Abstract

This research investigates the root causes of political radicalization in Pakistan from a scholarly perspective in order to understand the 9th May incident and examines the military court's role in curbing this radicalization. Although the establishment of military tribunals was motivated by a desire to combat terrorism, now it is the need of the hour to have complete plans that address issues like economic disparity, religious extremism, effective leadership, and the dissemination of positive narratives about diversity and tolerance that can help reduce the likelihood of people being politically radicalized (Siddiqi, 2018). To prevent people from getting radicalized and create a safe and welcoming society for all, a reasonable and open justice system controlled by civilians is essential. This paper tries to conceptualize how political radicalization can be tamed through military courts' existence by first (i) examining political radicalization in Pakistani society and then (ii) exploring military court establishment and significance in (iii) combating extreme ideas and preventing people from becoming politically radicalized in Pakistan.
