any, regarding deprivation and exploitation. The

and harmony and to alleviate fears of the smaller
provinces regarding domination by any one
province because of its majority, in the National
Assembly.

• Leg Pulling of each other (Political Parties) with the Help

of Umpire’s Finger.
• Always Indirect intervention which is known as Umpire’s
Finger, Helping Hand, Boot or Khalai Makhloq.
• Up till Now 2 Major Political Parties are almost Finished.
 Umpire’s Finger
Known as Establishment, If we Define Establishment, we can Say
that Political Wing of Army is known as Establishment.

Since Pakistan’s Inception, Indirect intervention has been the

Part of Pakistani Politics Whether its Electoral Process or by
Marshal Law.

Why So ?
