Pakistan's Politics: Indelible scar on the face of Democracy

Showing in a Political Theatre in your neighboring country , the decelerating political scenario that threatens to recede the recuperating country and fetter it back,tightlly but in veil, into abyss of Army rule,yet again. The Pakistan aawam never saw a stable democracy and its politics has been a smorgasboard of Martial laws,Legal Framework Orders,Referndums & Constitutional amendments to vest the interests of opportunistic Leaders.Looking back in time its politics woefully smugs juggling of Constitution & the Judiciary with force.

Malik Feroz Khan Noon, the last in the line of Prime Ministers under the first President Iskander Mirza & leader of the Republican group in the National Assembly, came to power by forging an alliance with five different political groups, Awami League, National Awami Party, Krishak Sramik Party, National Congress and the Scheduled Caste Federation.The Noon Cabinet was fortunate to have the support of the Bengali and Punjabi group of politicians, reaching an accord between them for the first time.

President Iskander Mirza was distressed by the alliance of Suhrawardy(Awami League) and Noon. He not only felt a serious threat to his office but also perceived that he had lost his grip over the politicians.At midnight between October 7 and 8, 1958, the President of Pakistan abrogated the Constitution and imposed Martial Law(under General Ayub Khan) ,bringing an end to the term of Noon, which lasted for less than a year.Events after that saw General Yahya Khan who on March 29, 1970, through an Ordinance, presented an interim Constitution, the Legal Framework Order.After stepping down of Ayub Khan,Army Chief Yahya Khan held Pakistan's first elections in December 1970.

The Awami League, under Sheikh Mujib-ur-Rahman, swept 160/162 seats allocated to East Pakistan. However, the party failed to get even a single seat from any province of the Western Wing while Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's Pakistan Peoples Party emerged as the single largest party from Punjab and Sindh and managed to win 81 National Assembly seats, all from the Western wing.Both of them failed to reach an agreement regarding Head of State and use of army & paramilitary forces in East Pakistan led to a lost War with India in winter of 1971 and capturing of 90,000 soldiers(followed by The Simla Agreement,1972). Z.A.Bhutto became the first Democratically elected Prime minister.Coming years saw the rise of General Zia-ul-Haq(who allegedy got Z.A. Bhutto hanged). His death in 1988 lead to a pardigm shift to Democracy under Pakistan's first Woman leader Benzir Bhutto('88,'93) & a see-saw of power with Nawaz Sharif('90,'97)followed.Nawaz Sharif's 2nd tenure emboldened Pakistan's stand as a Nuclear power in May,1998. It was under the leadership of these two that the Terrorist acts against India were given Green signal.

After declaration of emergency,the day Pakistan carried out nuclear tests,Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif proposed amendments to The Constitution.The 15th Amendment allegedly made him more Powerful which led to his confrotation with Military following the resignation of General Jehangir Karamat on October 7, 1998 who was replaced by General Pervez Musharraf. The Kargil Operation further intensified the already weathered relations between the two which ultimately led to a bloodless coup by General Pervez Musharraf on October 12, 1999 and what followed is anything but a Democratic process.In June 2001, the Kamal Ataturk 's follower took charge of Pakistan officially becoming the President on June 20, 2001.Post 9/11 saw his rise as an avid fighter against the so called WAR ON TERROR on the International scenario.In order to legitimize and legalize his rule, General Pervez Busharraf held a referendum on April 30, 2002 thereby elected as President of Pakistan for duration of five years in agreement with MMA(Muttahida-Majlis-e-Amal) & avoided the question of leaving the Army uniform by Dec,2004 , time & again (as under the agreement).LFO, 2002 empowered the President to sack the prime minister, dissolve parliament and also recognize him as both head of the army and head of the state.Musharraf got the vote of confidence from both the Parliament & Four Provincial assemblies Musharraf got the right to hold office till 2007 .

Now, his two terms are over and quite thoughtfully under the pressuire from its "tight" Western ally (as Bush puts it) has agreed to take his Uniform off.Now the fact is that B(Musharraf minus uniform can contest 2 more terms( as a civilian) in the proposed 1st week of January.

