NOORA KUSHTI Vs CHANGE as Termed By Imran Khan

March 14, 2009, my friends were at my home to celebrate Basant night but the hottest topic was the LONG MARCH. We were mostly IK’s fan & talking about from where Imran Khan would join the long march. What update we were getting from our fellow PTI “insiders” that with given condition of law & order Nawaz Sharif will prefer to remain house arrest & once PML(N) leadership is blocked completely in Lahore, Imran Khan will appear somewhere in Rawalpindi or Isb with a huge crowd & Judges will be restored and IK will emerge as the savior of the nation, sounded quote impressive however while being at Lahore we were feeling like as Imran Khan must be in Lahore to guide PTI fans in the long march.

Sun of the March 15 rises, PML-N MPA from my area gathered huge crowd & went to GPO & my party PTI was completely out of scene. After sometime all the news channels started to broadcast the state power being used at the long marchers of PML(N) & JI with a breaking news that Nawaz Sharif has been ordered to put under house arrest. I thought the plan for PTI is working perfectly fine but against my expectations suddenly Nawaz Sharif appeared on the screen delivered a very fiery 8-minute speech. I still remember few of his words…

“Gharron Me Bethay huve aaj challien, Nawaz Sharif k Sang Sang Chalien.. Aao Isalamabad Challien………..

Baatil se Dabnay Waalay aa Aasmaan nahi Hamm…

So(100) baar kr chukka ha Tu Imtehaan hamara……..”

This speech completely tilted the balance other way. One of my PTI fellows Asim called me & expressed his emotion quite similar to my emotions “O Butt! Aisi ki taisi hakoomat ki… aa challien Long march pe..” 

Shortly speaking, I joined long march with my friend, brother, bhabhi, mother & nephew. There was huge crowd with Nawaz Sharif & I thought now Nawaz Sharif would also force the government to reverse the dis-qualification decision & lift Governor’s Rule to restore Punjab government but I was taken by surprise when Nawaz Sharif called the long march off as soon as the government declared to restore the judges. He did not bother about his disqualification & Punjab government. I was so much impressed with the greatness of Nawaz Sharif. I had forgotten Imran Khan. It was the beginning of the revolution inside me & by the end of 2009 I had completely transformed into a Nawaz Sharif lover.

Now today it’s December 2011, I see that my previous captain Imran Khan claiming to bring CHANGE & blaming PML-N of playing NOORA KUSHTI against the PPP Government.  Let us briefly analyze this NOORA KUSHTI & CHANGE as termed by Imran Khan.

·         PPP government was proceeding exactly as per the plan told by PTI insiders until Nawaz Sharif turned the game with his charismatic personality & fiery speech.

·         Imran Khan always criticized this setup & termed it NRO setup but never did anything practical against NRO whereas PML-N not only opposed NRO in the assembly but Shehbaz Sharif also filed a petition against NRO & now the decision of that case has been given in favor of the petitioner, cases are being re opened.

·         Imran Khan always bashed Rental Power Plant for corruption but did he file any case against this project? Khawaja Asif a PML-N MNA filed a petition & helped Supreme Court to recover billions of rupees in the case of rental power plants.

·         Imran Khan disclosed a great plot against the national security of Pakistan i.e. memogate issue on 30^th oct (on that day only one person was aware of this information & that was DG ISI other than Imran Khan as revealed later). But IK again remained limited only to the statements whereas Nawaz Sharif filed a full strength petition in the Supreme Court which has shaken PPP government to its core & its reaction is quite evident against PML-N.

Similarly, in Hajj Corruption, Railway scandals, 115 billions of Rs recovery by Ch Nisar & in many other proceedings against PPP governments PML-N leads by example and Imran Khan remained completely out of radar on these issues & kept focused against Nawaz Sharif.

Imran Khan talks of bringing REVOLUTION with the same bunch of PML-Q people who were badly rejected by the people of Pakistan in the elections of 2008.

He has been leading a revolutionary movement “Hakoomat Hatao Mulk Bachao since May 2011” against Zardari, claiming to be the real opposition of PPP which is limited to one Jalsa one month. Every time whenever there was huge gathering at PTI Jalsa, PPP congratulated PTI, PML-Q looked released with Altaf Hussain also happy acknowledging the success of PTI Jalsas.

I conclude that PML(N) always did some practical in the parliament or outside the parliament & gave very tough time to coalition government that’s why coalition government parties react very strong to PML(N). On the other hand Imran Khan is all talking but no actions so whenever Imran Khan claims to be the real opposition, the very same coalition warmly welcomes him? Mr Khan! Who is playing NOORA KUSHTI & who worked for the real CHANGE practically?

So my dear country fellows! Analyze the yesterday on practical & factual basis. DO NOT be the victim of fantasy. Just take proper stance today so that we have a brighter future.

JazakAllah

Why to Vote for PML(N)?

By the end of June 1999, Pakistan Army was facing defeat at Kargil Hills. Its supply line was under the bombing of Indian Air Force. PAF could not intervene as Pakistan officially never owned Kargil fighters.  If PAF would have gone for rescue operation of Kargil Fighters, there was the possibility of all-out war between Pakistan & India as PAF & Pakistan Navy was not ready for all-out war operationally & mentally as they were never taken into confidence about Kargil Operation. Indian forces were advancing very fast in Kargil, they were claiming front after front, hill after hill & Pakistan Army was without food & ammunition. Pakistan army had suffered more casualties than the combined casualties of 1965 & 1971 war front losses on a single front of Kargil. The situation was getting worse & worse. A shameful surrender was heading towards Pakistan army. Everything seemed lost.  

