Re: # 307

Shankar:

The life he led in the West comes with a lot of baggage. I once watched on YouTube (someone had posted) a talk show in which Imran was present, a guy from MQM and some other person. Most of the time spent was on his illegitimate daughter and some article of the constitution.

His inability to project his wife as bahu of unwashed masses (thanks Hamidm sahib), as oppose to Sonia Gandhi, indicates that he has problem in connecting with the rural masses. Hence his poor performance in election.

These are a couple that come to my mind.

In the interview with BBC, he does talk about possibility of foreign hand, but places primary responsibility on Pakistan's failure to provide security.

I think his views on WOT in Afghanistan make a lot of sense, even though it goes against Washington's mindset of thinking.


Shankar bhai, it is obvious that the first and foremost candidate to cop the blame must be the security forces for their glaring inability to prevent such an audacious attack. Having said that, it was morally incumbent upon him to have apologized for his statement earlier that Pakis are so Cricket-mad that no one would attack Cricketers. By blaming everyone under the sun, it appeared that IK was more keen on diverting attention from his Polyanna-ish views than anything else.

As for the WOT in Afghanistan, I believe it is one of the few things that the US got right, even though how they went about it is open to debate. IK is merely echoing what his constituency is keen to hear.

anil,

""Imran has a lot of baggage that he cannot nicely pack and dump, certainly not in Pakistan.""

What baggage?

harish,

Every politician in India & Pakistan blames a "foreign hand" in a terrorist attack. In the interview with BBC, he does talk about possibility of foreign hand, but places primary responsibility on Pakistan's failure to provide security.

I think his views on WOT in Afghanistan make a lot of sense, even though it goes against Washington's mindset of thinking.

Looks like you have joined the Govt of India. All your recent posts are coming in triplicates.

I'm sure you know that Ajit joke where Peter comes running and informs him that he's had triplets and would like him (Ajit) to give them a name. The man asks Peter with a straight face to name them Kate, Duplikate and Triplikate :-)

PS: Seriously, I have no idea why every interact is being posted thrice.

pti will rise, but slowly, unless imran gets some good second tier people.......

IK can definitely get support from the people in Karachi if he teams up with some prominent and princiopled people like Aitezaz Ahsan, Justice Wajihuddin and properly organize PTI party. but these people are not islamist enough for his liking. part of being successful polititian is to make forsighted compromises to build strong team. IK lacks that.

......having said that, the guy is the most charismatic personality in south asia.....if not one of the most in the world.....honest to the core.....and now, personally, a polished politician......he is the moral conscious of pakistan......

There goes Captain Clueless again! If Imran Khan was so honest and principled, the man would have accepted his mistake when he wrongly predicted that no Paki would attack Cricketers. Instead, the man offered every possible convoluted explanation as to who could have done it. Foreign hand, Army, government, he blamed everyone. But not once did he have the decency to admit that he had been wrong.

If this is the most honest specimen available in Pakistan, one shudders to think how the dishonest specimen would be like.

....i really got tired of debating politics with you, after you claimed that bush was the best thing to have ever happened to usa......do keep in mind that you were jumping up and down when he was in power.....i kept telling you he would be a disaster.....

.....then you claimed that the, "droopy eyed one" would never be restored......

...as i have been telling you, you need to stick to comedy....chowk was a much more fun (and sane) place when you were the resident comedian.....

.....i have lived in mianwali for a year and half.....i know its ins and outs.....what to talk of its location.....

as for imran khan.....his best bet is nwfp.....starting from tribal punjab, extending towards fata.....this is where he is the most popular....he is devoutly anti-gwot etc......in the last election, surveys indicated his party to be second, in nwfp.....so he would have won quite a few provincial seats......he claims this himself.......

can he win in urban punjab.....i doubt it.....pml-n is very popular......imran has been unable to even win a seat in the locality in lahore where he built a cancer hospital......all his candidates lose by large margins.....

though, in alliance with pml-n, he could win a few seats in urban punjab......however, rural/tribal punjab extending into nwfp is where his real base happens to be....he, personally, competes from lahore, mianwali and swat etc.....he loses in lahore, wins huge in mianwali, and i think will start winning in swat etc.....

Re: # 294

Romair:

Reading your and Hamidm’s posts, sounds like that Pakistani election politics has not learned how to provide alternative to rural population.

You say the politics would make transition to urban politics.

You may be ignoring that elections can only be won in rural constituency. Simple folksy message and sloganeering are needed, not Oxford credentials or Cricket captainship.

Rural folks in general are conservative and disdain city slickers, Imran has a lot of baggage that he cannot nicely pack and dump, certainly not in Pakistan. Then he gets into dramebaazi, like he was in the news that MQM leader in London would be arrested any minute, stripped and punished. This tells me that he is not a street fighter and cannot pick the right fight that he can win.

He did a great job for Pakistani cricket, and cancer hospital. This is his strength, and I am afraid for such strength politics is not the theater to play.

There is a case study in Mayawati’s election. She had simple message – your bahenji (sister), and simple sloganeering – something about Ganesha and Hanuman being "our gods" too, and not just theirs.

