PTI, its Ideology and post election future

How strange a party "PTI" is, which is fighting against status-co politics is collecting 2 billion rupees just to invest in elections and running lengthy promos on TVs with big money... how you can bring a change with same old rotten eggs, tools and processes which other so called political parties are using???

I think PTI should not put as much money in elections and stay with his ideology if it wants long term political survival else i don't see a bright post elections future of PTI.

PTI says old people joined it unconditionally and just because of its ideology then why now people are getting angry because of ticket allotments and leaving party. If PTI want to see its team's ideological strength then just refuse tickets to Shah Mahmood Qurashi, Khurshid Mahmood Qasoori, Jahangeer Tareen and so on and then see how many of them remain with PTI...

I think PTI has two challenges with this ideology less team. If these people will have fear of defeat then they will start to leave PTI even before elections. Lets say if they remain with PTI and win elections then they will leave ideology of PTI because they have to do nothing with it they just want to reach in assemblies. And if they loose with PTI name then they will again left PTI. So in all cases PTI will loose its standings with this team.

There was only one way of PTI success that it didn't induct these old so called politicians and remained with its ideological team. That way may be PTI can't do good in elections but should get more political strength for coming years.

Anyone who thinks it is illogical just answer following two questions:

1. Why PTI is putting that much money in elections when it is against this status-co politics?
2. What will happen if PTI refuses tickets to Shah Mahmood Qurashi, Khurshid Mahmood Qasori, Jahangir Tareen and many other such people?

Imran Khan; a non political leader

I started this blog about two years back but didn't continue because of time and other so called busy-ness. But now Imran Khan has pushed me to start it again and write something... I am not a professional writer so please do go on quality of my writing but just get what I am trying to say.

For last one year I am saying to my PTI friends that current PTI is not the PTI which was about two years back... unfortunately Imran Khan's lack of political wisdom is exposed now and he is also in grip of those so called politicians and system which were actual target of PTI. Now i see no difference in all other political parties and PTI. 

Imran is in politics for more than 15 years now and still he is dependent on these so called politicians for vote bank and political power. Still he can sit with a person (TUQ) who has no stakes in Pakistan and who is just to demolish this system. Imran's biggest political mistake was boycott of 2008, then induction of these seasonal politicians and now an other blunder is to sit with those powers which are just to disturb this system. If he can't judge TUQ's political move then he is again on a big mistake.

Most of our PTI supporters blindly trust him and his abilities. No doubt he has a lot of good abilities as a person but here we are seeing him as a political leader and as a politician I don't see him a wise leader. Wisdom is shown by your decisions and actions and I don't see any wise political decision by Imran Khan in his whole political career even none of my PTI friend is able to mention any such good decision.

Imran Khan emerged as  a leader just because there is a space in our system and people are looking for a change but not because of his leadership abilities. I am afraid people may not get disappoint again.

I have been killed

They flew from Jalalabad, Kabul
Or may be from Ghazi…
They invaded my homeland
Landed in Abbottabad, Islamabad, Peshawar, Quetta, Karachi, Lahore and Gujranwala
They landed in every city, every house of my homeland
and killed me, I have been killed
…
Where were my rulers and political leaders to protect?
But how they can protect me…
They are busy to protect their power, corruption and black money
…
Where was my army and generals?
Army is busy to fight someone else’s war
And generals are not meant to protect us
They are to assault our own system
…
Where were my intelligence agencies?
They are always busy to spy judges, politicians and picking our people to sell
…
And
Where were my missiles and nuclear bombs?
Are those to protect us?
Or
We are protecting those?
…
I have been killed
And sinking in deep seas of embarrassment and humiliation

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not a poet and this is not poetry. It is what exactly I am feeling from the day it all happened. I am still nowhere and sinking down and down in fear and insecurity with every minute of my life. I am feeling shame from myself. I have a lot of questions but no answers. Still none of our responsible has bothered to tell us anything. We are really a headless state without any government and defense mechanism at all. Anyone from the world can cross our borders and live here and anyone can invade and do a military operation and fly back.

I really can't express my feelings... there are no words.

May ALLAH help us all and save us.

Taliban is originated from Pakistan

I read news about Aisha an 18 years old Afghan woman whose husband cut her nose and ears because of their personal family matters. Her husband is told a Taliban war fighter. Aisha was first highlighted in a cover photo by Time magazine’s one of July, 2010 issues. Now this woman has been treated by plastic surgery with a new nose. She is also getting an international response and repute as a brave Afghani woman.

My blog is not about Aisha but about a comment from a visitor on Time magazine’s website. In fact after reading this news on BBC Urdu website I opened Time magazine website to see the full story and there I read a comment by an Afghani woman who said “taliban is orginated from Pakistan”.

Taliban is a pure Afghani movement which started right from the Afghan lands and by Afghan people especially Islamic Mosque Schools (Mudrasas) students. After Afghan Russia war when no one took care of Afghanistan to recover from war loses especially to build its economy, infrastructure and above of all its political and social structure it was left alone to bear the loss of decade long destruction. At that time Afghanistan had no political setup and structure so small war groups started to fight themselves under many war lords from different ethnic and religious sections. That civil war also took a decade and more destroyed Afghanistan’s infrastructure, economy, social and political culture. When this situation reached on its worst level, a new group of local Islamic students started to unite on a platform and called themselves “TALIBAN”. Taliban came from general public so they soon got a good response from public and may be more than their expectations and that led them to a level where they started dictatorship.

Currently Pakistan is worst affected by such Taliban movement, war against terrorism and Afghanistan’s instability. So Pakistan has nothing to do with Taliban or any other terrorist groups.

I think now this the time that we have to rework our foreign policies. What we are getting from this war against terrorism… not even favor of Afghanistan’s general public for whom we fought with Russia, we are not only feeding their millions of migrants but our most of grains are going to Afghanistan. They are living in our country more comfortably than their homeland and don’t want to go back.

Pakistan "A man who was a hospital"

When we were young, we read a story “A man who was a hospital” in our high school English course book about a man who has every possible disease a human can have. Now a days Pakistan is like the man who has every possible problem a nation can have. It is not possible to discuss all the problems in a blog it will require a bundle of books.

In my opinion the biggest issue with Pakistan is lack of leadership. Unfortunately our leadership gap started from very beginning of Pakistan. Our nation is living orphaned without a leader from its birth. Our true leader Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinah left us about a year after Pakistan’s birth like a mother who dies in a baby birth. After him we are struggling for survival without a leader. No doubt we have a long list of so called political, army dictator and religious leaders in every era but actually none of them were and even are have capabilities of a leader. I am surprised how such people claim themselves leaders even they don’t have capabilities to run a family perfectly.

Our so called leaders have every possible weakness in their characters. They are corrupt, liar, short tempered, law breakers and non sense.  Even most of them are suffering in inferiority complex and it is why they wear expensive clothing and move with a lot of protocol. Most of them know that they have got their position by chance not because of their capabilities and they have to strengthen themselves as much as possible. So how someone can be a leader who is weak in his personal character?