The recall of Benazir Bhutto & formation of National Reconciliation Alliance(NRO) made Pakistani aawam scratch there heads in earlier one or 2 months with PPP leader Bhutto giving hints of a sophomoric agreement & Musharraf's plans of dropping all charges against her but that surely has evaporated.Recall of Nawaz Sharif by Justice Iftikaar Choudhary was the last nail in Musharraf's coffin(declaring his deportation as contempt of court) and sent him mounting off to declare EMERGENCY (or Martial Law,whatever it may be).It will be interesting to see what follows as Musharraf continues to hold the offices of Chief of Army Staff, and Chief of the Staff Committee.

Being an avid reader, Musharraf is well versed in Military History, his favorite subject but I guess he will stay long enough in Pakistan's politics to change it for good.

MY INDIA!!!!

INDIA -- A Secular State?

In this section I will address issues which may be contentious and our dormant sub-conscious asks us daily but we tend to ignore them(I do not intend to hurt public sentiments in any ways)

Is INDIA really secular??ask urself!

What is meaning of secular--"not subject to or bound by religious rule" as OED says.Now read between the words.Not subject or bound????.Where does MY INDIA stand on such a rostrum?Where is MY INDIA heading this forth from this precarious situation??

I see blasts once a week..in different and surprisingly ...even in dormant STATES

Lets go in retrospect,at times when there was one INDIA and no modern day dirty politics was there.How did our ancestors live together in such cultural diversity??A politician or a fundamentalist would argue "Divisions in the society has been prevalent since times immemorial "

statement is correct and straight...But let me put a story in front of you...

Once a person who was penchant towards weed ...sent a letter to a saint addressing

"Dear Sir,

Hello,I want to ask you a basic question.WHY DID GOD CREATE WEED & BOOZE If HE WANTED ALL HIS PEOPLE TO BE SACRED AND FREE OF BAD HABITS?"

pretty simple and straight question and both you and me would pander to it and endorse it whole-heartdly because we want to drink and do smack...a proclivity because of Media hype and natural inclination to try new things I suppose...

THE ANSWER FROM SAINT " YOU FOOL, GOD HAS CREATED FLOWERS AND BEES,GRAIN AND MILLIONS OF FRUITS,VEGETABLES,SWEETS...EVER THOUGHT OF THAT..YOUR MIND HAS BEEN TAINTED BY YOUR FILTHY DESIRES..THATS WHY YOU CAN'T SEE THE EVIDENT GOOD AND FOCUS ON EVIL FORCES "

Truly fits in the current situation...like LOCK & KEY....

I vaguely remember words from THE DA VINCI CODE MOVIE "The mind sees what it wants to see".Herein lies the problem and the solution.

Now this Mr. Politician or Fundamentalist has one problem..he doesn't have job..but he's good at influencing people..So what he does is he makes a list....

A) WHICH COMMUNITY IS MINOR AND WHICH IS MAJOR??

B) How many people are in the total number whose MIND CAN SEE WHAT I WANT THEM TO....for my own benefit ..of course(HOT TOPIC IN PARTY MEETINGS)

C) How many people are there who were hurt physically,emotionally or in monetary sense by earlier such incidents which I am going to provoke?

The list is ready...and now these people implement action plans with full vigor by either waiting for such contentious issues to heat up or smarter one like ADVANI would create such situations by delivering provocative statements trenchantly packed to spark public sentiments of either communities(whicheve direction is beneficial).Active people know the facts and figures,the motive behind two-sided statements but the passive ones pander to it & are drawn by pluralistic forces to conspire in such acts against humanity.

Politics always had & will continue to have an active role to play in such incidents(be it in Punjab or in case of Ram mandir/Babri masjid,Godhra/Gujarat) as their sole aim is to get POWER & a GOOD JOB which is difficult to get through hard-work.Thus they gerrymander human thoughts & mind for their own benefit, leave the society and the common man in sorry state unless it helps them in anyways.Otherwise NO COMMENTS,Party is seriously considering what to do etc...etc...

