So the countdown begins today 17 July, Sunday - The D Day.
Apparently, we are talking about provincial by-elections with less than a year’s term in office but it’s outcome and impact could have far reaching consequences for the country.
Whether WIC of Kalay Angrez (West India Company comprising Establishment, Judiciary, ECP, Executive & PDM etc) or PTI win tomorrow or even if there is no result, election process suspended or in case of any other eventuality, political Sturm & Drang (turmoil) in the country is only going to accentuate. Hence, today’s result notwithstanding which party wins, is going to add fuel to political fireworks expected in next few days and months till November 2022. In case of another extension, the turbulence could continue for considerable time.
There could be two apparent results of this election. If Govt wins desired seats then status quo is maintained because HSS is already CM Punjab.
If PTI wins desired number of seats, Punjab returns to them. What they could do or should do with this victory comes after we have discussed things they didn’t or couldn’t do.
It’s all about power. Power is all about decisions making by the powerful. Those out of favour of the powerful need to be very watchful in their decision making. When Punjab was lost by PTI, they got the taste of Punjab Police during Long March on 25 April. If PTI had resigned from National Assembly, there should have been no looking back. They should’ve fought it out till the bitter end. Having resigned from all NA seats, two months down road, same PTI is fighting tooth and nail to win few Provincial Assembly seats. It was a poor decision to call off Dharna at that time because the momentum among masses.
Good news for PTI is that momentum wasn’t/ isn’t lost. At the same time, if PTI loses tonight, IK shouldn’t wait for another opportunity like this because the time is slipping away, economy has taken a nose dive and governance is limited to PTI centric revenge from workers and journalists. Are things going to change or improve? Wishful to say the least because things will only get worse.
Bad signs that IK has unblocked few numbers meaning thereby opening the doors for Mr X & Y to facilitate access to Mr B. This is a mistaken belief that allowing access to intelligence operators of WIC shall do any good to the country let alone PTI/ IK. It is a delusion that remaining within this system, change could be affected. IK has to take the system on otherwise they will keep offering him lollipops and buy time from him. From day one of regime change, my stance was that WIC needs time to find its feet in new settings where international establishment is hand & glove with them but people of Pakistan have rejected this new arrangement in power corridors. PTI/ IK had to tighten the noose when momentum was with them in the beginning and they are lucky that people are still supporting IK’s narrative and coming out in numbers.
Change and status quo are opposite poles. Economics is everything today. People across the globe worship only one god that gives them more money. Even monotheists ask their God for money only. Accumulating wealth and material gains is the criterion of success. Money makes people happy or sad life, health and every other blessing is taken for granted. Money hub is mafias. Countries are controlled by mafias. US by gun and oil mafia while Pakistan by land mafia. Other mafias are much smaller like sugar, manufacturers, media, drugs etc. Just see how one of the top land mafia tycoons (Aleem Khan) is not made CM Punjab and a democratically elected Govt is toppled. WIC works for land mafias. Mafia calls the shots and they have to oblige. So if anyone thinks that remaining within the system, change can be brought is delusional to say the least.
In case of victory IK/ PTI should dissolve the assemblies of KPK and Punjab and demand immediate general elections. As the momentum is favourable, get maximum seats in next general elections and change the system to presidential form.
In case of loss, take the game to WIC. Choke the country until the demands are met. People are up for it but leadership is or not, remains to be seen.
Sadly, disappointed in IK for calling off Dharna before sit in. I guess a missed opportunity. But once again giving him benefit of honest mistake, let’s hope he doesn’t miss on this one.
May Allah Bless Pakistan with political stability & prosperity. Ameen
