Wardi, Politics and Desire to
Serve the People
Last week, general
Musharraf made two self contradictory, self belying and absurd
statements.
In one of his statements, he claimed he is
not interested in politics and he only wants to serve the
people.
In his second statement, he remarked he will
bid farewell to people if they don’t support his candidates.
If general has made these statements, we also
have the right to test the validity of these statements.
Since both statements are self contradictory,
therefore, their validity is suspicious—suspicious like general
Musharraf’s actions, stories about illegally taking over
Pakistan, and general’s other claims about state of state
affairs.
In first statement, general says he is not
interested in politics and he only wants to serve the people.
One should ask the general if he is not
interested in politics what is he doing for the last seven
years? He is playing politics for the last seven years with
Pakistan, with the people of Pakistan, with Pakistan’s
political, judicial and administrative institutions, and with
Pakistan’s political parties. He is also playing politics with
India and the rest of the world and he says he is not interested
in politics. He has ruled Pakistan like one and the only for the
last seven years and he says he is not interested in politics.
Wow! What simplicity? We hope the other 345
Pakistani generals don’t have interest in politics like general
Musharraf.
In second part of statement, general says he
only wants to serve people.
Well, well, well. There is a right way to
serve people and wrong way to serve people; legal way to serve
people and illegal way to serve people; righteous way to serve
people and criminal way to serve people.
The people who serve people the way they opt
to serve and then get proper education and training and then
follow the procedures of the trade to serve them they serve them
the right way, the legal way and the righteous way.
If the general had serve people as a brave,
nationalist and professional general, the people would have
admired and benefited from his services. Since he broke his oath
and he illegally took over Pakistan, his desire to serve the
people is wrong, illegal and criminal.
Here is it why? What happens if many other
generals, brigadiers and colonels want to serve the people the
way general is serving them?
What should they do? What should they do with
general to replace him and fulfill their desire to serve the
people? How should they dispose off general and fulfill their
desire?
Also, politics is a profession like army.
What should those politicians do who have the legitimate right
to serve the people and the country? General is holding their
space. How should they force the general to vacate their space
so that they can serve their country and their people?
A lot more can be said on this issue, but we
would only request to general Musharraf that he should desist
his desires and respectfully resign. He has already ruled
Pakistan long enough by many standards. Therefore, he should let
the right legal political process take place in Pakistan. If he
does so he will do the greatest service to the people of
Pakistan.
