The circus lion: Mr.Sharif and co (part 01).

[Slav Defence]

Written by: Slav defence

Another rough day has brought jinx of despair for Mr.Sharif.It appears as the days of Mr.Sharif's regime are numbered-
So,who should be blamed for current anarchy? Mr.Khan who wanted to make new Pakistan so that he could 'get married' or Mr.Tahir ul Qadri who chants 'V' for 'Vendetta?'
Let us recall the players of this political chess game:
1)The Sharif brothers:

Elected as third time the prime minister of Pakistan due to massive rigging as claimed by Mr.Khan.It was definitely expected that Mr.Sharif would be experienced in playing politics and handling such flare. However, his recent attitude reflected lack of maturity and sensibility in handling politics.
The model town scenario and mishandling PTI is enough said.
2)Imran Khan:
Ex- cricketer of Pakistan and novice elected minister of KPK was desperate and awaited anxiously for this time to come.Mr.Khan has tried all legal and lawful ways to prove rigging and fraud done so far,but PML-N's mishandling has given him a chance finally to react vigorously!

3)Dr.Tahir ul Qadri:
Connoisseur in manipulation of words and playing with emotions,but justified this time for sure.Mr.Qadri's followers which are martyred in model Town tragedy are true victims and unluckiest souls. However,their bad luck has brought 'goodness' for Mr.Qadri's political career

.
4)MQM:
MQM has really played well in this scenario. It appears as MQM has got good 'gut feeling' as well as luck since they seem to co-relate events successfully.
MQM's sudden support to PAT after such pressure reflects that they have sat correct angle in analyzing events/sources.
5)GHQ:

Pakistan is left with only two most powerful political figures: Asif Ali Zardari and Mr.Nawaz Sharif which enjoy deep influence within Pakistani sectors.In order to break/diminish their political power/sources,it is necessary to strengthen and create existing/new political parties and to break their hegemony.So,according to conspiracy theorists GHQ and PML-N are not enjoying good relationship as a result of which GHQ either intended to pressurize them to keep them in control or simply remain neutral and intended to focus on operation zarb e azb.
So,it is clear that everyone has set their own objectives.However,Mr.Sharif's own mishandling, stupidity and complete immaturity has given them chance to extract and juice out their huge demands. I wonder that how long this drama will continue and when it will end?and most prominently:'what will be the end?'

The tables didn't turn over itself,Mr.Sharif has created this labyrinth on his own

So do you want to update your thoughts given what has happened since the OP?

Buy yourself some body armor. (Sincere advice)

1.In spite of bold lectures in parliament, there are differences appearing in the ranks of the ruling party.
2. Kaptan stands establishing for democracy.Maulana Kenada is for physical occupation of power centers.An op with two Aims/Missions cannot succeed.
3. Popular revolutions are not conducted through air-con containers. Ho Chi Minh, Chairman Mao, Lenin, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, etc are/were revolutionaries. Others like Ayatullah Khomeni or Mulla Omar came through seminaries.None was born with a silver spoon going to Aitcheson and Oxford. All struggled and fought. De-classing oneself to lead a populist revolution ain't easy.

Yes,I should be buying one since I have complains with every player playing politics in Pakistan. Horus my bro,it hurts me too but I am not seeing white anywhere. I am loosing hope with every single player playing politics-all of them are hopeless.
Currently,all these three major player do need to get security for themselves whether it is Mr.Khan,Mr.Qadri or NS as all seem blood thirsty of each other while women &children suffering the most.

Maulana Canada?
I totally agree with you Sir, I myself am not seeing any revolution either. I consider NS responsible for all this mess.I also believe that NS should resign and stop sucking our blood.I know that this is fruitless since no one is ready to compromise and they are not even left with any reason to do so.I hope that soon things return back to normal.

Analyze the social forces in Pakistan. The rulers, whether they by political or military, represent the interests of the industrial-feudal conclave. This conclave will not be comfortable if a populist take-over takes place under Kaptan and Mullah Keneda. The conclave is watching Nawaz if he can wade through. If he falters they will go to the other pillar, the military. Military and civil bureaucracy have rarely welcomed populists.

