There were multiple reasons for the ouster of IK and those included,
# Strong voice for the muslims at international level.
# Standing up to the bully next door, especially how the events of February 2019 unfolded.
# Scare in KSA and GCC countries of Pak forming an alliance with Turkey and Malaysia
# Vocal alignment of IK with China
# Anxiety of local businessmen in dismantling the structure of crony capitalism and broadening of the tax net
# Mortal fear of the Generals in destroying their monopoly in politics and introduction of EVMs
# Last but not the least is a clear threat to the Fauji Foundation
