Butt tell me you are not a supporter of Tahirul Qadri ? I was in Lahore when the Jalsa happened. I'm sure you saw how much money was spent on posters and 'renting the crowd'. If you are not a supporter of him, would you agree with me that he is somehow supported by the same establishment that had meddled previously? It gets even more obvious when he comes in randomly in support for caretaker government. Don't you think ?
I'm not a supporter of Tahirul Qadri !
I might have a soft spot for PML N because they are 'petty thieves' where as PPP is infested by 'seasoned robbers' but its PTI for me !
Nah I don't think the Army did that because it would serve no interest to them ! The Army, as I understand it, knows that there is a consensus in Pakistan that 'democracy' is the only way forward & there is no getting around this fact; no matter how inept, corrupt & stupid politicians may be the evolutionary process must be gone through. The Army, I would imagine, agrees with this too & doesn't want to continue on to be the scapegoat of every ill that has ever befallen the country as these politicians have a habit of doing so. Besides the Army is more preoccupied with the Afghan Theater, Balochistan & India's posturing to even give governance a chance again not even indirectly. In fact one of their grievances, as I understood it to be, was that when Army Operations were made in areas as far flung as Bajaur or Dera Bugti.....where the heck was the civilian apparatus to move in & take it up from there; why is the Army & the FC required to do the fighting & then the rebuilding & development work in those areas when it is not in their purview !
To that end I think the Army would be interested in a Government that comes in & tries to tackle these issues but still gives a significant degree of autonomy to the Armed Forces to formulate Pakistan's foreign policy with respect to Afghanistan, India & the United States for now ! This by the way is exactly how it happens the world over even if our army's role is both more pronounced & more talked about.
I would imagine that the Army knows that a derailment of the Democratic Process would be both :
(a) publicly unacceptable
(b) they'd be stuck with the same corrupt to the core idiots who are more a nuisance then something that can be brushed aside with nonchalance.
Besides everyone knows that, even though Pakistanis would listen to religious clerics & the sort, they'd never vote them in to even form an opposition with a dignified number of seats; religion in the political sphere just doesn't sell especially from the mouth of a cleric ! They're all hypocrites of the highest order & we know that.
That brings in question how was he able to come up with the finances to plaster half the country with his posters ?
Well because of the lack of evidence one really can't say anything but its not the 'establishment' but 'foreign funding' has been hypothesized that there are some quarters that would want the status quo to remain till 2014 so that new faces are not needed to be dealt with & the problems & complexities that that poses not needed to tackled with !
How of this is truthful, how much is pure conjecture, is all up for grabs !
