It has always been about Mr Pakistan but along came Mr Khâñ. Mr Pakistan manufactured many Frankenstein but this one is here to stay. A sour pill which Mr Pakistan might have to swallow willy-nilly. So now we know how Pakistan was dismembered in 1971. The difference is that Mr Pakistan back then was obstinate and now he wants to appear arrogant but deep down he is pragmatic. So like Mr America, Mr Pakistan saves the day for the nation by releasing Mr Khan today except that it’s Mr Pakistan who brings all these perils to Pakistan in the first place. In hindsight, one wonders, if we had same Mr Pakistan back in 1971, Pakistan could have remained united.
So the ‘sense’ prevailed in 48 hours, as Mr Khan was released.
Let’s recap what happened in past 15 months. Mr America didn’t want IK in power for his ‘absolutely not’ or Islamic outlook or whatever. People of Pakistan had always had very special romance with Mr Pakistan. They were in awe & shock to accept that Mr Pakistan could orchestrate what happened in last April. However, we pardon as long as we love. Since their love wasn’t skin deep so they thought next Mr Pakistan shall restore their faith but they didn’t see any visible change. It could have all changed in a matter of days rather hours if old one was taken to task along with his top ‘dirty’ accomplices but the stakes were too high. So the poor but smart people of pure land bombarded with too much information/ disinformation didn’t get confused rather they learnt to cut through the noise and decipher the information correctly. Some of the media people also broke free from meagre pay packages of Media House owners and started making money in dollars from Social Media income. They might have grown up in the lap if Mr Pakistan’s information laboratory but they also saw their survival, ratings and money in ‘biased truth’. So they also went rogue or at least this is what Mr Pakistan thinks.
