The generals in Pakistan follow no rules and are answerable to no one. They have usurped all political space. The current crisis is the direct result of the generals’ refusal to allow the normal political process to continue to hold elections because they fear it will bring Imran Khan back to power. That is not what they want, hence the deep political crisis.
A state must fulfill certain conditions: provide security to its citizens as well as food, education and healthcare. Justice is another important aspect. In Pakistan none of these services are available to the people. The state has not only failed but it has withered away.
Pakistani generals are a criminal lot. Unable to confront arch-enemy India, they frequently launch wars against their own hapless people. Pakistan’s current political and economic crisis is the direct result of the generals’ illegal interference in politics to block elections from being held because they will return Imran Khan to power who has vowed to go after the corrupt politicians and generals.
Overseas Pakistanis are the largest remitters of foreign exchange surpassing even the country’s total export earnings. Why then are the overseas Pakistanis treated with such disdain? They should rise up and fight for their rights.
Every year, March 23 is celebrated as Pakistan Day. There is nothing to celebrate given the crushed economy that has driven millions into poverty amid a deliberately-engineered crisis to prevent the crooks in civvies and uniform from going to jail. Pity the people of Pakistan.
Three important countries in the Muslims world—Egypt, Turkey and Pakistan—far from realizing their true potential are on the verge of collapse. In all three, the militaries have a lot to do with this sad state of affairs.
Powerful forces are deliberately creating instability to subvert the demand for holding elections in Pakistan. The power-wielders fear that Imran Khan’s party will sweep the polls and usher in changes that will curtail the powers of the parasites that have ruined Pakistan to this sorry state.
Pakistan has been in the grip of an unending political crisis that has badly damaged its economy. A syndicate of criminals and gangsters has taken the country hostage with no prospects in sight to resolve the crisis. It has put the very survival of the state at risk.
Most people in Pakistan would rather not remember the humiliating surrender of 90,000 Pakistani troops to the invading Indian army in December 1971 but those terrible days need to be recalled to discuss how the country ended up in that terrible situation and who was responsible.
While Pakistan teeters on the brink, the elite have been busy speculating about who would become the next army chief. Corruption is rampant and the incompetence of its rulers legendary. Unless the ruling mafia is divested of its powers, and soon, the country may not survive.
Pakistan has become a sad case of the army fighting against its own people. The deliberately-engineered crisis can be blamed on one man: army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa who is about to retire on November 29. Before he goes, he seems determined to inflict more harm.
Since his ouster from power in a US-dictated and army engineered coup, Imran Khan has attracted millions of people to his rallies. He demands transparent elections but that won’t solve Pakistan’s problems. It needs a revolution.
Pakistani generals believe that if the country were to recognize Israel, the Americans will shower them with dollars. Trial balloons in the form of visits by Pakistanis, mainly from the US, to Israel have been organized to test public reaction. Imran Khan was removed from office because he refused to along with this plot.
Pakistan has become an absolutely fascist State. People that call for punishing, through legal means those that have indulged in illegal acts, are being arrested, tortured and sexually abused in prison. The main culprits in this sordid affair are the army chief and the criminals and rapists that he has imposed as rulers on Pakistan!
Rains have caused massive floods in every province in Pakistan. At least 33 million people have been affected; their houses have been destroyed and official reports say some 1,000 people have died, among them children. The imported regime has again appealed to overseas Pakistani for help. Why should overseas Pakistanis support these thieves and criminals?