Most shameful fact is that our political establishment is dragging military unnecessarily.I personally believe that military wants to focus upon ops against militants but our civil regime has shamefully tried to drag them into this mess & also attempted to defame them.Their cheap mentality is not realizing that military is sector of high reputation and somehow represent our country. Any notable event against military will give foreign media a chance to malign & defame them but it is hopeless,sir.The other side of coin of GHQ is a conspiracy theory of some & I have mentioned it already.

The "other side of the coin", as you call it, is actually more believable, given the evidence, Sir.

That is why I have included it as well,so that we could draw a useful conclusion behind the scene.
1.If our corrupted civil regime is really victim(I find it impossible) and this game is being played by GHQ to diminish their tentacles then how it can be deal sensibly.
2.If army is victim and civil regime is trying to throw shit at them in order to hide their blunders & mismanagement then how this can be deal sensibly?

So our first task is to determine the victim in this scenario.
Our second task is to prepare strategy in order to avoid collapse b/w them.

The easiest part to identify is the victim: It is the State and people of Pakistan.

The civil government and the GHQ are power players in a tussle. Sandian dee larai tey putya javey ghaa.

I have been following the political circus that has been going on for about 3 weeks. I am totally a-political with no personal affiliations of any kind. My interest here is as a Pakistani only.

In the absence of article 58 (2-B), sitting Prime Minister can only be removed thru a motion of No Confidence. It is unconstitutional to lay siege to an incumbent government by bringing 20 to 30 thousand people and ask the PM to resign. In this I totally agreement with Aitzaz Ahsan that this would set a very bad precedent.

PML-N was not in power in the centre and the elections were held under a care-taker government,therefore it is not rational to target Nawaz Sharif as if was he who carried out the electoral rigging. Root cause of this problem is the basic contention by PTI that there was institutionalised rigging in the 2013 elections. Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry in cohorts with the Returning Officers conspired to steal PTI’s mandate.

Wouldn’t it be simpler if a Judicial Commission is set up under the current Chief Justice in whom Imran Khan has shown full confidence to investigate this allegation? If the findings conclusively prove that institutional rigging took place & the quantum of rigging was so large that had it not taken place, PTI would have been the largest political party in Pakistan; there would be no need for ‘Dharna’ as I am sure all opposition parties will unite with PTI and call for fresh elections.

However, such an inquiry would take at least 6 months; certainly not a month. Also because PTI has hardly any vote bank in Baluchistan and only with the ‘Burger’ crowd in Karachi; there is no guarantee that Judicial Commission’s verdict would go in Imran Khan’s favour. Imran Khan is showing intransigence which IMO is highly presumptuous and childish to say the least.

Dr Tahirul Qadri is an extremely well read Islamic scholar and I have been greatly impressed by many of his speeches on religious matters. However, what he is preaching is ‘Chaos’. I am not in favour of anarchy and would prefer order to chaos any day. I am afraid he is pursuing a lost cause.

IK has been accusing NS of rigging........ Can anyone help me understand this?

1) How exactly the rigging happened (in the accusation)
2) How NS manage to do that, since he was in opposition and the previous government was run by PPP
3) If rigging has happened as accused, and if agencies are refusing to find, why cant IK go to supreme court?

 

[niaz]

Imran Khan is alleging that rigging took place by the Returning Officers misreporting the votes cast. For example let us say that in actual fact PTI got 30,000 votes & PML-N got 20,000 votes. Returning Officers destroyed 5,000 votes cast for PTI; took 10,000 blank ballot papers , ticked against the PML-N candidate, put their stamp on it and presented as the genuine vote. Thus PML-N candidate was shown with 30,000 votes with PTI coming second with 25,000. Hence PTI’s mandate was stolen.

Returning Officers were mainly members of the lower Judiciary; that is why Imran Khan is also naming Ifitkhar Chaudhry who being the Chief Justice at the time was boss of the Judiciary.

Elections were held under the caretaker gov't, PTI has also accused Najam Sethi, care taker Chief Minister of Punjab during the elections. Nawaz Sharif's involvement is indirect. Because he is the beneficiary, therefore must have been the one pulling the strings.

So,overall can we conclude that Mr.Sharif has made huge blunders and provided them chance to cause mayhem?or you concur with that?yes,I do agree that what Mr.Khan doing so far is wrong-I assume that in case of failure, he may end up with his political career. However,I do believe as stated earlier that Mr.Sharif has given them chance by making huge blunders & I am again repeating same.