The latter took care of BJP, the first took care of Sonia Gandhi (tumhari bahu). This election she is going all alone, and is staking a claim to be the next PM of India.

Imran could not even wrap Jemima as the bahu of the masses. Something Rajiv Gandhi was able to do. He is too not a politician. He should concentrate on exposing and try bringing “honesty� in politics and expose politicians. If he does that on TV, he would have a huge audience, including rural. May be in ten years he might be ready, or by then he might decide that he is better off with his popularity and connection with people, which politicians would be scared. Rush Limbaugh somehow comes to mind as a role model for Imran Khan. I know Rush is despised by liberals, but he has following to make the difference.

shankar #: "OK--what about Imran?....he's not feudal,he wasnt in the military, there are no charges of corruption, he has bought honor to Pakistan; not only as a cricketer, but the charities he's founded yada yada.."

...good question....following are the answers:

uptil now, pakistani politics was based on two principles...number one, it was dominated by feudals and pirs....number two it was dominated by crooks.....one had to be one or the other, prefarably both, to win....

now things are changing.....ppp is the last bastion of the feudal and the pir....and the recent urban movement has started the end of this......if ppp doesn't evolve into an urban party, it is out......

......will the second element end.....maybe after this judicial revolution......

.....imran khan if far too honest, principled and inflexible to succeed in this system......he was offered the pm'ship by musharraf.....he was offered a large number of seats, by nawaz sharif.....etc.......he refused.......

.......in a game dominated by crooks, one can only make alliances with crooks......and he refuses to do so.....

......secondly, i am quite disappointed by the people he has as his second tier......they are nobodies......they couldn't get elected dogcatcher......no charisma.....no political acumen......they are barely ever on tv......no one knows who they are......

.....people say he is too inflexible, and people leave his party......

......having said that, the guy is the most charismatic personality in south asia.....if not one of the most in the world.....honest to the core.....and now, personally, a polished politician......he is the moral conscious of pakistan......

he, himself, wins by record votes in his rural seat of mianwali......the surveys showed that his party was to be second in nwfp, if it hadn't boycotted.....

......i think in the next election, pml-n, pti, ji will participate in an alliance.....pml-n will sweep punjab, and imran and jamaat will win, jointly in nwfp......mqm will join them, as it always joins the winning party......

if the above happens, then imran's party will, finally get some seats.......and most of all, pakistan's politics will have, finally, shifted to the urbanites......

ppp, in my opinion, is on its last legs, if it doesn't massively reform.......pti will rise, but slowly, unless imran gets some good second tier people.......

..... a lot of people wanted to vote for imran khan but he didn't run in the last election .... if he had, who knows, he might have been able to win a few more seats and his party could have become a real political party ....... it takes more than good looks and articulate speech to be successful as a politician - you have to be able to mobilize people at the grass root level and you cannot do that alone .........

........ imran khan is a good man in the tradition of asghar khan, maulana bhashani and nawabzada nasrullah ...... he is a good protester (read whiner), but does not have the ability to organize a tea party for masadi's dolls ... but there are still a lot of people who will vote for him if he can get his shinola together .........

Tragedy of pakistan.

Many in pakistan are celebrating the recently events as a victory for rule of law.

What has really happened is that Mushy sacked anti- mushy judges. Nawaz wanted them back so that he can use the judges as his rabid dogs to attack mushy. In the mean time Zardari has packed the courts with pro zardari judges.

The events in pakiland only proves that there is no law in pakistan, even the judges are simply political, they simply favor their men, no concept of law for them.

What has happened recently is a great tragedy for pakistan, and it proves beyond doubt that there is no hope for democrazy in pakiland.

Police arrest two alleged distributors of Killer Kuppi
Tuesday, March 17, 2009
By Salis bin Perwaiz

Karachi

Two bootleggers, allegedly involved in the sale of the poisonous Kuppi (homemade liquor) that claimed the lives of 28 people last week, have been arrested by police. The arrests follow the suspension of two SHOs, who have also been demoted for failing to control the sale of poisonous homemade liquor in their respective jurisdictions.

//////contribution of kerala ////////////////

Kuppi, the local name for bootleg in pakiland means, "Bottle" in malayalam, the kerala language. Good to know that keralites have helped to pake pakis happy by letting them forget the blood bath taking place around them.

I think about 80% of bomb blasts in pakistan are not done by suicide bombers but through remote control means. But in either case it gives some political milage to those who control the microphone and run the propaganda machinery.

In support of this argument take the case of spate of bombings right after the Islamabad school girl masacre. All of those suicide attacks were done quite atrategically against the Musharaf regimes state machinery in a fashion that the whole system was brought down to its knees in a matter of 3 months. The police and paramilitary even refused to perform security duty and at anyminute there was a chance of bangladesh type mutiny. This is what resulted in the kciking out of musharaf by other memebers of mafia cartel in fouj.

The pir wadhai attack doesn't make any sense. Are taliabn trying to tell us "ok enough celebration, don'r forget about us, would you please come and kill us and our children again". It only means that CIA, NATO, and hindus are also involved in bomb blasts in Pakistan as part of their clandestine warfare and propaganda.

