The Letter, The Speech and Beyond- Part 1

If you are anti IK then you must be in a festive mood. So revert to Geo News because this blog won't satisfy your frustrations. 

If you are on IK's side, then read the message between the lines of his speech. If you can't then allow me to unravel the message for you.

If you are neutral, you still have a stance which doesn't make you an animal but a Kofi (اہل کوفہ), however, it is better to stand with Pakistan even if you have to stand with the lesser evil.

Establishment abandoned IK. The dilly-dallying to prevent him from going public with his speech on The Letter was happening by design. Idea was to delay so much that he  was sent packing before this speech came to pass. Why intentional delay in speech by the establishment? Because, it would be like putting the cat among the pigeons with IK on ascendancy. I feel sorry for undue stick Army gets for decisions made by people at the helm of affairs only to satisfy their false personal egoes. IK was not likeable anymore. Root cause of this mess could be traced in Chief Executive's romance with The Extension. It was a mistake, it always proves to be counterproductive whether out of merit appointmentof COAS in Zia & Musharraf or last two extensions both appointee and appointed suffered more so Army,  people and country. While contesting last extension in a blog, I went mild thinking that it may work this time around. Not to be. As personal interests shrunk between declared and undeclared Kings of the land, undeclared changed colours. Delayed postings etc didn't help the cause. Page got torn apart. But I personally feel ashamed how enthusiastically Army puts the ladder against the wall for new political faces and how dispassionately pulls it back leaving newbies stranded on the wall. This game should have never been played. It must not continue. I'd expect generation next to resist this temptation and desist shameful past practices of rescuing and drowning the same prople. Enough on establishment. Let's examine other game players in next entry. It is coming right away because we are running out of time for making our minds as to where we stand and what next, particularly neutrals.
