No Prime Minister in Pakistan could ever complete full term, is the post jinxed?

The ongoing political crisis compelled many to question if the throne of Pakistan is jinxed as no PM in the history of the Islamic nation has completed a full tenure.
New Delhi: Pakistan is once again witnessing a power-tussle and undemocratic change of government after Imran Khan, who closely missed the loss of the throne after a non-confidence motion against him was quashed. The leader urged the President to dissolve the elected government and call for fresh elections.
The ongoing political crisis, being called ‘Imran Khan’s attempt to save face by Pakistan media,’ compelled many to question if the throne of Pakistan is jinxed as no PM in the history of the Islamic nation has completed a full tenure.
Pakistan, which was created in 1947 out of India after the fateful post-Independence partition, saw the change of powers more often than any other so-called democracy.
The jinx or ill-fate of our neighbours began just four years after its advent with the assassination of the first-ever elected PM of the country. Then the continuous power hustle between The Muslim League and other leaders led to the change of four prime ministers in just the span of 6 years from 1951-56.
This apart, Pakistan saw two undemocratic military rules from 1958 to 1973 and then in 1977 following the assassination of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