Clinton warned Pakistan of aid cut if no deal
Mon Mar 16, 2009 4:01pm EDT

By Sue Pleming

WASHINGTON, March 16 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Pakistan's president and opposition leader over the weekend U.S. aid could be at risk unless they defused a crisis over a top judge, U.S. officials said on Monday.

In a surprise move, Pakistan's government announced on Monday it would reinstate Iftikhar Chaudhry as chief justice, aiming to defuse a crisis and end protests by lawyers and activists that threatened to turn violent.

The officials said Clinton telephoned on Saturday both President Asif Ali Zardari and his rival, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who had backed the anti-government lawyers.

The officials said Clinton, who coordinated with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, had exerted strong pressure for a deal.

Clinton told reporters the decision to reinstate Chaudhry was a first step for much-needed reconciliation and political compromise in Pakistan.

She avoided answering when asked if she had linked continued U.S. aid to a deal.

The stability of nuclear-armed Pakistan has emerged as a key worry in Washington, which also needs its help to combat a Taliban insurgency in neighboring Afghanistan

Asked if the political turmoil was distracting Islamabad from taking on the militants, Clinton replied: "They understand what is at stake."

CONGRESSIONAL DOUBTS

U.S. officials said Clinton told both Zardari and Sharif congressional lawmakers might balk at sending Pakistan more aid while the crisis persisted.

"She warned them that congressional appropriations would be at risk," said one U.S. official, who asked not to be named.

A senior State Department official said "many" in Congress had expressed concern over what was happening in Pakistan.

"The secretary's friendly advice to the Pakistani leadership is that we have got to get this situation under control," the official said.

U.S. special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, also spoke several times over the weekend to Pakistani politicians.

"This was all done with great respect for Pakistan's sovereignty and sensibility but with great concern for the strategic and political implications of a protracted confrontation," a Holbrooke aide quoted him as saying.

The Obama administration is reviewing its strategy toward Pakistan and Afghanistan. Details, including possible future aid, are expected to emerge in the coming weeks.

In January, Zardari urged the United States to boost both military and non-military aid.

The United States has spent billions of dollars in recent years helping Pakistan fight al Qaeda and the Taliban in remote tribal areas along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

Senator John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, released a report last month calling for $4 billion to $5 billion in immediate financial aid to help Pakistan avert financial meltdown.

Kerry welcomed the decision to reinstate the chief justice but said more must be done.

"Now, Pakistan's civilian leadership must avoid divisions and work together to further strengthen the nation's democratic institutions," the Massachusetts senator said in a statement.

State Department officials credited Pakistani leaders for their compromise and downplayed the effect of U.S. actions.

"These were decisions that had to be taken by the Pakistani leadership. And in the end, I believe they acted in the best interests of the Pakistani people, and that's what's important here," said State Department spokesman Robert Wood. (Editing by Alan Elsner)

&am p;qu ot;Top US government functionaries tried their level best to prevent the PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif from coming out on the roads but they failed. US President’s Special Envoy Richard Holbrooke spoke to Nawaz Sharif twice last week and offered his services for mediation with Asif Ali Zardari but the PML-N Quaid never encouraged him.

Nawaz Shrif told this scribe that he did not want the Army and the US to interfere in the political affairs of the country and that was why he ignored the offer of the American envoy, but in a polite and friendly way.

Nawaz Sharif is confident that March 16 will change the history of Pakistan not through foreign forces and the Army but by the peopleís power"

Hamidm sahib:

You can have your Viceroy. India cannot have it, until it has a man who can charm and sweep Viceroy's wife off the floor, and Pakistan's leadership is so ugly that Arjun looks more handsome.

Another factor against the above happening, is that current generation of Indians are busy enjoying Bollywood chics and boys, cricket and their IT and wealth. If you do not believe me, just look at the facts more than half of the elected members of Parliament are over 60 years old, and a good quarter are 70 to 81 years.

So in short you will have no competition, the Viceroy is all yours. A good lesson to read and follow would be out of Nehru's life with Edwina. In case Pakistan goes that route.

It is increasingly becoming apparent that Punjab-centeric forces like PML-N, Pakistan Tahrik-i-Insaf, a powerful section in PPP from Punjab, and the Punjab-heavy military and their religious allies like JI are succeeding to oust Zardari from power-even from leadership of PPP.

It is clear that only Punjus are celebrating .........

...the restoration of the cj may cause big problems for the usa......i think one of the reasons he was not being restored was usa's pressure (along with zardari's nro)....

......if everything is returned to nov 2. situation, then the person in the biggest trouble is musharraf......anyone can, then, file an FIR against him for treason....it is an open and shut case, and he will get the death penalty......

.....obviously the usa doesn't want any of its dictators hanged......it has already lost musharraf to the lawyers......and, now, it has lost zardari also.....it could control both of them, as they were dependent on the usa.......it will have more difficulty controlling gilani, and if people like imran khan start coming into power, they will actually openly challenge the usa.....as they have no skeletons in their closet (barring an illegitimate child, or so).........

if musharraf is hanged, hosni of egypt and abdullah of jordan et al, will start getting cold feet.....it will be a clear indication that the usa cannot protect its dictators...pretty soon the usa may have chavez's on its hands everywhere.....

