During a public gathering in the Multan district of Punjab on Friday, Pakistani opposition leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman delivered a speech addressing the current state of governance in the country. Rehman emphasized that for Pakistan to function effectively, there must be a clear separation of powers between the military, the bureaucracy, and elected civilian institutions.

Rehman argued that the nation’s survival and stability are contingent upon each of these sectors operating strictly within their defined constitutional domains. He specifically cautioned that if these institutions overstep their boundaries, the country will inevitably be "crushed under the weight of power." This rhetoric highlights ongoing tensions in Pakistan regarding the influence of the military establishment in civilian political affairs. While Rehman’s comments serve as a critique of the current power dynamics, he framed the issue as a structural necessity for national functionality rather than a personal grievance. The speech reflects a broader, long-standing debate in Pakistani politics concerning the balance of authority between elected officials and the military-bureaucratic complex. As of now, there has been no official response from the military or government officials regarding these specific remarks made in Multan.
