^^What polls are you talking about?
I never heard of any such referendum!
I can never believe that Zardari is democratic enough to respect any such referendum.
Views of news papers are not divine verses and don't you get upset when every day a new candidate comes forward and you have to post more or less same text again just with a change of name.
Did your brain work beyond news that how unfair PPP is that they will choose PM not on merits!
Principally, they should look who have the highest qualification and who have the capacity to serve in capacity of CEO.
You can find many soft spoken in Pakistan, does this mean that they all have prospects to become PM.
If BB have declared him his deputy than why did she not appointed him in her dictatorial will?
Ahmed Mukhtar is already a CEO of a multinational local company and have some experience of organizational structure, where as Amin Fahim is a product of wadayra and wadayri culture.
Man does not have courage enough to ask for his right for party leadership, where seniority may matter most.
I think you have interpertuted my statment the wrong way or maybe I didn't make myself clear well in any case I will try to clear up the misunderstanding now.
As far as the Prime Minister job is concerned I stand by that statment that Fahim should be made the Prime Minister. Now when I said polls I was talking about the polls that the media conducts, I think 75% of the people wanted Fahim to be Prime Minister. Now again I personally dont believe these polls, but speaking fom personal experience I get the feeling that most Pakistanis around me also want him to be Prime Minister.
Now you made a good point that every day the headline is the same but the names have changed. With all due respect the names have not changed much because these politicians have been around for the past 60 years, its like they have inheriated their seat and the seat will probably be passed on to their heirs, something that I am totally against.
When I said Benazir's deputy is Fahim again I stand by it he is in fact the most senior leader of the party and again like I said Benazir did kind of endorse him for the Prime Minister's job. For example because as of now their is a ban on the third time Prime Ministership, Benazir said Fahim would be the Prime Minister until the law is changed so that she can be the Prime Minister. As far as her will is concerned, I personally believe their is no will and whatever will we have in front of us was written by Zaradari(This is just my personal opinion other people might differ). I personally think Zaradari doesn;t wan Fahim to be the Prime Minister because honestly he commands more respect then him in the party and also with the people.
Now let us get to qualifications. As I have made it clear we have political dynasties where seats are inheriated. Now the reason I consider Fahim as most qualified is because, first of all the PPP must choose the candidate. Now in the PPP he is no doubt the most senior leader who has been with the party a long time. One thing I dont like about Fahim is that like you said he is part of the waydara culture, he is a PPP mamber(people should note that I personally dont like the PPP), he is a big zamindar and also his sister is married to the Koran. The point you made about him having the courage is a good point. But you should remember that for example when the captain of a cricket team is chosen they dont ask for it they are given that role. The reason is if he does ask for it people would loose respect for him, but I think he is such a senior member of the party that he should ask for it.
Now these are the ground realities, now if i had it my way my candidates for the Prime Ministership would be Shukat Aziz, Mullana Fazullar Rehman, Aftandyar Wali Khan, Ameen Fahim or someone from Balushistan.
Shukat Aziz-We dont need to say much about him. He is in my opinion an honest man and in the long run he will be given credit for turning around Pakistan's economy. Right now our economy needs people like him, when he spoke people listen because he was known internationally.
Fazullar Rehman-Most people would not agree with me and I know by saying his name many people on this forum will accusing me of being an extermists but just hear me out. The reason I say his name is because he infact does has links to extermists. We can use this link to help us fighting terrorism. We must remember the real extermist is Qazi Ahmed Hussain. When Lal Masjid incident took place this man was the one running all over Islamabad trying to defuse the tension and in fact he was the first to condemm the Rasheed brothers. We saw him conducting a Jirga with the Mehsud tribe after which fighting stopped in the region. Please dont hold this against me.
Aftandiyar Wali-He is the grandson of Dr. Khan Sahib who refused to salute the Pakistani flag and stood for Pustun nationalism. The reason I say his name is because again like the Mulana he has link and can be useful in rooting out extermist and believe I really dont like him because of his nationists ideas but for the sake of Pakistan I am willing to put that aside.
Fahim- I will not discuss in detials because we already have and the reason I say his name first of all his party has a majority and he is the most qualified in my opinion out of all of his party members. Another reaosn is with the killing of Benazir, people in Sindh feel this was a conspiricy against the Sindhi people and their passion are high right now we must give them some power so they feel infact they are not being neglected. Right now in Sindh the chant is PAKISTAN NA KHAPA meaing we dont want Pakistan, we must make them feel that they are Pakistanis and the chant should be PAKISTAN KHAPA meaning we want Pakistan.
Someone from Baluchistan-I think may be Jamali can be brought back. The reason is the same as Sindh, that people feel neglected and we must give them power and also they can help us negotiate with the Baluch nationist groups.
If you guys look at the list above I have either given a nationalist leader and leaders who have infact inheriated their seats. Who ever the next leader of Pakistan is we must mend all differences. People want to divide us but we must be smarter then that, we have given alot of sacrifices for our freedom and we cant let them go to waste. We saw those sacrifices go to waste in 1971 and please I beg all of you to stop this from happening again. Let us put aside all of our differences and for once think for the sake of Pakistan, where our children will live. What will we tell our chiildren that as the country was going to the dogs we stood by and watched. We cant let this question be asked by our kids, we must do something now for Pakistan. When I die I dont want god to say I gave you Pakistan and what did you do for it, you split it in two. People like Laiquat Ali, Quaid, Allama, the leaders of our Independence movement the Saheeds who died for Pakistan, the soldier who gaurd Pakistan will ask me what did you do for Pakistan? For gods sake whatever is remaining of Pakistan let it be, lets make it stronger.
Note this is my personal view and I doubt that most people agree with me infact most people will disagree with me. Please these are my opinions other people have theirs and we must learn to accept them be more tolerant because I think what we really need right now is tollerance.
PAKISTAN ALWAYS ZINDABAD!