.....the second issue is that of the missing persons......God knows how many have been picked up and handed over to the usa by musharraf.....the deposed cj, actually, was carrying out raids into musharraf's safehouses, trying to find these missing persons.....he was bringing IG police etc. into court to find them.....

....obviously, the usa doesn't want the whole missing person's episode exposed......it has its hands full with guantanemo......

.....so musharraf must be very concerned now......as must be the usa......phone calls are probably being made to nawaz etc. to go easy on musharraf and to not touch the missing persons.......however, some citizen may file a case against musharraf for treason, and against usa for missing persons......

.......lets see what happens......the grip on usa on pakistan society may start to loosen now......zardari was their big civilian hope.......he is down and out......

....as someone who has had a front row seat to this event, i have found it quite interesting.....

to answer your question.....if a movement succeeds, there is a vacuum created and who will fill that vacuum.....currently the vacuum has been filled by two civil society groups - lawyers and media.....

....could the taliban fill it......maybe.....they would have to do a lot of work though.....they have no indigenous roots in what is, today, pakistan.....they cannot win an election.....they have no popularity amongst the masses....

however, if the situation continues like SR is suggesting, and they can provide an alternative, they could succeed......

in my opinion, they have no alternative to provide....hence they will not succeed.....they will cause a lot of trouble, though....

pakistan is, slowly, going through political maturity.....power is shifting from the elite (chowk crowd) to the middle class......after which, will it shift to the poor class......let's wait and see...

in the meanwhile, i read that the nwfp govt. is thinking of giving the taliban jobs in the police and constubalory.......i think that is a good idea....make everyone who militantly rises against the state, a part of the state.......ever since shariah was accepted in swat, there hasn't been a single bombing in islamabad......

The reality of India lies in the above question. Now you can believe it to be different in Pakistan. Pakistani army ha been a mutually exclusive constituency, since the first general descided in 1958 (or was it in 1959). The sooner Pakistanis accept it, the better they are, as long the army can be made to come to the table without guns. After all whenever mafia heads meet, they all remove guns before entering. This time, the U.S. has done it, now civilians need to develop unspoken mafioso rule to no guns allowed. Unless you want Viceroy to be appointed by the White House.

VRV sahib, here is what the deal it, the military lost credibility in Pakistan due to Musharraf, it is merely trying to regain it before it strikes again. It is still calling the shots from behind the scenes. The unintended consequences of their manipulations earlier was what produced the lawyer's movement and now they are trying to manage it w/out changing the underlying power equation....however they are sadly mistaken if the movement will go away just because one personality was restored. The best they do is buy time, much like the capitalist world system with its shenanigans to hide class conflict, stories of entrepreneurship, gender, racial and a 1001 other divisions just to keep people from focusing on what is limiting not only their life chances but their years of life lived, class and only class because the few thugs that rule the world have walked away with most of the global resources and nowhere in the history of the world have average incomes been so different in different parts of the globe as in the current time...

Even if the reign him in, this movement is here to stay.

anil #165 Please rest assured that equating support for a dictator with support for democracy is indeed a substantive gap in your understanding of the concept of democracy.

Here are the remaining gaps between democracy and your understanding of it:

1. Ridiculing elected leaders equates with ridiculing those who elected them. You refer to Nawaz Sharif, a former prime minister and a national leader by any reasonable standard) as "Sharif Pehalwans’". Why cant you use the same respectful tone for elected reps that you use with posters like myself on chowk who represent no one but themselves?


2. An independant judiciary that stands up for the constitution and basic rights is the heart of a democracy, and this is what Sharif has provided leadership in achieving over the 18 months or so. You refer to this as "shenanigans".!!!

I could go through the rest of your post and find other substantive gaps, but I think these are enough dont you agree???

Like I said, the moron mullah doesn't have a clue. He wants to undo the Army as if these shalwar and chappal owners can undo a well built up, US funded and trained institution. That is not the way to proceed. Restoration of the CJ would damage the military more so than the ak rounds these mosquitoes can throw at them, even though I know that life is cheap to them, other people's lives that is...and it is also true that these leeching parasites are waiting on the sidelines to assume ownership of the revolution once it occurs with full US support, they are the fallback of the US once the army fails and they know it....that is the reason for their confidence and the reason why all 5 of their fingers are in ghee...on the flip side, the freedom of India and pakistan was not handed to them on a platter as tahmed claims in order to worship the white man, it was not handed over period, it was passed over to their peons where Pakistan is concerned and the freedom of both was kept in check through each other, after the British precipitated, anticipated and then ignored the bloodshed, for which they moreso than the hindus, sikhs and muslims are responsible. Finally, nobody in England struggled for their freedom, it was and is not still available to them, the bourgeoisie duped the masses when the feudal order was overthrown and still rule....

"Sindh alehdgi passand" card is lost as well because now everybody knows that fascists and terrorists like MQM and jiyay sindh are in fouj's pocket and it has been using them all along. No more.

I absolutely agree with the statement. However, my proposal to avert that is that an independent judiciary and a sense of law and order can avert this eventuality. The other two Bushites propound a "kill-all" solution. I have no doubt that the corrupt, pro-western ruling elite will opt for the second option beause that is what they are being paid to do.

