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.
I think Pakistan has gone through so much over the past 73 years that the #PakistaniSilentMajority is also fed up of its now criminal silence. I say criminal because that silence and not voting in future,on their part, is going to harm Pakistan in a big way.
Let me warn the Opposition ie PMLN,PPP et all that they better watch their step. Should this Opposition allow the Govt to pass retrogressive and repressive laws they will be committing political suicide and in the next elections will find themselves bereft of political support
Govt too should be wary.There is nothing permanent in their current standing as the Govt of Pakistan.Things can change overnight and they can find themselves on the receiving end of all retrogressive laws they may now want to pass for their short term ends. CAUTION:- Don’t do it