At the end of it all,we'll have to ponder over seriously(as we have to carry forward this mindset to our future generations) that what is more important...Religion or Humanity..One must not challenge religion as it gives you great strength but it too preaches HUMANITY as the one & only solution..I think the latter should get more preference as to dilute contamination from a solution you need to mix the desired solution (secular society) with a suitable buffer(of humanity) to dilute the contamination(fundamentalist,neocon & pluralistic forces) so that it becomes negligible.(I would be stupid to say that old wounds should not hurt or they do not...but learning from accidents only can make you safe in future...am I wrong???)Only then a SECULAR state will emerge which will need proper care and thoughtful direction from time-to-time or else "all things are heading towards entropy"

chek it out ,man...

Outpost of TYRANNY -- INTERNATIONAL POLITICS

BEHOLD!!the terrorist state of the world is sticking its ugly head out again.Since times immemorial US sponsored terrorist organisation C.I.A.has been hiring culprits or more appropriatly hard-core international terrorists which recently got the name of WAR AGAINST TERROR.
OKK..another opinionated guy who hates U.S....but check the facts..from where should i start...ok

FACT NUMBER 1
U.S Fedral court acquitted Luis Posada Carriles, an international terrorist who plotted the 1976 mid-air bombing of a Cuban jetliner that killed all aboard and made many life threatning attempts on life of Fidel Castro(on the orders of his C.I.A. bosses) was freed earlier this year..of course not without the White House conspiring in it(he crossed from MEXICO to U.S. illegally and was caught) and guess on what charges he was deported for trial..IMMIGRATION FRAUD...

FACT NUMBER 2

US war on IRAQ was based on so-called U.S.intelligence reports that it had WMD.

mmm...hmmm...even after the nuclear watchdog IAEA gave clean chit to IRAQ that it had stopped all such plans after Mr. Saddam Hussein allowed them to visit all such facilities..Bush won't budge from his stand..and based on reports of General Petraus(same dude who handles it now and gave a report that civilian and military deaths have fallen and IRAQ is on its way to progress).And by the way the " PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE" BUSH administration had were only boards wit arrows pointing towards a Weapons site..cool evidnce to start a war indeed.I,personally have been searching for such fotos but all I could come up with was this one on the right.

Speaking otherwise, U.S. soldiers,when quizzed by some reporters in Darfur say "Yeah,we napalm them"..by the way, napalm is a chemical weapon.And these facts are fun for me,Saddam was hanged for what u know??

Use of Chemical weapons a decade ago in an Iraqi city which killed 2000+ people

Eat this,7,50,000+ is the number of deaths caused due to U.S. attacks sinc the 1990's in that region.why not hang BUSH over it??

FACT NUMBER 3

Terrorist organisation C.I.A. recently sponsored the overturn of an Islamic Govt. in Somalia which was recuperating from 15 yr civil war wounds to give command in the hands of the same warlords which drove the U.S. forces out in the famous " Black Hawk Dawn " episode in 1993.Now, they are U.S. military favorites which proves only one thing NEVER TRUST THE U.S. GOVT.

FACT NUMBER 4

U.S. recently pinched Israel in the back to drop some bombs on Syrian territory

on grounds that the bombing site held "technology and equipment" for developing the North Korean Nuclear facility(the truth about this is not out in the open)..U.S. also endorsed the failed Israeli war on Hezbollah last year..

The reason??Syria and Hezbollah are the only two countries in the region that endorse Iran.Step was to harass the 2 govts. and follow the policy of intimidation which is Washington's thumb rule in International politics.(Revert back to FACT NUMBER 3 LINE IN CAPS)

FACT NUMBER 5

This one's my favorite.IN 2005,BUSH & Condolezza Rice (U.S. Secretary of State)with the aim to spread democracy & " Power of Freedom",prepared a list having 3 groups..

GROUP a -- INSTITUTIONS that had only now taken path to DEMOCRACY

(Georgia & Ukraine-- U.S. sponsored Orange revolution another

ulat fer)

GROUP b -- hi hi...AUTHORITARIAN LEADERS WHO COULD BE REFORMED

(PAKISTAN)--Attention all military rulers, help U.S. create its

military base in your country and win a seat in GROUP b

GROUP c -- REFORM RESISTANT STATES(OUTPOSTS OF TYRANNY)

featuring Cuba,North Korea,Iran,Belarus,Zimbabve & Burma/

Myanmar

Wonder why U.S. did not feature at the top in GROUP c !?