Where there is no justice, there can be no peace.

By justice I do not mean to toot the horn of the symbolic restoration of corrupt judges by an even more corrupt elitist politician, who is continuing to play the shameless role of a still more corrupt general ... No. I am talking about the concept of justice, as in (relative) fairness and the so-called "rule of law" ... both of which are simply non-existent in the Islamabad Federal Republic (a.k.a., Pakistan).

Be it the politician, the general, the PPP feudal, the PML industrialist, the Pir or whoever, they are ALL the SAME. No difference between ANY of them ... does not matter if they go through the farce called elections or simply sneak into office through the back door. They are still members of the very same club and their interests are INCOMPATIBLE with the interests of the populus at large.

This is where the so-called Taleban factor comes in. Jahil, misguided, ignorant, primitive or whatever else you might call them, their is one thing that we must recognise that (a) they are 'from the masses' and (b) they represent a 'protest rejection' of the status quo.

If the elitist establishment had not been as corrupt, incompetent, nepotistic, fascist and exploitative, the so-called Taleban (better use the term 'islamic militant' although it is also not accurate) would never have come into existence, and the claim T32 makes would be perfectly valid and applicable. (T32 says that the mullah does not get any vote, Romair says the same, and I agree totally.)

If there is a 'bloody revolution' -- which could very likely happen one day -- it will not come through a popular vote. Neither the Bolshviks of Petrograd nor the Ayatullah's of Qum came in through a popular vote. The people will accept the militants one day, not because they are Islamic fundamentalists, but because the people shall have been totally exhausted, tapped out, discouraged and dejected by the perpetual and repeated deceit and exploitation of the imperialist-feudal-colonial-aristocratic luch-bazi that passes for governance in our on-again off-again pseudo-democratic pseudo-dictatorial system of plutocratic kleptocracy.

A day will come when violent convulsion will punctuate routine life and spontaneous mobs will unexpectedly materialize out of thin air like summer thunderstorms. Those who will be unfortunate to get caught at the wrong time in the wrong place will pay the price. Everyone who wears western trousers, speaks English and rides in a car will be a legitimate target of those mobs. The mob will make no distinction between Urstruly, T32 and Muhammad Hamid.

So go ahead and masturbate all you can about the pros and cons of this versus that party or system or election or selection of whatever else the fuck you want to split hairs about, none of it matters. It is ALL bullshit. You guys are so far, far, far removed from the grass root reality that you have no inkling. I am also just as far away, if truth be told, but I have seen things that I had only heard of before. My new-found perspective comes from the past few months that I have spent witnessing first hand the real problem of life among the real people of Pakistan. I have not seen anything I didn't know existed and hadn't heard of. But knowing and hearing is one thing and actually being ankle deep in mud and much and going through the gali, mohallahs and kachi abadis, and nomadic jhuggi-jhompri settlements and the disease ridden squalor of villages and talking to young and old has literally opened my eyes.

I can tell you with certainty that ALL of this political talk is irrelevant bull shit. It's nonsense crap and it belongs only to an artificial thin 'epidermal' layer of Pakistani population. The remaining 99% have no stake in any of this rubbish.

There is overwhelming possiblity that the lawyers and civil society's struggle to establish rule of law will fail miserably. The reason is that that they are barking the wrong tree. The burai ki jaR in this whole debacle is the napak fouj; there is a strong possibility that GHQ might have hand in this mini civil war in order to divert attention from itself. Unless and until Pakistani nation realize that they must inflict a humiliating defeat to the haramkhor fouj and drag the bastards in the streets of Pakistan no revolution will ever be successful. Marg bar fouj - is the way to the revolution.

In India, to their great credit, the military generals stayed out of politics and, to their great credit, indian politicians took the freedom from the platter and rn with it. In pakistan, otoh, the politicans and later the military merely took the platter and kept it for themselves.

Woah! Wait a sec, we both inherited British institutions. To achieve a functional democracy in a country that has a relatively small population,that has 1 religion, a similar culture (to a large degree) in the entire country should be easy.

ie...easier than maintaining democracy in diverse nation, of a billion people, with every single religion & a largely varied culture.

No matter how flawed Indian democracy is...its much better than this bullshit..

Inheriting democracy from the British is the easy part. 61 yrs of Pakistani "maintenance" of democracy makes Indians feel they've achieved a miracle.

Last year, Pakistan got an elected government after 8 years of dictatorship. PML-N, and Sharif Pehalwans’ shenanigans and calls to rebel are making a mockery of the democratic institution. He did that in 1990s by raiding the Supreme Court and disrupting its functioning. They are once again undermining democratic institution. PML-N should put forward a no confidence motion in the Parliament on the grounds that the Punjab government has been illegally dismissed. They should try to defeat the government in Parliament. If they lose no confidence motion, then at most in five years PML-N will have a chance to take their case public in elections.

