He loves Me / He Loves Met NOT..!! Graduate or NOT a Graduate..!!

And why should our revered elite be educated..?? When, allegedly, our Father of the nation, Jinnah was a non-graduate, then why should we be..?? And why should be lament the pressures of studies and lynching of our teachers..?

And why shouldn’t we be using booties to make a safer exit and an entry in to the assemblies..? Honestly speaking, has there been any connect with what we cram over and over again with what we have to face in the wide wide world..?? Ever..??

And then Einstein was a drop out, his nation then dropped the Atom Bomb. Bill Gates, another abhorred, and disliked by ladies stuff, but world’s experience brought him divine respect and fame. Steve Jobs or Mr. IPhone, was another varsity failure and gave the world a world in their palms.

So, with this imperative and chemistry, drop outs achieve out of this world ideas. Impossible in schools are possible in the wide world of the school. QED.??

In that case, Wazeer e Aala Ka Khaab, Parha Likha Punjab (Chief Minister’s Dream, Literate Punjab, (doesn’t sound poetic in English, it neved did, Shakespeare was just another Media’s Shilpa Shetty and Sania Shoaib like character and historians call it renaissance..!! )..), then every resident of Punjab is a born scientist..!! WOW..!!

If Jinnah wasn’t graduate, so isn’t Zardari. So are we correct to assume we shall see a new Pakistan soon..?? err..Geographically or hypothetically..?? As anything outside the Assemblies rides on paper boats destined to be flushed down the already choked sewers and Monsoon’s already approaching. Don’t save any water please, as a bit of relief to Pakistanis and they achieve much. They achieved the BOMB in sullen peace, so keep them moving, keep them scattered but never keep them thinking. If they start thinking, you lose.  Chaudhary Iftikhar didn’t think, he denied. And you see the ruckus Mr. Musharraf..??

Many theories have been afloat to emancipate the nation, but only and only NON GRADUATES carry the torch. Believe me, Chaudhary Iftikhar Sahab, if all the NON GRADUATES are kicked out to UK, Spain, to the Bosphorus, the States (but since when States allowed political gurus to take refuge in exile in her land..? No traitor was great enough to secure a flat, after the sun of rule set and blurred their fates.), then who stays back to run the affairs..? Mr. Justice, the Graduates of our country are made to run the mills and wheels of Western economies and not ours. The remaining have to endure heat, corruption, inflation, filthy politics and what else graduates have to do..?

Jinnah knew the fact, so he got away with it without a degree but something quite valuable instead. So guys, go for something valuable, a piece of paper or a piece of land..? You decide.

So NON GRADUATES are the grease of our machinations. Imran Khan is a graduate, his mistake. NON GRADUATES and Dasti NON GRADUATES are the answer to the problems of the world. Its not the terrorists, they are GRADUATES too..!!

Emergency & 9th November and Beyond

6 days since the promulgation of the emergency. Media, most of it is under the locks, but no public turmoil seems to be outpouring against it save GEO news, which was and still is quite vocal for the emergency that seems only existing on GEO. The public response, particularly, the business community welcomed the move. Ironic. The business community cannot be bought overnight, but how come the community sides with the General?

Seeing this trend, the trend of serenity of an issue which was taken up quite seriously, where some of the EU countries and only 1 from the Far East, ‘Japan’, have upped the pressure through their usual threatening tones of banning Pakistan their aid and ending her tumultuous and tiring marriage with Common Wealth.

Now, with the expected protest call given by the Bibi jee, which was efficiently foiled yet again, which reflects management from Punjab’s side which is going strong and also non callous response of the public, situation at the ground level seems normal and life is going as it is. No restlessness, as planned and tried-to-be-instigated was visible. The conspirators and think tanks which see in Benazir the opening up of the nuclear assets and handing over the Doctor over the US, she already has proved the very political behaviour to devour Pakistan by providing the lists of the Sikh freedom fighters back in the early 90’s to buy the Prime Minister’s post, the treacherous way to which goes through many deals and White House, want her to be on the forefront and vocal about her position. The sheep of Pakistan a.k.a the Public, are short sighted and have loss of memory; even so, many might not be able to recall the former name of Faisalabad. With such mindset, democracy is another game to bank on the monetary reserves which saw the graph rising though gradually.

