As Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan met the Pakistan army chief General Bajwa, army spokesperson Asif Ghafoor and Director-General of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), netizens on Twitter called out the nominal powers of the Khan and to Pakistan's embarrassment highlighted how the military-terror deep state is the real wielder of power in the country. 

Pakistani journalist Naila Inayat took to her social media handle and tweeted a picture of Imran Khan seated on a sofa, across him army spokesperson Asif Ghafoor was seated and beside him was ISI DG Lt. Gen Faiz Hameed and army chief of Pakistan General Qamar Javed Bajwa. Amid this, just about everyone wondered who is the 'boss' among them, a pertinent point given that Imran Khan even had to be chaperoned by Pak Army chief Bajwa when he went to meet US President Donald Trump last week.
