Imran finally speaks up!
Analysis.
Imran Khan finally spoke on the issue of GEO, a Seth owned private TV channel, bashing the National Defense institutions and he spoke hard not only condemning GEO for its frontal attacks against ISI and Army, wondering if even Indian channels had done something comparable. But more importantly he raised the issue of funding.
Imran finally spoke is good! but one wonders why it takes Imran & PTI so much time to analyze fast developing political situations. One can understand that Imran - given allegations of supporting Musharraf and then allegations of getting support from Pasha in 2010 - may have reservations when it comes to issues related to military. He would not like to take the blame of supporting military against Nawaz Govt. Similar are the genuine concerns of so many civil libertarians. But they are wrong; politics keeps changing; different situations demand different strategies to defend the core principles; and the core principle in present Pakistan is to prevent alliances that threaten the balance of power.
We don't need a single party so strong that civil liberties, media freedoms and independent judiciary are threatened. Nawaz govt is continuously trying to create a 'subdued/controlled military' that can give them more power over everyone inside the political system. This is the game. That is why the alliance between PM Nawaz & private TV tycoon - Mir Shakil ur Rehman - against the military is a bigger threat to democracy and civil liberties and independence of judiciary. And we don't know who is operating through Mir Shakil ur Rehman, do we?
If Imran & PTI had taken this strong public position last Sunday then Military would not have the need or the option to rush to ISI's aid in a public way. This would have been better for Pakistani democracy. But now hopefully Imran Khan and PTI will be able to keep a watch on what is unfolding. This is pure political battle and Opposition's role is to keep a critical watch over government's actions and Imran & PTI are often slow in offering that robust opposition. If they continued to dither, remain confused, kept on taking weeks to react then gradually they will forfeit their political significance. The quicker PTI wallas understand the better it is for everyone and for Pakistan! -
