The political system is not rotten as we are made to believe. The political system has been and is manipulated at will and with impunity.This is the reason why new and dynamic leadership has not risen with the years. Pakistan must become a Country governed through rule of law
Nearly all of Pakistan’s life has been under direct martial laws or under controlled democracy like in the period 1947-58 and then again from 1988 to 99 and in the period 2002-08.All of this must change if Pakistan has to secure a respectable place in the world as a solid Nation
People like FM Ayub Khan, CJP of the 50s Justice Muneer(infamous for the Law of Necessity), Gen Yahya,Gen Zia, Gen Musharraf and all the Pakistani politicians that have been in Pakistan’s political scene are to be blamed for Pakistan’s predicament.
As a senior citizen of Pakistan who has served in the Army, in the topmost echelons of Pakistan’s bureaucracy and also in high political positions in active politics I can say,without a doubt, that,in the interest of Pakistan,the entire opposition must give up its docile politics
As a senior citizen I stand amongst the #PakistaniSilentMajority and say that the people of Pakistan are free people who do not wish to see arrogant repressive laws that grant the operators of State power the legal latitude to play havoc with the lives of the common Pakistanis
The people of Pakistan and that potent part of Pakistan’s population which I call the #PakistaniSilentMajority hate to see an overbearing State armed with laws,under one or another pretext, that causes fear and discontent because of the absence of a due process of law.
Those who rule Pakistan must realize that suppressing freedom of expression is NO LONGER AN OPTION AVAILABLE. Some TV hosts were gagged by stopping their shows.Some were rendered jobless.The owner of Pakistan’s Jang Group is in jail for 3/4 months now without a conviction
I have seen enough of life being a war veteran and my youth being spent in the Army. Seen war and operations;their miseries and adverse fallouts.Been part of Pakistan’s highest echelons when I worked directly under the PM of Pakistan in the field of National Security decades ago
Seen a decade of active politics as part of the decision making body of PPP and VP of PPPP.Contested two MNA elections unsuccessfully.Been through the dirty mill of horrible political victimization.With ALMIGHTY ALLAH’s Will brought peace to Karachi(95-96) and won Hilal e Shujaat
Everything said in the Supreme Court of Pakistan Judgement granting bail to @KhSaad_Rafique and his brother is very noteworthy. The Supreme Court of Pakistan Judgement has synchronized its voice with that of the #PakistaniSilentMajority who have always stood for rule of law
The State of Pakistan prohibits the power of the State and it’s laws to be misused against its citizens and others who get engulfed in any kind of legal process in Pakistan.Nothing written anywhere in the Constitution,or any law book of Pakistan,empowers anyone to do injustices
All along, everything has been going wrong in the ‘rule of law’ sector of Pakistan’s national life. Laws have been twisted, turned and disfigured to maneuver politics, political parties, making and breaking of Prime Ministers and legally constituted Governments of Pakistan.
#PakistaniSilentMajority is a hashtag I have been using for the last few days. The simplest connotation of that hashtag is that there is an overwhelming majority of Pakistanis, voters and would be voters,who have to-date been silent spectators in the shaping of Pakistan’s destiny
In 2018,Pakistan had 106 million voters.That translates to 10 crores and 60 lac voters.A total of 51.1 % of them actually voted in 2018 for three major political parties ie PTI,PMLN and PPP plus a dozen or so smaller parties.The three major parties took approx 3.5crore votes ONLY
This actually means that about half the registered voters did not bother about what Pakistan’s destiny may be in the post elections period.For them all,me included,it was like thinking that it was the common rural Pakistanis’ job to make a Govt in Pakistan for the next five years
We are all patriotic Pakistanis.But then there are those who tend to give more of blind loyalty to one, or another,political party. To be true patriotic Pakistanis to me means that, come what may,we should think of ONLY Pakistan-above parties and leaders #PakistaniSilentMajority
#PakistaniSilentMajority accounts for the real Pakistan and it heavily outweighs all political parties put together,in numbers and power.This silent majority has so far let itself be ruled in whatever ways it has happened over the past 73 years. How long more?Its anyone’s guess
My guess is that the silent majority is presently very concerned about Pakistan’s overall well being. It is now short on patience.Prudence dictates that the rulers of today must feel Pakistan’s pulse diligently and sail Pakistan to safety before the silent majority asserts itself