Now with elements gaining strength in Swat valley, situation there is still not being taken to note by the military. If it does, the fate would same as Bugti and Lal Masjid. Period.

With the current situation, in the NWFP, race is on for the future stakeholder of Pakistan between 2 contenders, Bibi and Military; latter being in the power, Bibi stresses interim government to oversee transparent elections which wouldn’t be possible under the current regime which would influence the elections in February to be swayed in their favour to keep the Bibi out. Possible, perhaps.

Emergency could be a herald, to gain time for more homework as pressure mounts with each passing day. The present Government, till now managed, with the plethora of projects being completed in more of a rush than calculated to woo more of voters who seldom have voted for any of these advocates of democracy carrying tainted history and democracy.

What is to Come?

Now with the facts available; no public outpour on emergency, Government now showing lax to allow some media channels which are screaming at the top pitch in futile reflecting their biased opinion and propaganda rich purposes to derail the Government. The conspirators would resort to some tactic to see the Government on its toes and doldrums. What could that move be? More of attacks? Possible. More of unrest in NWFP? Perhaps. Free hand to the militants in Swat who aren’t Taliban as realities confirm them to be Uzbeks; Ahmed Shah Masood too had an Uzbek background and also had Indian support and enjoyed public relations with the latter. The militancy would then be geared up at the border; foreign pressure would mount on the military. But they too wouldn’t be sitting without a plan. Maps would have been drawn by now, strategies chalked out, locals would have been invited for more rigorous support in return of peace and tranquility and control.

Much is to be seen, coming weeks are crucial for Pakistan.

The upcoming long march (between 15 and 18th of November) in protest of emergency would again be taken with an iron fist as precedented and wouldn’t show any promise but would keep investors on the wary, still. But politicians cooing while pigeonholed, would at least have something to exhibit that they too form the part of the game and that they shouldn’t be stashed out from deck of options the foreign lobbies have before them. But politicians too would be shown the exit this 15th which justifies the long march to justify their political ‘existence’ or be left out, simple.

Let’s wait and watch, how the stars form and the term in the Wild Wild West too coming to its ebb of end, things would change a bit quickly. Possible perhaps.

Emergency – Another Covert Musharraf and Iftikhar Partnership in the Making

With the headlines already made since this evening. Pakistan has yet another time been put into a coma, although a short one this time. So much already said and more done than said. Let’s read between the lines as to what has caused this ruckus which caught most of us with surprise.

9th March is appropriate to start with. Or a little earlier than this; before this day, Rule of Law was not respected. Musharraf played a card, Chaudhary Iftikhar was mishandled and dismissed on puny charges, if such charges are taken in seriously, then many of the coterie of the present and earlier governments would have to seek self-exile and that too British sponsored. After the 9th, the public of Pakistan was given a new life. Although the form in 1947 but the spirit waited. The West stresses on the restoration of Democracy; but what has Democracy evolved for the people of Pakistan? Nothing but princely mansions never to be seen and questioned by the Pakistani citizen. Now after the respect was exposed; the respect of the Supreme Court and rule of Law, if noticed no democratic was that vocal for it. Why? They knew that if legislation, courts, Chief Justice are introduced as upholding rule of law, the heydays of usurping the public tax – money would be history. This was unacceptable. For this very conspiring notion of corruption, Jinnah was put to rest earlier. If the constitution and rule of Law awakes, black and white business sees the door. Musharraf tried this with the black garb of the political ascetic. But alas, the People of Pakistan can digest those who rob them of their pennies and build their mansions and factories.

