The "Establishment" or whatever you want to call it has overarching control over all of the government institutions. Many of the current problems are the effect of certain actions, these actions caused what is Right now Pakistan's internal problems. Foreign Influence's just took advantage of what was already brewing inside the country.
I am sick and tired of problems caused by us ,as some foreign conspiracy the problems were already there they just doused the small kindle with barrels and barrels of oil.
Somehow if you say something against the establishment on this forum people will start saying you are paid , agent of raw and Mossad and all sorts of crap. There are genuine greivences in Balochistan and FATA with the establishment. IDK why people get insecure with it. They think Pakistan is scandianavia utopia where the establishment has done no wrong
This calling people agents is not new and it's never getting old. Ayub Khan was a dictator and traitor general, he and the few before him trampled on Jinnah's ideals for a democratic Islamic republic, and then this traitor had the nerve and gall to call madr-e-millat Fatima Jinnah an Indian agent when she became the face of resistance.
It's unfortunate that this deitisation, as well as legal and moral impunity, has been successfully cultivated in the minds of the polity in defense of the establishment. They're not worthy of any serious criticism, and any criticism lodged their way is discredited as an external attack by anti-state elements, dissenting thought is automatically illegitimised.
I would ask the people on this thread to come to Karachi and ask how many innocent boys were killed in 1992 on the suspicion of being from MQM. Bara asaan hota hai ghaddar ka laqab dena. And we Muhajirs will always have to live with this taunt of being traitors and RAW agents now, regardless of whether we support MQM or not.
That's why I am wary of painting every Baloch as a RAW agent. These are our own people. If some of them turned to foreign agencies it means we failed them that they felt the need to seek external help. We still have not learnt anything from 1971. The Bengalis weren't traitors. We made them into one.
Some tribals are alleging the same things today too. No doubt there was an insurgency there, and families have had people who were neutral, some who were involved in militancy, and some pro-government, but they have serious grievances that people aren't aware of. When I speak about what I've heard directly from Tribals, I get called some sort of Pashtun nationalist or some PTM member. Heck, when hearing from tribals, I was initially dismissive of their views, I thought it couldn't possibly be the case, but then I heard them again multiple times, from multiple sources in multiple areas.
Army operations anywhere leave collateral damage, and they have other unintended consequences, that is because by their nature they are employed in wars, whereas here they do the job of policing and they do it at the behest of people who've truly learnt nothing from our history. Whether it was Op searchlight in 1971, or Balochistan operations in the 1970s and today, whether it was Karachi in 1992, or FATA in recent years. Army operations have led to allegations of abuse of power, kidnappings and killings, issues regarding long terms deployment and disruption of lives.
And instead of dealing reasonably and intelligently with issues raised, all we see is knee-jerk distrust, people who speak up get dismissed as sympathizers of militants, anti-state etc. Completely counterproductive.