When Generals, air marshals & admirals failed, it came to then prime minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif. He took it onto himself & converted that certain military defeat into a political withdrawal. He did not let the moral & confidence of the nation lose in its armed forces compromising his own popularity. To this day majority of Pakistanis still think that Pakistan Army was in very strong position & Nawaz Sharif backed off from Kargil on US pressure. I was also one of those until I came across this by reading a research book in 2009 “Ghaddar Kon” By a very credible journalist Suhail Warraich. 

I was the lover of Imran Khan at those times, when I came to know about Kargil reality. It boosted Nawaz Sharif’s  respect in my heart exponentially which was already at some higher level due to Nawaz Sharif’s role in the lawyers movement for Judges restoration.

This book further motivated me to research on Nawaz Sharif’s two eras as prime minister and when I researched from internet, some political history books, I was quite impressed with the fact that in every era of Nawaz Sharif as Prime Minister, all the indicators of Pakistan economy were positive. Pakistan was leading south Asia in many fields & those cannot be covered in one article.

But as a supporter & follower of Imran Khan, I was more concerned about two things about any leader

US Slavery: Whether or not a leader can withstand US pressure or broadly cpeaking international pressure on the matters of our national interest?

Corruption: A leader with no corruption (financial) at all

With great respect of Nawaz Sharif in my heart, I needed to evaluate him on the above described two standards. First Can Nawaz Sharif with stand super power’s pressure for the national interest of Pakistan? I had my answers.

International pressure handling without confrontation

USA wanted to invade Afghanistan on the issue of Usama capture or kill accusing Usama  for Nairoobi Blasts on US Embassy killing 250 persons including dozens of US citizens in august 1998. USA even fired twenty Cruise missiles from its naval fleet on Afghanistan to target Usama & those missiles violated Aerial territory of Pakistan. Nawaz Sharif took the strong notice with it & talked with USA & Taliban government at the same time & USA was left with no option but to come on table without any further offensive due to Nawaz Sharif's diplomacy.

And who can forget Nawaz Sharif’s brave handling of international pressure on the issue of Nuclear Test in May 1998. Here one thing was to be noticed that Nawaz Sharif did not over react, he gave UN enough time to act on Indian Blasts when UNO failed to make India an Example of horror Nawaz Sharif decided to answer India on the same ground countering all the international pressure. Even US president said to Nawaz Sharif “Mr. Prime Minister! If I were at you place, I would have done the same”. And because of Nawaz Sharif’s diplomacy Pakistan was not isolated in the world. Green passport respect increased suddenly exponentially particularly in Muslim World.

Similarly Nawaz Sharif went against the will of international powers on the issue of Musharaf Indemnity, Long march & NRO issues. Covering all these issues is beyond the perspectives of this article

Is Nawaz Sharif a Corruption Free Leader

It took Musharaf 28 days to file first case against Nawaz Sharif post Oct, 12, 1999 military coup and that case was plane hijacking case and that was not filed from any passenger or pilot in fact an inspector of ISI filed that. Musharaf regime could not find a single trace of corruption. There is not even single case of corruption filed against Nawaz Sharif. Hudaibia paper Mills, Money Laundering etc are just the blames not the cassis. Musharaf regime initiated the investigations but could never make the case out of those investigations. With only one thing left in my mind about Nawaz Sharif was the scheme “Qarz Utaro Mulk Sanwaro” Scheme. I had the answer in the following link

http://www.sbp.org.pk/reports/annual/arFY01/chap8.pdf

This is the link to the 8^th chapter of the official annual report of stat bank 2000/2001. Starting from the 11^th page of this chapter are the details of Qarz Utaro Mulk Sanwaro Scheme. You can find there is everything is transparent & clean about this scheme.

I concluded that what Imran Khan promises to do in the future Nawaz Sharif has already delivered that in the past. So I thought why to support fantasy, why not to support the facts. Pakistan cannot afford experimentation any further. Pakistan needs a tested person or party and that person is PML(N) chief Nawaz Sharif who qualifies every single criteria of being a leader.

Beside this PML(N) has so many social, economic, diplomatic, cultural & so many other achievements which can not be covered in one article.

Now with all due respect to my captain Imran Khan, I decided to support PML-N more actively than I used to support PTI & it was the end of 2009.

I urge all of my country fellows first to research the history with open mind. Pakistan is at a very critical stage of the history. This is the final battle for the survival Pakistan. Please DO NOT make stance by talk shows or blame game. Study your yesterday & take proper stances today to have a better tomorrow other wise

Daastaan Takk na Hogi Daastaano Me..

Pakistan: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

Three words yesterday, today & tomorrow are all about our life. Yesterday is our past, today is our present & tomorrow is our future. Our every today converts to yesterday & our every tomorrow will become our today.

We are always stuck in present means that we can not travel in time. Time is independent of us. So we need  to adjust ourselves to the course of time. What happened between yesterday & today is the guideline for us that what we should do today in-order to have better tomorrow. That's what sums up my efforts on this blog. I'll try to learn from past & share my views with my readers over here. 

These days a very hot topic of Pakistan is politics, every one talking about change or revolution. So it is very important for every one of us to step forward & share his/her views about the current political scenario of Pakistan. But we must not isolate Pakistan from the developments going on in the world. We  need to look at things in broader view, keeping in mind our yesterday & the current developments happening around the globe and than plan for tomorrow.

This is my first ever blog, I hope to have positive interactions with the readers with productive feed backs for me to learn. 

Thanks.