So now, with the emergency in place, another pawn, another development. The Government’s anti-petition was under hearing and the Government knew it that it had lost ground. Now upcoming is the 18th of November when the President had to take oath as the President for the next 5 years and colluding was the Swat encounter which has geared up unanticipatingly; kudos to the Indian consulate in Jalalabad, which is overseeing terrorist activities in and around the NWFP and Baluchistan. Pakistan has to take note of this.

Under a very planned scheme, the Pakistan Military has been framed into this. Once it is made to believe by the people that Pakistan Military is against the very own people, the ground to act gets more stressed and limited and options do get lesser. Not to mention the Indian hand is very much active here. Nobody ever heard of Maulana Fazlullah, who camps alongside the border where he might be getting assistance from the Indian Consultate. Everone’s speaking of the Taliban here and there, but what about unseen forces which are out to bring ill-repute to the Pakistan Military. Then the unabated and uninformed American bombing is yet another cause of disrespect gaining against the Pakistan Military.

A well conceived notion is being imbibed into the common people against the Pakistan Military. Seeing this and the recent development going in behind and inside the books of law, a.k.a Chaudhary Iftikhar considering the legitimacy of Musharraf holding double oaths. Musharraf had to confront the two way road. Either the legal and legislative route or the one which allows more intensive decisive actions on such elements.

Not to mention, the Lal Masjid issue was leniently dealt with in its infancy. But where did from the weapons land in the Madrassah? Indian hand? Foreign financing? Probably, possibly. Indian elements with the connivance of Afghan compatriots and US dollars, much magic is going unnoticed.

Now with the emergency in place, Musharraf has options to sweep out such elements. But the initiators of rogue upsurge are themselves the holders of constitutional democracy. Musharraf would have to consider the ‘loss’ of such elements to consider the welfare of the State.

Nonetheless, what can be pre-maturely assessed, is that the President and the Chief of Army Staff had an intensive discourse with other of his comrades. The decision to eliminate the elements working in and out of Pakistan to destabilise it would have been reached and this ‘Emergency’ is the first card played.

Nonetheless, this emergency was mandatory. As the public now again, blindly stood up for the lady, who previously doesn’t have a nice track record. Proven but the public is just a herd of sheep which offers its leather for purses which hold the money but never bringing back the sheep, ever, life. Moreover had the Supreme Court upheld the verdict of illegitimacy of double oaths, the unruly elements springing up would have had some space to get dynamic. Democracy has proved beyond doubt in history that it holds position to be bloated and failed. Nothing positive can be expected as long as its Muslim nations.

The last card would be the reinstatement of Chaudhary Iftikhar as the Chief Justice. This is what I read in between. Probably, possible.

Lawyer’s Day or Media’s?

Every day in Pakistan is a tourism attractive day, without exaggeration. At least for the journalists if not the tourists. Yesterday it was Supreme Court which saw disrespect from the Civilian side, exposing its weaker point against the necessity of the Uniform and today it was the Election Commission. What would be tomorrow? Minister’s mansion? Utility stores? University? Shahra e Dastoor (yet again)?

Name any place, which needs attention from the authorities for various reasons; sanitation, upkeep, maintenance. Call the opposition, throw a regale, pay through the foreign bank accounts, a little promises, nasty last minute meetings and within minutes the place would be the hot spot, springing to action, much talked about. Due to unemployment, manpower is abundant. Opposition at least can, in the upcoming elections, boast of amassing unemployed people for the past 5 years and providing quality entertainment at the expense of ill-treatment, ill-repute, traffic blocks, disinvestment, etc and swaying away their daily tension doses through such vast and unyielding arrangements. But what about the Opposition’s Balance Sheets? Leave it to the NAB for another time.

Just for the day, today was yet another extra ordinary day. Pakistan had nothing so to show today, neither Jinnah remembered it nor Iqbal. But the lawyers and media people swarmed in around the Election Commission which passed the nominations of Musharraf and other of his opposing en troupe.

