3/30/2009 Lawyers' movement Versus Jinnah
People say that the movement of lawyers has come to its logical end after the restoration of Hazrat Iftekhar Chauhdry. For some reasons, i dont believe that. I am sure that for one cause or the other, lawyers will again create anxiety in the society.
From the beginning of this movement, lawyers tried to pretend that they took stand for a noble cause, and their struggle was peaceful. But the realities and events tell a different story. Though the media fully supported the lawyers’ movement, and tried its best to hide the terror acts committed by lawyers. But somehow few incidents could not be concealed. And who knows media was succeeded in hiding so many of such acts ?
More than one time during the campaign, lawyers equated themselves with Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (because of the fact that Quaid was also a lawyer). But what the lawyers were doing in the movement, was making an angle of 180 degrees from Jinnah's foot-prints.
I dont know at which point of Pakistan's Movement, Quaid created or supported agitation in sub-continent ? I dont know when Quaid tried to leap over the gates of governmental offices, just as Mr. Ali Ahmed Kurd and his companions did. When did Quaid throw stones on Police, or ordered the supporters to throw stones ? Though the views of Jinnah and Gandhi were poles apart, but i dont remember that at any point of the time Quaid attacked on Gandhi's face with a black spray, just as what was happened with Ahmed Raza Qusoori. During the speeches, there were numerous inflaming, disgusting and harsh statements by the top-leadership of lawyers’ movement, which no-one could ever expect from lips of Quaid. The incidents of Naeem Bokhari, Waseem Sajjad and Sher Afgan Niazi are also very well known, and throw lights on the real character of lawyers’ movement.
During the British rule in sub-continent, Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar, Maulana Shaukat Ali, Maulana Azad, Gandhi and other famous politicians of Congress launched 'non-cooperation movement' throughout the sub-continent. Jinnah opposed this policy to such an extent that he resigned from Indian National Congress. And now, just few days ago the nation witnessed that Nawaz Sharif and Lawyers called for civil dis-obedience in the name of the restoration of Hazrat Iftekhar Chauhdry, and they did so as well.
In his speech at Edwardes College Peshawar on 18th April 1948 Jinnah said, “Praise your Government when it deserves, criticize your Government fearlessly when it deserves, but do not go on all the time attacking, indulging in destructive criticism, taking delight in running down the Ministry or the officials.”
Whereas lawyers and the political-jokers who asked the public for non-cooperation, did exactly opposite of what the Quaid said. I am unable to understand, how could they claim that they are the followers of Quaid ? 3/27/2009 Create dis-order .. and win !
The foundation of this formula is laid on the fact that few people are more than enough to control a large number of people, provided that they use unlawful means. For example, half of a dozen people are sufficient to hijack an aeroplane with the help of weapons. Same number of people can organize a successful bank robbery. Quarter dozen can plan a successful robbery in a house.
The formula was first used by lawyers and political parities against Pervez Musharraf. The lawyers and political parties launched a full-fledge agitation across the country and shook-up the whole society. Consequently Musharraf stepped down, and they won.
Observing the successful results of the formula, Sufi Muhammad of Swat Valley created lawlessness in the valley and used sophisticated weapons against the population and Army. The militants of Sufi Muhammad bombarded more than 200 girls schools, market-places and government-owned properties. After committing destructive activities, the militants used the population of valley as a shield to hide from Army Operation. In order to avoid any further damage of the people of the valley, the government decided to stop the 'hide and seek' game with the militants, and un-willingly signed a peace-treaty with Sufi Muhammad. Hence, Sufi Muhammad won.
In the mean time, lawyers again gathered in order to restore the deposed Chief Justice Iftekhar Chauhdry. A political party PML-N, that basically belongs to a particular province, and takes care of the interests of that province, played a vital role to fuel the anarchy. A nation-wide chaos erupted, and the CJ was restored. Dis-order won again !
So, if you belong to another small group of people, and so far failed to achieve your goals through lawful means, just do not worry. Simply start using unlawful means, and spread anarchy in the society. Create dis-order and win. 3/10/2009 Replacement of political leadership
The reason that why 60% voters dont come out to cast their votes is very clear. They know that these politicians are not the true representatives. They know that the candidate who is asking for the vote is either a feudal lord, or an industrialist. And if by chance it does not belong to both of these power-centric categories, it must be a personal favourite of any feudal-lord or industrialist. They know that these political leaders, who try to become the champions of democracy, do not promote democracy within their own parties.
In order to make people participate in elections in great numbers, and in order to bring the true representatives of people in the assemblies, a major replacement of political leaders is badly needed. Majority of the voters is looking for a new political leadership. They need a political leadership whose character must be as clean as it is supposed to be a true leader. 3/9/2009 One dictator OR two dictators ?They say 'dictator' to such a person that comes in power without getting elected by the people. Whenever spoken, this word 'dictator' signifies a particular historical and political back-ground with some particular personalities. In Pakistan these personalities are generally known as dictators, and their names are Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Zia-ul-Haq and Pervez Musharraf (so far). And of-course, globally dictators are not considered as ideal rulers.
Political leaders claim themselves 'representatives of people' as they come as a result of elections. In Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif are the chiefs of two biggest political parties. As they are democratically elected personalities, therefore they are considered as 'representatives of the people'. Statistically, a vast majority of the people of Pakistan is consisted of middle-class, lower-middle class, poor class and the people living below poverty line. These classes encompass more than 90% of the population. Whereas Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif belong to such a class that is commonly known as 'elite'. Asif Zardari is basically a feudal lord, and Nawaz Sharif is a leading industrialist of Pakistan. The fact that both belong to the privileged class, creates a big question mark on the perception that they are the representatives of people.
History of their respective political parties (PPP and PML-N) says that when they come in power, instead of serving the people of the land, they work for attaining more and more power. They use every mean to tighten their grip on power. They manipulate law, they amend constitution for vested interests, they use force to suppress opposition and they do everything that a 'dictator' is supposed to do. So in true sense of words, the democrats become the dictators.
But the best part of their story is, in the eyes of world they are still considered as democrats. However these democrats do not follow one habit of the dictators, i.e. the 'economic stability' that the dictators provide to the country.
I was thinking that do we really need two dictators, which are wrongly considered as representatives ? Or its better to have one dictator, that provides economic stability ? |
