Listen guys, i do not like Rehman Malik and as much as i would like to enjoy (being a flawed human) seeing him insulted, the military did no such thing.
This is another spicy one from the media against someone who is not popular, both due to his incompetency and due to the nature of the problems surrounding us.
Why do you think so many brave members of our cabinet did not want to become interior minister?
It is a most difficult time and no body showed the guts to take this job...not saying that Rehman Malik was right for the job but then everybody is shirking responsibility these days...
The current opposition chose to side with Zardari against Musharraf, now they claim principles and parted ways from the government.
I mean everybody knew the things like NRO etc. would not dissolve overnight, the PML-N could have been part of the government and still worked on revoking NRO etc. but they chose to become spectators, because it is more convenient in these tough times.
They could have been part of coalition and could have worked to ensure that the key ministries entrusted to PML-N became so good that the nation had no more doubts about their sincerity...they could have been more influential in government decisions regarding all the matters since they were given finance ministry ...yet they chose to give up all of this so that any blame of failure rests on PPP...they conveniently forgot that we had a good economic run with Musharraf and it was all these parties which raised hue and cry and rallied together to oust Musharraf and end his tenure...they cited the situation as unacceptable for national security and unity...has it become all better?
I may sound too idealistic but did the situation not merit that the two major parties remain allied and in government, if only to guide the nation out of troubled waters?
When all the people abandon their posts, then the one who stands for whatever reason is not entirely to blame...blame is shared by the deserters as well...
GHQ has recently suffered a terrorist attack and at the same time the military high command has initiated another most difficult offensive in Waziristan, do you think the military planners have time to actually attend a press conference with Mr. Rehman Malik?
They sent him an escort of a 1 star general and he got to lay the wreaths at the site marking the martyrdom of our brave soldiers, laying flowers on the grave of a martyr is the intent since it is in itself an honor to pay your respect to those who take a bullet for your country.
Most of the time our media is hellbent on creating a political imbalance by being critical of government alone, maybe the media is being urged on by our opposition parties in this which is quite sad to see.
I would like to see our media also openly criticize the impotent behavior shown by our opposition in face of the crisis we face.
What nation building role are these opposition parties playing?
At a time which is critical in our history i see an attitude where many influential politicians are not playing their role because they are in opposition, how easy it is to be in opposition at this time...
Yesterday one great political hypocrite Khwaja Saad Rafiq of PML-N gave a beautiful statement that the country can be run without any loans, what a purely nonsense statement...did PML-N not put the country under severe economic crisis in past?
Did they not take heavy loans from all and sundry?
I voted for these guys and gave them money for their grand scheme of paying off Pakistan's debt, they failed to do so and the money really vanished...so many Pakistani's gave a lot of money and yet what happened?
It is not like anybody has a clean record so we should be 100% objective in our criticism, we may not like the government but we have to acknowledge that it has very little in way of options...
No body has stopped the nation of protesting if it does not like any of the government's policies, we did get the CJ restored...we do posses power if we think we need to exercise it.
I do not like Rehman Malik and want him removed, if the same is felt by all and opposition, it is time they protest. This is allowed in democracy and should be exercised.
Right now the government represents Pakistan and believe me it pains me to see some of those in this current government... but the fact is that it is an elected government, next time vote for someone else...if the process is repeated for 2 decades we shall have some form of order...
The Army has really been professional and has been strictly following its scope of work in past few years, this is something very good and we should hope this remains so.
wow more masala by media and you are adding your own spices.