Without notice and invitation, Police started baton charging the lawyers, in the first episode, then the media people were taken by surprise. Shelling and then Baton Charge. A battlefield had erupted right before the Supreme Court and the Election Commission in the Capital of Pakistan. Where in the world such dynamism is evident. Stone age? Not necessarily but Stone aged mentalities of the sheep which fail to understand, Black Sheep (sponsored by political parties and their leadership, which were altogether absent today, financed ) which are present thinly, among the deceived and unsuspecting crowd, but loaded with stones and with yesterday’s arena even tomatoes and eggs were the ammunition to start off the ruckus; to bring both the parties at a point of physical conflict and Pakistani nation never hesitates to jump into one. Result? International media, which in some cases sponsors such acts of humiliation for Pakistan under the dictation of hidden lobbies working underhand to destabilise her, leaves no stone unturned to project Pakistan as a failed ‘Nuclear State’.

Working hands and minds in the assemblies are gearing up for yet another episode. It could be tomorrow or now. No one knows; but its apparent someone and something has to benefit from this unrest. Musharraf? Perhaps. Opposition? It was never sincere. Ruling parties? They too have to have an honourable and financially sustaining retired life. Foreign lobbies? They can’t stand the nuclear capability. Rajiv Gandhi, was not the most sly of all the Gandhis, but clever enough to deal with Khalistan issue through Benazir Bhutto who deftly gave in the lists and captured the premiership. Wanted is rule’s court’s ownership, no matter at what cost.

Nothing seems stable in Pakistan. Prices to Politics. Eyes watching her. With October the 6th approaching fast, with today’s perspective, arrangements are getting underway to humiliate and blotch the uniform again and in a more worse manner. Today’s saga could be a trailer. Who knows.

Supreme Court Tailors the Uniform

Awaited verdict, arriving winters through September and it brings in faltering hopes of the political parties which lost no chance to criticise the same Supreme Court and the Chief Justice, for which they rallied and braved the heat of Punjab in June and July, when the Uniform was declared as legal today around at 15.00 (PST, +500 GMT).

Political parties, which had all preparations in place, had the President and the commander been stripped off. The bets lay lose and naked. The same anticipation was in the air when the Big B (Nawaz Sharif) was expected to be around and sent back to his old refuge, old barracks yet again. The anticipation was blown to pieces. Alas, Pakistan public yet again fails to realise what good differs from bad and how. Goats and sheep all get crowded when its time to get slaughtered, amassed doesn’t entitle celebration.

The Government, has been sly, cautiously accepting criticism but knowingly peeking into other’s cards but keeping low on it’s. Government yet again gets a breath of life, though this time it doesn’t look so short. The present Government now can envisage a confirmed victory in the upcoming elections when, at the critical and sensitive moment, Supreme Court rallies in to shove and show its support for the Army.

Sharifs and Bhuttos, who saw convenient death of their so-called ‘Charter of Democracy’. Rumours are around that Benazir engineered the slip of Nawaz Sharif this time. Once a rival, always a rival; in between a relationship of convenience, relationship of Brothers and Sisters. Raakhi Bandhan gets sour. Dirty savage politics.

Be it the uniform or else, the poor public stays numbed and sidelined as ever. Inflation spiralling smoothly, coffers being filled, bridges are falling. No not the London Bridge but the Mayor’s Bridge. Friends and relatives enjoying protocols and services. Uniform does come in with compromises, much work too has been done. Political parties even now after the passage of 5 years, didn’t prove themselves deserving.

Not a single university, hospital, energy sector regulation, industrialisation, unified support against inflation sprouted from the Province of NWFP, where MMA enjoys its monopoly. Undoubtedly, the present Government would have been on its toes had the MMA delivered its promise. Had there been a single percent improvement in education in NWFP, the Madrassahs would never have been in the news. MMA stands failed here. Totally flop.

How could then Political parties come out in protest. What blank cheque have they delivered to the public? How come can they imagine support in the upcoming election? How can Election Commission expect free and fair election? With paltry situation and ground facts lying bare like this, where exquisite airports are constructed around slums, how would the public even care to use their right which is financed from their taxes and nominates Wolves of the jungle roaming around?

