Brace for election aftershocks

 It’s time to sensitise for election aftershocks. 

One would’ve hoped that people understand the game. Soak in that Imran Khan is no more at least for next five years (2 + 3 years of extension) nor will PTI have any role during this period. It’s not my wish, I’m just unfolding the game for you. IK has done his bit. He was bitter and angry at orchestrators of regime change. He defied all power hubs and paid the price with incarceration, however, gained more popularity than anyone ever got in this country. But for now his game if not over is stalled.  But my word, are we not optimistic! We are so optimistic that we keep hoping against the hope. We see a tiny glimmer and waste no time pinning all our hopes to it. By the way, there is nothing wrong with optimism. Current political circus will make a legend out of Imran Khan and country’s downward slide shall continue. On a lighter note, another positive outcome of current political carnival would be that Malkoo will also go down in history as a legendary folk singer for his YouTube ratings. Those hoping for the change after listening to those Vloggers who use saucy captions like game changed, cases reversed, tables turned, Khan is back etc are fooling you for their ratings. They know majority wants to feel this kick, this sensation, this high of their dreams coming true. However, it’s time to wake up and smell the coffee. Nawaz Sharif is about to take field through his dream team of three Chiefs. How it all came to this point? The CEC is antagonised by PTI because they vehemently maligned and demonised him though not wrongfully. The CJ is bitterly spiteful, whose wife was taken to court to defend her assets abroad. Present army chief was demitted from DG ISI office by Imran Khan. What do you expect from this power trio? If today, you denounce project Nawaz Sharif then keep in mind once upon a time project Imran Khan was also launched by the same establishment. That one page. Those accolades. Trust was so high that it culminated in Bajwa extension. It could’ve carried on but IK defied US and Zionist clout came in to motion. Feel for SMQ who only once called Zionists deep pockets and goes deeper into jail for longer term.

Anyway, get real people. Put your emotions aside, put on reality check hat. Where lies the power? Who calls the shots in this country? Who controls from abroad those who call the shots in this country? The whole power matrix is totally and completely in sync on one point. No Imran Khan. We somehow underestimate what we are up against. Majority of the world right now is hostage to Zionists except China and Russia and see how these countries, great civilisations of the past, economic giants and military powers who challenge unipolar universe of US are vilified by western media. Growing up watching Rocky fight Ivan Drago left indelible imprints of Russians as enemies of the good people i.e. us & US. How naive were we, how crafty were they? In Pakistan, we are hostage to cruel human Zionist bots. How miserable is the scenario. These manipulators who use nationalism, patriotism and religion as subterfuge only to shield their business of power and money. 

Past two years, things have been ‘managed’ with blatant lies, naked brutality and preposterous haughtiness. Crux of Pakistan’s history that I delved in for past two months is a tale of incompetence, hubris and greed. I regret that deeper plunge into the history because personally I was ok with two nation theory that a mango tree cannot yield apples and vice versa. And being a Muslim Pakistani ex soldier, was pretty happy to prepare myself and next generation for Gazvah-e-Hind and equip against Dajjal’s trickery. It all got a serious hit. Was unable to write. Was unable to put all the broken pieces of perception and trust together. Current political drama by apolitical forces is the same story being repeated generation after generation. Only the characters change but the script remains unchanged. IK received bullets, slander and prison. For fun and pun, he was saved by the COVID. Despite COVID, growth rate was above 6. Imagine if it crossed 7, that would’ve meant certain death. Bhutto was hanged when he reached 7. And they did check his foreskin to propagate he was non Muslim but his circumcision saved him from false advertisement of his privates but not from death. In short, the scheme of things has been and is as such that this dreadful scenario is likely to prevail for times to come which is kind of disappointing. Can we hope for better tomorrow? What could be the cost? You can do the math, it will roughly cost us as much as is the cost of freedom.

Back to election aftershocks. Firstly, the pre-poll rigging is complete in best possible way. Take a minute to applaud those who plan meticulously and execute ruthlessly. For the executioners, further exposé is not an issue. 

Now embrace for polling day rigging. No polling agents, denial of right to vote and rejection of vote on technical grounds shall be the order of the day. It is a one day affair which will come to pass before you know it. Not discouraging you to vote. I’m travelling 200 Kms on election day to vote as a national duty. Casting vote and hoping for impact is idealism. 

Realism shall set in after post polling rigging which is the real deal. As shamelessly, the system has been hijacked for seven decades and more flagrantly in past two years, don’t be surprised with election aftershocks. It would be much better to call this activity a referendum for installing pro-establishment cocktail government pretty much like PDM medley. Expect massive rigging in vote count. You will be blind-sighted that day because the shark has sharpened her teeth to cut the cable. Media from Samaa, Geo to 71st channel on Waseeb are all PTV clones. They run the tickers on WhatsApp messages received from custodians of information without changing comas and full stops.  You have to laud the planners to deprive the popular party of its symbol, continuous harassment and 34 years of prison sentence to its leader. In absence of a party, majority independent (PTI candidates) will sit in JKT’s plane and renounce party allegiance. They shall vote for Nawaz Sharif and Co (IPP, PPP, JUI (F), MQM, and rest of establishment parties). Resentment and defiance of brave-heart KPK might re-enact 9 May and the system will unleash on them. However, if they could keep the cool, establishment would like to use them as a pressure point to keep Nawaz & Co guessing and keep PTI hopes alive. Later is more likely. 

A hung parliament is what the doctor has ordered. It will have to be an ineffective government with multiple pressure points and immediate replacement options. With finance and foreign affairs out of his reach, hands tied NS who is blessed with self destruct button right before or after the ‘extension’ will be replaced with his sibling who is ideal for the job. He loves to polish and they like the shine on their shoes. Zardari clan may also get a shot at the Chief Executive slot. Rest of the establishment parties shall keep enjoying the ministries like past practice to stay in the game. So this is next five year political plan for you. Like it or not, this is what it is. Yes, there is a bigger better Planner in whose control is every atom of this universe, He can unplug it any time He wants. 

Only Allah knows the whole Truth.
