Concerns have been raised about the extent of American influence in Pakistan, with claims that Pakistan's state institutions and politics operate with a significant degree of dependency on American interests. Meetings between US and British ambassadors with head important governing heads, particularly the chief election commission have raised questions about Western powers' involvement in Pakistan's affairs.
The recent meetings between American and British diplomats with individuals like Maryam Nawaz, who does not hold a government position but rather a convict by the high court have raised eyebrows. Moreover, the anticipated return of an absconder and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from London has generated significant media attention.
In a contrasting development, a prominent political figure faces numerous charges and is currently incarcerated. Critics argue that these charges may be politically motivated however not true. A documentary, 'Behind Closed Doors', a Documentary Unmasking Corruption and Money Laundering has enough evidence of money laundering and corruption by the Sharif Family.

It is lamentable to witness Pakistan's current state, characterized by instability and economic challenges. Many feel that speaking out against the establishment could lead to accusations of treachery, imprisonment, disappearances, or even violence.
This is a sobering account of Pakistan's journey since its inception, leaving many concerned about the nation's future. Those who proudly represented Pakistan abroad are reluctant to return due to fears of persecution. The hope for change lies with Pakistan's citizens, numbering twenty-four million, but fear and uncertainty have cast a shadow over their ability to effect change.
