Pakistan In The Swamp of
Paradoxes
Pakistani state has been trapped in paradoxes
since its inception. Unfortunately, Pakistan failed as a state
to resolve any contradiction that it faced during its brief
history of sixty years.
Starting from the contradiction of ‘Pakistan
was created in the name of Islam thus it should be ruled by
theocrats’ to the ‘System should not derail otherwise democracy
will be wrapped’ or ‘So and So is symbol of Federation of
Pakistan and if he is removed the federation will fall apart’
are the contradictions which are haunting Pakistan from the day
one. Pakistan practically broke in 1971 and the rest of it is
falling apart now but Pakistan’s half ass political leaders are
still reinforcing the same logic to cover President Asif
Zardari’s rear end.
Can someone ask why it was necessary in the
first place to make a character like Asif Ali Zardari the
President of Pakistan?
Why Pakistan Peoples Party, if it is a
political party and not a herd of half grown political animals’
insisted on making Asif Ali Zardari the President of Pakistan?
Why Altaf Hussain so-called Quaid of
so-called Tehrik suggested Zardari’s name as President of
Pakistan and why rest of the so-called allies of Pakistan
Peoples Party voted for Asif Ali Zardari?
Of course, PPP was delusional about Asif Ali
Zardari’s shady deals, but what happened to the members of the
rest of the so-called political parties who voted for him in
Parliament and provincial assemblies?
And what about the international so-called
backers of Pakistani democracy UK and United States of America,
they supported a criminal like general Musharraf for 8 years and
then they agreed to support Asif Ali Zardari as President of
Pakistan. Didn’t their secret agencies have enough of data on
Asif Ali Zardari to guide them to make right choice for Pakistan
if they were seriously interested in replacing Musharraf
dictatorship with democracy?
On one hand such contradictions are gradually
weakening Pakistan as a state and on the other the lives of 170
million Pakistanis are becoming miserable due to growing social,
cultural, and economic and law and order problems.
Those who control state of Pakistan
internally and externally are so powerful, deceptive, and full
of intrigues that the common Pakistani folks cannot keep up with
their influence, conspiracies and wheeling and dealings.
Therefore, regardless of their determination, they cannot
resolve the contradictions prevailing in Pakistani state
structure, system and governance.
Under this scenario, what is supposed to
happen is happening. People like Zia, Musharraf, and Zardari
come in power, people like Benazir and Nawaz Sharif play their
political games, people like Altaf Hussain deliver thunderous,
without substance lectures, but practically no change takes
place on the ground. The peoples’ lives continue to degrade from
bad to worse.
All wicked players, internal and external,
must understand this is an ugly picture. It is dangerous and
explosive.
They must take steps quick to resolve the
contradictions and improve the conditions of life for the people
of Pakistan or face unpredictable consequences for letting the
situation become worse from bad.
