Moderates Vs. Extremists Is A Fake
Electoral Issue
General Musharraf and his team of con artists
are expert in generating fake political issues and non-issues
and starting debates on their basis to deceive, mislead and
confuse the people of Pakistan.
For example, general Musharraf has always
said that he is a democrat in his heart and mind. Burt
practically he has done things to destroy the democratic themes,
notions, ideas, institutions and trends of Pakistani society. He
has crippled and handicapped everything in Pakistan that can be
named “democratic”.
Another example, he falsely claims that he is
trying to build Pakistan according to the ideals of father of
the nation, Quaid-e-Azam, Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Practically, he
has done every thing diametrically opposed to Jinnah’s ideals.
Now a day, he is frequently advising the
people of Pakistan to vote for liberal and moderate forces in
next general elections. The people who support him, he portrays
them as moderates. The people who oppose him, he calls them
extremists.
This is very misleading argument. Even
Benazir Bhutto has been fooled by general Musharraf’s this line
of argument. The other day, in a TV interview with Forum host
Shaheryar Azhar of ARY, she repeated General Musharraf’s
argument that next elections are going to be between moderates
and conservatives. That argument clearly puts Benazir Bhutto in
general Musharraf’s camp. But this is not the issue right now.
Cunningly, the con artist
general Musharraf has turned a fake issue like moderates
versus extremists in to an election issue for the next elections. The
fact of the matter is these extremists never won more than
two percent seats in national elections ever in the history of
Pakistan. It is general Musharraf whose ISI made them win enough
of seats in two provinces and at federal level in 2002 elections
to use them for the purpose of gaining legitimacy with their help.
He is today where he is, first because of
stupid verdict of Supreme Court of Pakistan and then second, because of
these so called extremists. Had these
extremists not helped general Musharraf passing 17th amendment, there would have been another
martial law and the nation would have been dealing with a
different general.
Moderate versus extremists is also a fake
electoral issue because mullahs have always been on the side of
military. Military Mullah Alliance has become an adage in
Pakistani society. Therefore, general Musharraf’s self claim to
moderation and mullah’s to extremism is a cunning way to subside peoples’ focus from the real issue.
What is the real issue of 2007 elections in
Pakistan? The real issue is: Lawlessness vs. constitutionalism.
There are only two types of forces in Pakistan: those who
support constitution, democracy and rule of law and those who
violate constitution oppose democracy and rule of law.
General Musharraf, mullahs and fake
politicians who are currently supporting general Musharraf are
the one who have constantly violated constitution, sabotaged
democracy and created the culture of lawlessness in Pakistan.
They are real extremists and. they are the real enemies of
Pakistan.
They are wolves in sheep’s skins. They are all one under general
Musharraf' s leadership. The
people of Pakistan have to throw them out with the power of vote
and restore constitution, rule of law and democracy in the
country.
