Bismillah-hir-Rahman-nir-Raheem
Aslamu-Alaikum,
On Friday May 3, 2013 the All Pakistan Muslim League lead by the former President of Pakistan General (retired) Pervez Musharraf decided to boycott the General Elections 2013.
This I do not agree with. As I've mentioned previously in the APML Musharraf Political Desk when I learnt of the boycott, I stated the following:
As I strongly believe in Islamic Democracy as envisioned for Muslim Pakistan by Qaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, I am compelled to select a new party. This is despite an honourable brother said, "You change parties like Snake changes skin! ..."
If people do not select political parties that are in the best interest of Pakistan and instead stick to the same parties regardless whether they're functioning, progressing, regressing, then political change and democracy loses it's meaning. Therefore, I want to ally myself with a new political party.
I find only Pakistan Muslim League and Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf going for the Islamic vote, encouraging Islamic Nationalism, promising an Islamic Welfare State and aspiring to come to power via democratic means.
Other parties appear to be either anti-Islamic secular parties such as Pakistan People's Party and Awami National Party or they are non-Bralevi religious parties which belong to the Jama'at-e-Wahabiya and Jama'at-e-Deobandiya groupings, all of which also work on foreign instructions and agendas.
Both Pakistan Muslim League and Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf are true in their causes and I've seen both of them do great work for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan so far. I have tested both of them and have been impressed so far.
As I'm somewhat undecided which one of the two parties to go for, I'm going to leave it to you guys to help me decide.
Whichever party gets the highest votes, I'll stick with them until next General Elections Insha'Allah.
Jazak'Allahu Khair.

Aslamu-Alaikum,
On Friday May 3, 2013 the All Pakistan Muslim League lead by the former President of Pakistan General (retired) Pervez Musharraf decided to boycott the General Elections 2013.
This I do not agree with. As I've mentioned previously in the APML Musharraf Political Desk when I learnt of the boycott, I stated the following:
"This is very disheartening for me. I am very disappointed at this news. Not happy at all.
If Nawaz Sharif's party could participate in the 2002 General Elections while their Qaid was in exile, Benazir Bhutto's party participated in the 2008 General Elections while she was in the grave and Altaf Hussain's party can function indefinitely via remote control from London, then there's no excuse for All Pakistan Muslim League to boycott the elections.
This is the last thing that I expected from President Pervez Musharraf. This is the second time he's let me down. First time by leaving the country on Sunday November 23, 2008 and second time is today.
Anyway, I am not going to hang around All Pakistan Muslim League now that they've given up and totally lost hope. You can't improve the state of a nation by standing at the sidelines of the history.
Time to change my flag."
