Carnage at Model Town Lahore augurs beginning of the end. 3500 police personnel poured in to remove the ‘barriers’. Killed innocent people and brutally battered everyone present on spot. Ironically, registered murder FIR against Tahir ul Qadri’s son. Ministers of the state were exuding fire just like loyal Haman. Pharoses must have felt small on display of arrogance by our rulers.
administration and judiciary. Most of these run gambling hubs while others do drugs and bootlegging. They have gangsters on their payroll who can make life of any person miserable. Every citizen is bound to have issues pertaining administration and judiciary. This is where ordinary citizens need help of these goons who resove their petty issues from the back of their hands under the able patronage of respected politicians. Hence guarnteeing votes for their masters. In central Punjab, if your buffalo is stolen or your brand new car is nicked, go to the Dera of MPA which act as a "Facilitation Centers". Distressed people not only pay money but leave those places highly obliged after paying money for their stolen goodies. Hence, without coming to fore, politicians control their constituencies. Difference between Punjab and Karachi politics is only that MQM has organized setup and central control on criminal activities whereas Punjabi politicians do the same from behind the curtain.
The best lesson from known history is
to fight one front at a time. Present govt has concurrently opened up many
fronts. Cold war with army on Pervez Musharraf issue is going on. There may not
be any love lost for Pervez Musharraf. But mere fact that he was COAS, gives
him certain privileges. Army is an institution built on brotherhood. Army will
not abandon him. If they did not like him, they should have stood up to him
when he was in power. But vendetta and egos are way too large than the size of
men. It was a golden opportunity to let go off Pervez Musharraf once his mother
was seriously ill. It would have been a win win decision. Even letting him go
after Sindh High Court’s decision to remove his name from ECL would have earned
tons of good faith. Instead central govt challenged the decision in Supreme
Court. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr Nawaz Sharif was allowed to flee from
the country under a written agreement once he was convicted. Wonder, who are
their advisors? Are those advisors sincere? Is govt going to commit suicidal on
itself?
Other front is on going operation in
Waziristan. In 13 months, it was only for 48 hours that nation seemed to rally
behind the govt when it announced commencement of operation in Waziristan.
After those 48 hours, govt sent suicidal mission of Punjab Poliice on Qadria at
Model Town Lahore and the tide completely turned. Again the question on
advisors of govt arises with full force. Although, there are serious
reservations, whether govt willingly went ahead with the operation or it was
forced to do so. Particularly, when announcement of operation came 24 hours
earlier through ISPR than the govt itself.
Another front is the media bias of
govt. Govt’s unflinching love for Geo and Jang Group is evident with punishment
awarded to ARY to balance the charge sheet. Govt had to take entire media
along. But this requires transparency and unbiased approach which is not
possible with these people. Media will naturally unleash on govt and their image
will further go down the drain. Prime Minister went to see Hamid Mir in
hospital but he did not bother to pay visit to affected of Model Town incident.
Had he visited Qadria in first couple of days of the incident, it would have
taken the sting out of situation besides fulfilling his moral obligation it
would have had political advantage. But the question remains, who are their
advisors?
Corruption is rampant. Govt continues
to appoint her stooges on every office of significance. All money producing
institutions/ projects are controlled by the Royal Family. Recent appointment
of Arsalan Iftikhar as Vice Chairman of Investment Board of Balochistan says it
all. Unfortunately, Mian Sahab could not get a Durbari Army Chief in all three
tenures. May it be General Abdul Waheed Kakar, Mirza Asalm Beg, Jehangir
Karamat, Pervez Musharraf or Rahil Sharif. He appoints an army general (at
times violating army’s merit) thinking he will find a humble servant in him but
hats off to army’s grooming, each time a bona fide patriotic Pakistani turns
up. Present chief is no exception who has already bitterly Disappointed the
ruling Clan.
All these above
incidents and scenarios are pointing towards end of the road for Nawaz Sharif.
He will be the only PM in history who made it thrice and thrice could not
complete his tenure. Writing is on the wall. Signs are evident. Blood has been
spilt. We cannot expect Nawaz Sharif and Co to change their way of thinking.
Which inevitably means early exodus. I really wonder who are their advisors