PML-N actions clearly show that street protest, and call to rebel are winning and that Pakistan is exposing itself to foreign influence. Sharia in swat showed to some that Zardari was really trying to make an independent policy decision. Now he is being made to dance to foreign tunes, rather than politicians calling for rebellion. Nehru was quite firm is getting rid of communist government in Kerala, no one called for a rebellion or went to the U.S. or England to resolve this crisis. Nawaz Sharif is wrong. Pakistan’s democracy will have such diversity in governance and law from state to state. All politicians should respect and accept such diversity in Pakistan.

In this nascent democracy, Gen. Kiyani and ex-President Musharraff (I know he is not popular in Pakistan) have a role to play to defend the democracy. They should make these politicians battle it out in Parliament. Too much Punjabi Pride is hurt, otherwise Nawaz Sharif should see an alliance with Musharraff. Indira Gandhi did that to get back in power after she was thrown in Jail. She sent Chaudhary Charan Singh flowers from jail, and was able to convince his to throw his support behind her. This is politics and Pehalwans need to look east of border for some ideas on how to play politics.

It is only the pakis who believe that restoration of CJ will improve the paki image are supporting the long march. For the poor hungry pakis, this is just another lump off grass in their food.

A mans vision - the path of pakistan

Many on the chowk are busy speculating about the political turns in pakistan. There is nothing new here, it is merely a repeat of what has been in the past, the zulfi who turned a dictator, the benazir who turned into a corrupt dictator, the nawaz who became a jihadi with the sharia laws...

There is an underlying theme in all of teh above..the steady march of the country into a jihadi state,

The fata and swat have been formally surrendered, the jihadis are at the door of Peshawar.

The madrassas continue to produce the jihadis, half join the taliban..the other half is with the army. Increasingly the paki army will not fight the taliban simply because the soldiers are refusing. The only institution of pakistan, the paki army is now totally jihadic.

In a short time large sections of the army will defect to taliban. That is when pakiland will be de-nuked. Re-sizing of pakistan is the only option for the world.

Thank you zardari

Good to see that the long march has become homestay. The march is not by the civil society, there is no such thing in pakistan. There is no one who talks about hoodood ordinance, no one cares about the blasphemy laws, and none of this lawyers talks about the ahmadias, and none of the educated who seek passport refuse the denigrate the ahmadias in the passport application for.. Good zardari, you have dealt with the barbarians they way they deserve.

These people, the so called civil society are simply a set of opportunists to unseat Zardari, teh so called CJ is so partisan that he should not have been made the CJ. He is teh same one who supported the doctrine of invetability abd legaised all the dictators. There is no law in pakistn, it is only sharia and there is no need to have a sacked CJ back. Long live Zardari, tell teh world the truth about pakistn, tell them that pakiland need strong dictators.


My dear Zardari, your days may be numbered, no one ..no one survives wrath of paki army. Look form bombs every where, look for gun men under the bed. Good luck my dear.

When President becomes dracula or dajal?
Blood thirsty Dracula , The Vampire who has become extremely blood thirsty and is in his full bloom of sucking the blood of poor Pakistanis.

This Dracula, the Vampire sucked so many different types of blood including his own wife's blood.
I am sure he won't hesitate to suck his own kids blood who are next in line of being his victims.

All Pakistanis are his victims.........

Now, the big time question is how to ward off this Dracula? Or may be he is not Dracula, he is DAJAL of Pakistan.

I have no comment about your recycled stuff in the first paragraph but about the comment in ps. I would like to add that for the first time in the history of Pakistan the so called "unwashed" are not alone. I also agree that the leeches will try to go back to their usual business of sucking blood after bandar baant but its going to be a very short stint. The first wave of offensive on behalf of "unwashed" masses is the middle class pakistan aka civil society - if they fail - then the second wave of offensive will follow. That wave will be that of firing squads and guillotines. Things have changed now after the corrupt pro-western ruling elite decalred war on people of Paksitan by the Lal Masjid and Islamabad school girl massacre. There is no turning back now. Its going to be excrutiating and painful for your kind. Even Babrak Karmal held his ground for three years but ultimately was hung at the barrel of a Ruski tank.

So my advise to all chaprasees of West is that it is time that they cut their loses and get lost from our country.

Urstruly writes "And don't forget your empire is under our feet. We dismantled it."

First it was not "my" empire, it was not even a communist empire. It was just as much a part of the capitalist "war economy" as the US, playing its games.

Second, you had no part in the afghan/soviet war, the napak fauj had a bigger role than you as did the USA.

Third, 1.5 Million Afghans killed with over 2 million refugees, compared to 13,310 Soviet casualties, does not sound like much of victory to me

Fourth, The Soviet Union's collapse had nothing to do with the war in Afghanistan period. That is part of US propaganda to covert your type of third rate, cave grovelling thugs into a major enemy for mainstreaming.

Finally, you don't even have shoes on your feet or a brain in your skull, how can you have any empire under it?

Whatever is happening today in Pakistan has in its foundation the blood of shaheeds of lal masjid. It will not end until each and everyone responsible is zaleeled and dragged through the streets of Pakistan.

My vision is that that the napak fouj takes over. The people of Pakistan must defeat this najaiz aulaad of East India Company in the streets of Pakistan. If the corruption, lawlessness, and indignity is a serpent that has its fangs dug deep into the body of Pakistan, then fouj is the head of that serpent. Unless this head is crushed for good, it will keep injecting its poison in the veins of Quaid-e-Azam's Pakistan. Napak fouj - the najaiz aulad of colonialism - must be burried in the streets of Pakistan.

