Excellent piece, Abbas. Indeed, if the Makers of Peace with India who conjured up the nonsensical 'DawnLeaks' when an elected PM wanted the same (and helped in his sacking on more nonsensical charges), really want the country to come together they should 1) immediately lift 2/
2/ the umbrella they hold over this #Shitshow and let democracy and fair electoral politics work; 2) forswear any role in politics and publicly promise to stay within the confines the Constitution in future; 3) put a halter on their mindless and foolish propagandists 3/
3/ such as @GenAmjadShuaib and @abasitpak1 who daily abuse political leaders on their fancy YouTube channels; 4) send a clear signal to the Judiciary that there will be no more #WhatsApp messages suggesting names of ISI and MI officers for JITs formed to investigate political 4/
4) leaders. P.S. Who knows better than THEM the lows this #Shitshow has brought the country to: E.g., A 5.8% Growth Rate, dragged down to -0.4! E.g., Pakistan today finding itself friendless in the World due to ineptness and sloth and plain stupidity!
5/ P.P.S. And another thing: Now that those that saw him out of office for what they are themselves now espousing, why not a sincere apology to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif? There is no shame in apologising. All big men throughout history have apologised and come away the better!
Does 'a salaried employee' of govt. also have the right and the obligation to challenge an Army dictator, Zafar? Or does he shit his pants at the mere thought. Basit is a rat who even stabbed his colleague of 35 years in the back. As you do routinely. You didn't even spare BB 2/
2/ while working for her in her second coming. So did the present lot commit 'treason' by first getting caught fast asleep when Modi annexed Kashmir and now suing for peace with India using the same language as PM Nawaz Sharif? Indeed, did Mushy commit treason by stabbing NS 3/
3/ in the back by launching the idiotic Kargil misadventure and destroying any chance of peace with India after Atal Bihari VajpayeeJi visited Lahore?
The present Senate 'Opposition' must be the ONLY opposition in the whole wide World that is partly made up of treasury members😅A most unique Opposition😄!Seriously, we routinely make complete idiots of ourselves before the World! YRG has made a huge mistake accepting this 'job'.
2/ He has been a most successful politician: from Zia's Majlis e Shoora to a Minister to the PPP to Speaker of the NA to Prime Minister. What made him become Leader of the Opposition with the help of 4 Treasury Senators, ditching the PMLN that had helped him get into the Senate3/
3/ in the first place? What made him petition Sanjrani to appoint him Leader of the Opposition in the Senate? What made him say 'I will take the Opposition along with me'? Is he not PART of the 'Opposition'? Seriously, my friends and I thought he had some Old World 4/
It will only end with many more spankings as administered by Secretary Blinken recently/when the country runs out of money to pay these #TerroristYahoos!! 2/
3/ But remember, our #DeepState is not only Mendacious and Corrupt, it is also completely and mindlessly heartless, stupid and #Dheet. Look at the TTP which beheaded our soldiers and played football with their severed heads; killed thousands of our soldiers including a 4/
If we are to survive, and to improve to become a civilised nation, NEVER forget this, my friends/Civil Society. NEVER forget that the man who now touts 'fixing our own home' today is the same man who revolted against an elected PM and government who said EXACTLY this 5 years ago!
2/ AND in a compact with the Judiciary saw him hounded out of office on one pretext or the other, including the crappy 'Panama Leaks'. Indeed, let us ask @OfficialDGISPR and include @MarianaBaabar and @NasimZehra who write on Pakistan's Security so often: If the undisputed 3/
3/ Ruler of Pakistan, General Bajwa is sincere about changing our country's direction (or, in the wise words of Ambassador @CameronMunter it is high time that Pakistan 'Re-invented' itself a project that I have been suggesting for well on 30 years now, and was called a 4/
@iamthedrifter As is said in Punjabi: Pego, pego kay juttian!~! @JehangirJm@MarianaBaabar@NasimZehra Didn't Nawaz Sharif say exactly this not only 5 years ago but even earlier. Indeed didn't BB say this also in 1988 when she was labelled a RAW agent?! Poor, poor Pakistan! 2/
2/ Didn't Rajiv Gandhi visit Islamabad when the two PM's promised to de-escalate on Siachen and the great Vai Ell did the cartoon showing a Hindu priest and a Mullah in the background and the two PM's in front saying to each other, 'Let us leave them BEHIND and climb the 3/
3/ mountain? But BB was again branded a 'Security Risk' by none other than Ch. Ghulam Hussain in his English rag he used to bring out of Gulberg Main Market! P.S. Vai Ell brought the cartoon to me at 6 AM to hand over to the Indian PM whose flight was departing at 9 A.M.!
@KlasraRauf@ZahidGishkori My dear Klasra Sahib, Just now saw you programme on Justice Qazi Faez Isa and have come away most disappointed. 1) Surely you know EXACTLY why he is being dragged through the mud? 2) Surely you know that this pathetic excuse of a #Selected 'Govt' has 2/
2/ treated the Judge shamefully by, say, pasting a notice from the FBR on the gate of his house in Judge's colony? Surely you know that people like Shahzad Akbar have been rude and discourteous about him publicly? As to Nawaz Sharif and Family I am afraid you delivered an 3/
3/ unkind cut by saying they always need a 'Judge' to overturn their sentences! I find it curious that you did not mention the terrible language used by Saqib Nisar and Khosa about Nawaz Sharif. Neither did you mention the fact that #Selectednikka@ImranKhanPTI was deemed 4/
