According to one Pakistani journalist: Propaganda aside, real reasons are as follows:
- There is a strong and vicious tussle between Nawaz Sharif and the army establishment over the control of various policies.
- Main source of income for the Army establishment and religious groups/ militants have been wars in Afghanistan and in Kashmir.
- Nawaz Sharif wants peace in Kashmir and friendship with India; that is not acceptable to the army establishment, religious groups and militant groups.
- Similarly, Nawaz Sharif wants peace in Afghanistan and is not interested in a policy of strategic depth; and a compliant government in Kabul. Peace is not in the interests of those who have earned billions of dollars since 1979. Just like in Kashmir, they want instability, chaos and bloodshed in Afghanistan.
- Nawaz Sharif’s endeavours to challenge might of the powerful army over control of power; and a treason case against General Musharaf was also not acceptable.
- Finally, Nawaz Sharif’s refusal to allow the army Generals to take over management and control of China Pakistan Economic Corridor was not acceptable. So, it was decided to get rid off Nawaz Sharif by defaming him and his entire family while all other corrupts are allowed to enjoy their corruption.