Counting your chicks before they hatch is not a good strategy, you could be disappointed.

Granted Mr. Zardari and Company have been caught on the wrong foot, but lets be patient, first round went to Sharif, second round has yet to start.

By the way, Pakistan continues to be a Federation where political parties participate in the process to determine the consensus opinion. Last time I checked, ANP had the majority vote in Frontier, and here u r "speculating" or wishing for IK and JI to form Government in the frontier. Not going to happen, best u hedge your bets.

I was in Pakistan during the last Feb elections. In a meeting with some informed people, I gathered that the army wanted and the US also to some extent supported the idea that PPP, PML(q), and the MQM form the government in the center. Given the circumstances of Benazir’s agreement with Musharraf and the US backing of the agreement, the scenario looked more plausible than anything else.

Later that day, I met with some journalists in Karachi and they believed that the PPP and PML(n) would form the government in the center. They reasoned that the PPP’s rank and file would not agree to work with the MQM and PML(q).
PPP quickly patched up with the MQM over its workers heads but was not able to overcome the workers resistance in Sindh over PML Q. The Sindhi workers consider the Chaudhrys of Gujarat were party to Bhutto’s murder.

Zardari went for the next best option which was a popular one too. His agreement with Nawaz served both parties well. Nawaz was desperate to get the Punjab government so there was no reason for him to not agree with Zardari and help the PPP at the center.
PPP and the establishment never considered the CJ reinstatement was a major issue among the political parties. In fact a concerted effort was made to keep the issue on the side. Zardari too believed that PMLn would come around to accepting the establishment position on this issue so he twice agreed to reinstate the CJ and twice reneged on it. This is ridiculous to assume that Zardari was or is afraid of the CJ. CJ has a prior history of working with the establishment like Zardari does and eventually both would have worked with each other.
The Issue was really the missing persons and the CJ’s insistence to release them on behalf of the Islamic parties. CJ’s sympathies with the rightwing in Pakistan are well known. It is also possible that CJ was using that issue to build support in the most vocal section in Pakistan politics-the Pakistani media. The Media in Pakistan is still under the Islamist control after Gen. Ayub and Gen. Yahya flushed out all left leaning, Nationalists, liberal journalists, and owners from the leading positions.
CJ’s position on missing persons was considered inimical by the army and there was no way the army would have allowed him back in the Supreme Court. Zardari and Nawaz both understood army’s position. Nawaz insisted on reinstatement to make Zardari’s position appear contrary to the public opinion to hurt him politically. The second idea was to make zardari’s partnership with the army untenable by forcing him on this issue.
That thing worked. Zardari lost credibility among the middleclass and the Media had no sympathy for him. Please recall that Nawaz before starting this march went to see Qazi Hussain of JI and immediately afterwards Rehman Malik (Zardari’s rep) visited Qazi Hussain too. (I hope people have read about the missing brief case question after the Rehmen Malik visit. Rehman came with a brief case with him to see Qazi Hussain and left without the brief case. A question was asked by some journalist and that infuriated Qazi Hussain.)

This was a little lengthy background.

I fully support Nawaz’s March and pressure on Zardari and I think if Zardari is as smart as he claims to be, he will take full advantage of the situation and deliver another blow to the army. But he is limited by his sycophantic nature. His power is important to him and he believes that good relations with the army and the US would keep him in power.

The US is not ruled by the Republican Party now and the influence that Benazir had on the Republican administration through Rice is no more. No one in Washington is listening to him and he is relying more and more on the Pak army and its relations with the Pentagon to stay in Power. He might survive this March but not for long!

basant: 6, long march: 0

....much worse has been done by zardari, than shutting down geo, and was defended by sherry rehman.....in any case, pakistan is being run by unelected side of ppp - zardari, sherry, rehman malik, farooq naik, etc........

all the people who win elections - gilani, aitezaz, etc. are totally against what zardari is doing.......sherry rehman types are more opportunists, and hanger ons, than anything else.....she has no political base......

pakistan is certainly an interesting place, politically...never boring..i almost got caught in a long march traffic jam....

.....pakistani politics is maturing....this is what we are seeing right now.....the only question is whether it will mature fast enough to save the country......

.....there are, now, two strong civil society institutions in pakistan, which have clout and have provent their power and credibility......media and lawyers....pakistani media is better than media i have seen anywhere, including usa, canada, india etc.....and pakistani lawyers may well have the honor of bringing down two dictators in two years (musharraf and zardari)......quite a record....

......pakistani politics is shifting from the feudal/pir system to urban politics.....basically fedual and pir thiefs (ppp) will now be replaced by urban thieves (pml, mqm)......this is a good thing.....urban business thieves are more productive than fedual/pir thieves....

