A Revulation, That Was Never Meant To Be

                 A REVULATION, THAT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE

Pakistan in last few weeks has gone through the worst possible political turmoil in recent history, not  by a political stakeholder but rather by a Canadian National, dropping in Pakistan, on a bright sunny day, with a slogan of change and electoral reforms etc. Started his journey from huge jalsa at Minar e Pakistan, where he challenged the current political elite sitting in Federal and provisional Governments, threatening a Long March on 14th of January with four Million of his followers.

As it turned out to be, he actually led a Long March, but unfortunately only a few thousand people participated, according to independent sources not more than 1000 vehicles entered Islamabad, people close to 30-40 thousands including children, women . The resolve and courage of this crowd must be lauded and appreciated ( usually students from Mudrassas and religious school are fanatics because they are educated and molded that way), they weathered the intense cold of Islamabad for almost three and half days, but hope of new Pakistan kept them going. Their leader in the mean while, rested in a cozy Bullet Proof Container built at a cost of 15 to 20 million, equipped with Five Star Hotel Room facility.




Canadian National like a successful wizard , created a human shield of Women and Children, played with the emotions of youth in the sit in, presented his Charter consisting of Points, few totally negated the Spirit of Constitution of  Pakistan. But he pressed on with his demands as days passed, people sitting in the sit in, against all odds weathered the chilled cold and showed patience, Canadian Nationals real strength arose from gutsy crowd of few thousand people.

In the mean while, Government completely shaken by the Dharna in Islamabad, was as usual  lethargic in its response, didn't know what to do, the sit in brought the whole city to stand still, local and international media was focused on the big event, while Karachi Stock Market lost more than 200 billion in three days. Government tried to find clues and connect dots of forces behind the Canadian National, because they were literally shaken by events.

So the onus rested with the two main opposition parties, PTI and PMLN. PTI as thier leader on numerous occasions had owned Qadri's agenda , for which he and his Party was striving for years. PTI top officials openly supported Qadri in TV talk shows, encouraging their leader to join the bandwagon, confused everyone. Whole campaign  run by PTI social Media team, asked their members to Join Qadri's March , hats off to youth, who seems more wise and sane than their leader, said no to the opportunity and put their full weight and might behind the Democratic forces.

On the other hand PMLN leader Nawaz Sharif, who's Brother Sad Demise a day or two before this event, completely shut their political activities. Politically speaking, this moment had given PTI and Imran Khan a golden opportunity to lead the Opposition parties and become a hero, his youth following always dreams this kind of event, unfortunately, his inability to act timely, flip flop actions will haunt him, for rest of his life.

On the other hand Nawaz Sharif known for his patience and political wisdom, came out of the mourning's, did an act, which infact, halted the sounds of Boots which for quite some time were resonating in Pakistan. Because according to some, this conspiracy against Democracy was hatched in Pindi. Nawaz Sharif gathered the whole opposition under one roof, they after hectic consultations were able to chalk out a ten point agenda, which was constitutionally very sound and impeccable, compared to Qadri's four point charter which looked Unconstitutional and Imran seven point Agenda of his own, which seemed very flawed.



Parties from all four provinces participated in the meeting, were on the same pitch of voice and said that only way forward , was constitution of Pakistan and nothing else. This is 2013 Pakistan and nobody be allowed to cross the lines this time round. That reminded me of COD and BB Shaheed, who along with NS signed that historic document, where both committed to the Nation that only way forward in Pakistan was Democracy and Rule of Law.

This resolve of Opposition gave Government a lot of strength to enter in negotiations with Qadri, bowed down to his demands and drafted a paper called Long March Declaration, many points which opposition had already decided in its meeting except a few, for example regarding (Care taker Prime Minister) were included in the  declaration., but Government took a wise decision to defuse the situation successfully, so children and Women could go to their homes whom Qadri had used as human shield for his demands. It was not only inhuman but also rested on the brink of disaster

The whole fiasco clearly shows the political maturity of our Democratic System. Are there  winners and losers in the end?.

