There's clearly a bit of misunderstanding about the authority and responsibility of ATCOs. Their role is "to provide a safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic".
They are neither trained, nor authorised, to tell an aircraft captain what to do with his aircraft ... beyond the aforementioned parameters.
"Go Around", if timely, is relevant. Telling the PIA pilot NOT to Go Around after the runway scrape is completely inappropriate.
