court-martial was ever held so there sits a lot of dust on the secrets of what happened and how Gen. Niazi was tricked into surrendering.
Now, there is a similar situation, PTI and IK are demanding an inquiry into the validity of their claim of a saazish but Establishment and their puppets are hesitating, dragging their feet though if they are right they have the golden opportunity to destroy PTI. Yet, Establishment and the imported government are reluctant and resistant to this opportunity on a platter.
This begets the question of what stops the Establishment and imported government from making a clean swooping kill?
The answer in my mind is they are trying to avoid a shameful suicide.