Yes PTI, a sure loser, their slogan of Change and reforms, stolen by a Canadian National. Imran's inability to act timely and his indecisiveness to take right decisions at the right time casting his party dearly. Firstly, it should have been PTI who should have initiated this March. Okay, even if they missed the chance , why to be hesitant in condemning a Canadian National, rather  accepted his agenda and showed willingness to participate in the March, dented IK image as a Political Leader, and dimmed prospects of his Party chances in next GE as well. Secondly PTI left alone, as whole Opposition choose thier side.

Nawaz Sharif again emerged as a man of substance and wisdom, very clear headed about his politics and future of Pakistan. Where rule of Law and Civilian supremacy is key to Pakistan success and future rise. His credentials as Political Leader increased many folds and respect among the Opposition parties particularly,  Baloch Nationals are strengthened further, because they have started to believe, that their is some one  who can challenge the powers who matter, is a good sign for Pakistan Federation. This unity of opposition has sent, a strong message to the Bosses that unconstitutional move will be resisted with full force, with People's might and backing.



PPP gained a lot, by successfully broking a deal with Qadri and saving thousands of lives. Their credentials as a Democratic Political Force increased. redeemed their popularity a bit. As I have said in my last Blog, Zardari is a very shrewd politician, making final moves on his Chess game, may be Qadri was his key pawn, trying to check mate everyone. Zardari forgets, Pakistan in 2013 has come a long way and has learnt a lot of lessons, lot of garbage will be filtered in next elections and a new Nation will emerge.

CJ of Pakistan has enhanced his credentials that he is a firm believer in rule of law, constitution and democracy, has given a clear message, particularly to hidden hands that only way is to follow the rule of law and abide by the constitution.

Finally Canadian National, win win situation for him, was an unexpected hero, his stature as Leader among his followers enhanced, but lost lot of prestige among common man, even if Government doesn't abide by the Long March Document, Qadris followers might be thinking that their leader has done more than enough for his country than any body else, risking his life, leaving a comfortable Canadian life and coming back for the love of the Motherland.

There are reports in the press, that Mr.Qadri is flying back to Canada on 27th Jan to appear in a court which has issued him a notice to answer questions about his Canadian oath and his asylum plea.

Higg's Boson Of Politics and Pakistan's Democracy

                 Higg's Boson of Politics and Pakistan's Democracy

Higgs Boson, the energy field or Gods Particle which imparts mass to other particles which have no mass or have very little mass plays a big role in Pakistan politics. Pakistan ranks  among those unfortunate countries,who after 63 years of its very existence, is  unable to decide the SYSTEM to run its day to day affairs, resulting in  present day chaotic situation . This country has become a ping pong between Democracy and Dictatorship, a laughing stalk among the International Community, who often describe Pakistan as failed state at different International Forums.

Irony of the matter is, Quaid-e-Azam Creator and founder of Pakistan, who gave a clear road map for the progress and future prospects of this great Nation, Quaid e Azam as  Governor General in a message on Friday 15th August 1947"

          "Quote" 

                        Pakistan is a land of great Potential resources,but to built it up into a Country worthy of the Muslim Nation we shell require every ounce of energy that we possess and i am confident it will come from all whole-heatedly.

Democracy is in blood of Musslamans,who look upon complete equality of manhood(sic). I give you an example,Very often when i go the Mosque,my Chauffeur stand side by side with me.Mussalamans believe in fraternity,equality and liberty.

Let us lay the foundations of our Democracy on the basis of true Islamic ideals and principles.Our "Almighty has taught us "our decision in the affairs of the state shell be guided by discussion and consultations.

"The Establishment of  Pakistan was the means to an end and not an end in itself.The idea was that we shell have a State in which we could live an breath as free men and which we could develop in our own lights and culture and where principles of Islamic Social Justice could find free play...

Pakistan after 63 years of Civil Military struggle, is heading towards transfer of power from one elected Government to another under the supervision of Independent Election Commission, which has never happened before. But as this country has witnessed this episode many a times in the  past, Hidden Hands are getting frustrated and fearful of losing their Power and afraid of Parliamentary System  roots to get deeper. Credit must be given to this Parliament, which Survived the scare of fake Degrees, Bogus Votes, Tax Evasion etc, but we must realise these things happen when we wouldn't let Democracy take its course and find its way, it will automatically start filtering those who do not mould themselves as per requirement of the democracy.