All thing aside, the lawyers, who joined the procession and breathed life in the independence of Courts, reduced down to savage usage of language right after the verdict. Anticipating sunny day and down came the rain. What to do? Run but they slander the Judges who were quite indiscriminate and professional with 6-3 difference. Even the Golden Goal, if applied, Uniform wins. Respect the law. Whatsoever. Period.

Before the international Media, the better half of thoughts should be exercised. A little respect is expected. Whatever comes down their way, its good. What goes around the block, they get personal. How justified is this?  Everyday is not a Sunday.

Double Sawaari Ban for Nawaz Sharif

What a fiasco indeed; Court orders return, so he returns but has to take the next flight back and “casted back to where it whence came from”. No not Mordor or Mount Doom, but indeed Pakistan Muslim League (N) has faced a setback for once; revealing its underlying crevices and miscommunication and ill coordination. But nonetheless, the political drama, which was in global focus and most spoken about in every media, was an interesting flick. Police baton charge, running workers, news flash and the media makes some money to keep it alive for another days. Unexpected becomes hot and expected get an easy but also unwanted exit. Nawaz Sharif probably didn’t envisage for surely the jampacked and the talked about ‘Double Sawaari’ (pillion riding, one flight and the next).

Many a players are now counting their cards, the experts who thought have good cards are bewildered how a confused state and more confused being the Rulers are, managed to avoid a massive conflict that would have overtaken the clout over Islamabad. The clout of 8 years, the clout of the Uniform.

Indeed Musharraf, was walking a thin line, under which lies the Molten lava of Mount Doom, but nonetheless after exiting the club of his intelligence advisors, Shujaat has shown him the respite in Q league. Better steps are being taken, Supreme Court being dealt responsibly and with respect, Benazir sent into quandary and lesser votes and confidence which was the need of the hour to soothe the rising of the confused herd of sheep in Pakistanis, as ever.

With Nawaz Sharif now taking the back seat uncomfortably, he has left his icon back in London to put in pressure maintained and keep it simmering. But, everyday is not a Sunday. Bygones are bygones. Shahbaz and Kulsoom combined can revive the rusting Ittefaq Foundries but not their party to rule Pakistan for 4 years. Not even 4 hours.

Hopeful Benazir too is surrounded, she must cautiously opt to have a peaceful kill to her leadership and party, which seems is the motive of the ruling parties and let music go on as usual. Benazir assumed with the return of the Big B a.k.a Nawaz, she might win some of the grounds to take over the ruling party through their psychotic acquired pressure that had mounted on them since March 9, but now the tables have turned but dust has not settled down for sure. With this incident, the ruling party has sent across the message that, “we have global partners and affiliations and powers locally, so step in with care.”

Stoking regional interest, which saw Saad Hariri and Saudi parties to intervene though in a softer tone, revealed that Musharraf and his coterie had been at work for the past 8 years. The claims that Musharraf’s party hadn’t had any Foreign policy as such have been humbly tamed.

Not to mention, this validates the economic policies of Shaukat Aziz as well. But all is not flowery and neither its spring season; the nation is looking forward to the upcoming elections either tainted or fair and free. Nothing’s free in the corporate world. Even time is money. PML (N), PPP are running fast out of time and options. At the end of the tunnel, only 2 people seem emerging, Musharraf and Chief Justice.

For the reception, its reported that MMA and none of its workers were there to receive the 2 time PM. My sympathies for PML (N).  Imran Khan too sounded acquiesced over this, perhaps there is much to come for him from the above. Promises and protocol, perhaps.

Now what seems to be on the cards for the Government is, how to brush aside Bibi Jee. With the recent development or call a feather in their hat, this isn’t collossal as well. Bibi Jee is not a spanish Bull and the Matador this time is armed. Armed with advisors, Shujaat, Police force from Pervaiz Ilahi and the Military Guns.
