This is a short but possibly serious window of opportunity.
The Fake Martial has, believe it or not, insulted the entire Shia community of Pakistan. In a closed door meeting with Shia ulema, he delivered a rant that questioned their patriotism and loyalty, among other things telling them, “If you love Iran so much, then go to Iran”.
The magnitude of the insult, a body blow to their honour, is being underlined by the clearly incensed Shia religious leaders in their own videos.

It’s all over their SM too.
Thoughts:
1. It’s insane that a Pakistani ‘leader’ can say such things to the people who represent 15-20 per cent of your population.
2. But now that he’s said it how do we exploit this hallowed Pakistani tradition of strategic brilliance?
— Should a Shia ulema meet an unknown gunman apparently sent by PA?
— Should there be a Shia protest march in Gilgit Baltistan or Quetta or Isloo to start a second Karbala?
— Should a young and passionate Shia bravo (could be a Fauji too!) try to nail Asim Munir’s testimonials to the closest Imambara door?
— Should Pakistani Shias organise a warrior force to help brotherly nation of Iran?
I seriously hope the appropriate agencies are looking at this.

BREAKING: Asim Munir Told Pro-Iran Shia Ulema To Go To Iran If They Love The Country So Much
Amid rising tensions in West Asia and the war involving Iran, Israel and the United States, Pakistan finds itself walking a tightening diplomatic tightrope. Deep strategic defence ties with Riyadh, longstanding geopolitical alignments, and economic dependencies are generating external expectations that Islamabad may back its traditional Gulf ally if hostilities escalate. At the same time, internal sectarian sensitivities and domestic security concerns are making outright involvement increasingly risky, pushing the country towards a posture of cautious neutrality that is becoming harder to sustain.
These pressures were reflected in recent remarks by Pakistan’s army chief, Asim Munir, who met Shia religious scholars from the Ahl-e-Tasheeh community. According to a participant who shared details on condition of anonymity, the conversation focused on national unity, sectarian harmony, and Pakistan’s position amid intensifying regional rivalries. Munir’s central message was unequivocal: “Sab Se Pehle Toh Pakistan Hai" — Pakistan comes first.

No Tanks, No Pageantry: Pakistan Cancels Republic Day Parade As Oil Crisis Deepens Amid Gulf War
https://www.timesnownews.com/world/asia ... -153868586
The Pakistan government is implementing a range of austerity measures, including reduced work hours and fuel allowances, to manage the economic impact of global fuel supply disruptions amid Middle Eastern conflicts.
This is not the first major decision that Pakistan has taken amid the deepening oil crisis. Last week, Sharif announced a series of austerity steps, including a four‑day work week for government offices, requiring 50 percent of staff to work from home, cutting fuel allowances for official vehicles by half, grounding up to 60 percent of the government fleet and closing all schools for two weeks to conserve fuel amid the global oil crisis, Arab News reported.
“Ministries, divisions, and departments are advised to mark the [Republic Day] occasion in a solemn and respectful manner, ensuring that the essence of the day is preserved despite the scaled‑down celebrations,” Sharif's office said.