Pakistan in last few Weeks is witnessing the same old rhetoric's, this time from a Canadian Imported Revolutionary, who left people of Pakistan in lurch when Dictator was ruling the country.

Now Question arises, what went wrong in last couple of Weeks, is it same old Game Plan?. Our Bosses, who in the name of better interest of Pakistan ruled it for decades and played significant rule even when they were not in power, except when Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif challenged their might, but they made living example out of them for rest of the lot.

But Game Plan looks different this time round, as ISPR categorically denied any hidden hand behind link to Canadian Imported revolution, still things are not very clear on their part as Gen Kiyani is  mum on the whole situation. May be, he is worried about 2014, year of USA and Allies with-drawl from Afghanistan, our establishment want to have some say in the helm of affairs when final negotiations are completed and take the centre stage. Combined with it, Zardari Era is seen as the worst in history of Pakistan, seems to have shaken their confidence in Politicians, but unfortunately they forget the bitter reality who negotiated the NRO, and paved way for this regime. Lastly, thoughts of Mian Nawaz Sharif as Head Of State  is giving them jitters and uncomfortable feeling, as both Local and International Establishment seems at odd with NS.(Wikileaks ).

Secondly we must not forget, Zardari recognised as the most shrewd politician, making the final moves on his Chess board, firstly he played a master move by appointing Ahmad Mehmood as Governor of Punjab, now may be making his decisive move with his newly Canadian Imported Pawn. As for PPP, it has a lost cause in three Provinces, may win few seats here and there but not big upsets expected, recently concluded By-Polls depict the voting trends , the real Battle Field looks to be in Punjab. So a chaos on 14th January in Islamabad leading to intervention by hidden hands suits Zardari, paving way for NRO 2 and safe exit.

Other ally, MQM frustrated by Scotland-Yard investigation and Supreme court tightening screws regarding Delimitation's and Bogus Votes registered in Karachi, for them establishment Rule is always welcome, gives them the freedom and the Lone Power in Karachi, it would also help them to divert attention from Scotland-yard pending enquiry in Imran Farooq Murder case. Other ally PMLQ is fighting for its very existence, for them its a win win situation. Otherwise it is very likely,   they will be demolished by GE, wouldn't be left with any candidates to field.

So onus lies on Democratic Forces particularly Mian Nawaz Sharif, because he and his party seems to be net loser of this end game. Nawaz Sharif need to show the same wisdom and farsightedness as he had shown during Atomic Blasts, when Pakistan was  under immence pressure from Super Power USA, but he went ahead with blasts without any fear and threat of economic sanctions, Americans soon realised, that Blasts were inevitable. Then he led, Historic Long March, ended with restoration of Judiciary, truly a milestone in  63 year history of Pakistan. Foundation of strong and stable Institution was laid, which according to some, is fighting a lone war against Zardari corrupt regime Nawaz Sharif must bring all the democratic forces to the table, to chalk out the broader based Care-Taker set up acceptable to every one, must push PPP to immediately start the consultation process and announce the Election date to avoid the dire consequences . Pakistan need Nawaz Sharif to provide that leadership and become the torch bearer once again. "Famous Saying"

           "Quote"

                       "once you make the unequivocal internal commitment to do something-when you absolutely know this is the time and place to act-the World around you shifting all sorts of apparently miraculous ways to make it happen". Sara-Susanka

Its the responsibility of Media and Judciary,who are two other pillars of State, to become the guardian and custodian of this Democratic System, only Democracy can let the institutions to flourish and move forward.

History has given Imran Khan and PTI a chance to redeem themselves and reinvent their politics, at once align themselves with Democratic Forces, get out of this Tsunami syndrome, understand the ground realities in politics. Get rid of these ifs and buts regarding Canadian March, categorically condemn drone attacks on Democracy (As Promised by British National), send clear message to his aides, defending Canadian National on TV Talk shows, to back off. Historians remember winners, not losers.

                 God Bless My Country, Pakistan Zindabad.