......the future of pakistan politics is pml now.....ppp had been reduced to 16 seats, when musharraf carried out the coup, in 99.......pml rid itself of feudals and pirs, when pml-q broke away....pml-n is, now, totally an urban party, led by a corrupt industrialist family, supported by small businessmen, and now the legal community and media......

ppp is (was) a uniquely contradictory party....it was, and still is, a feudal and pir led party, with support, ironically, from rural peasants, intellegensia, feminists, minorities, and legal fraternity......both regressive and progressive at the same time.....

however, now it has lost its progressive element......and its peasant supporter is also fed up.......while pml-n is getting stronger and stronger.....and is becoming the voice of urban civil society......

....so the future is pml dominating punjab, and thus pakistan, as well as other urban areas......and mqm dominating urban sind.....mqm is a truly secular, middle class progressive urban party (the kind of party, which pakistan would need)....however, it is fascist and massively criminal......

so, who are the two stars, in terms of good governance in pakistan.....hands down no. 1 is shahbaz sharif.....this guy should be the pm....no contest......the second is, apparently, mustafa kamal - the young mqm mayor of karachi.....

imran khan is getting more and more popular....he may actually win the nwfp govt. next time....unfortunately, the guy has no one in his team......i had an introduction with some of his second tier leadership......they couldn't run a grocery store or pull 10 people to their jalsas.......

so:

shahbaz sharif zindabad!
mustafa kamal zindabad!
imran khan zindabad!
chaudhry iftikhar (post second musharraf coup) zindabad!

...the next govt.will be pml-n (in alliance with pti, ji in nwfp)....mqm will join it in sind, as it joins any party in power........

ppp is in its last days, if it doesn't get rid of zardari quickly.....i think he is waiting for his last term deposits to mature in swiss banks (seriously speaking)......after which he will step down or move into the background......

Sherry Rehman now deserves all my respect , no doubt about it. Yes, Sherry Rehman you have proved your self right and patriotic when it was needed the most. You proved that still Pakistani women have more strength, leadership, self respect and political honesty.

Yes, Sherry Rehman I do admit that I was the one who harshly criticized you and Ghulam Gilani PM after watching an inappropriate youtube about you and him. Since then I never respected you and always hated you with strong emotions. Until yesterday, when I saw you standing beside PM Raza Gilani , I saw extreme sadness in your eyes and your facial expressions were reflections of your inner sadness , I saw your real honest self for the first time and I knew that this is the first time you would come forward and will leave Zardari alone for his corrupt and incompetent leadership and will stand beside poor Pakistanis for their rights and for true reason.

And today Sherry Rehman , you became my hero by resigning against Zardari's lies. Sherry Rehman, from now on You're My HERO. I am proud that Pakistani women have the courage and honesty to stand up against dishonest dictators.
Sherry Rehman , you have washed all our wounds and your old stains with this great example of real leadership.
Naheed Khan and Safdar Abbasi , two most senior leaders of PPP also left Zardari for his dishonesty and for his utter lies.

Bravo!!!!! Sherry Rehman, Naheed Khan and Safdar Abbasi....My three heroes who are the new light and hope for Pakistan's future.

[[Kayani steps in to break impasse


By: Haq Nawaz - The NATION Lahore - Published: March 14, 2009

ISLAMABAD — In the backdrop of intense reconciliatory efforts by the US, UK and other international players, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani Friday persuaded President Asif Ali Zadari and Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani to defuse the tension during the crucial talks throughout the day.

The consultations continued uptil late in the night at the Presidency to reach some formula for lifting Governor Rule in Punjab and revival of majority party rule, restoration of deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and repeal of 17th Amendment.

According to sources close to the consultative process, the Army Chief has played a proactive role to push the government to come up with a workable plan so as to put an end to the political crisis. Instead of foreign powers, the Opposition parties, led by Mian Nawaz Sharif, are satisfied over the COAS’s mediatory role and could be trusted to act as a sort of guarantor to implement the formula once agreed among the stakeholders.

Officials privy to the top level meetings between President, Prime Minister, army chief and international mediatory efforts led by US envoy Anne W. Patterson and other foreign envoys revealed that all the power brokers were trying their best to resolve the Sharif-Zardari row as soon as possible and a breakthrough in this regard was likely today (Saturday).

“So far, the deadlock persists between the President and PM as President Zardari is reluctant to accept the patch-up formula aimed at restoration of deposed judges, lifting of governor rule and repeal of 17th amendment. However, the intensity of international and national mediatory efforts was such that the contentious issue is likely to be resolved today (Saturday),� said a senior official here requesting anonymity. He said the President had been told by the international powers as well as the security establishment that he would have to show flexibility to avert any serious damage to fragile political system.

However, the opposition parties and lawyers’ community are seeking surety of implementation of the plan and pressing for early confidence building measures.

The top civilian and military leadership have remained in discussions behind the close doors at the Presidency and Prime Minister House through out the day to sort out a workable plan to put an end to the current political crisis, sources close to the consultative process told TheNation. They said the President has indicated to resolve the issues including lifting of governor’s rule in Punjab, amending 17th amendment and restoration judiciary under Charter of Democracy, signed by the slain PPP Chairperson, Benazir Bhutto and PML-N Quaid, Mian Nawaz Sharif, three years ago.

But the judges’ issue under CoD is unacceptable to the legal fraternity. However, contrary to the developments, one of these Sources said President Zardari is still reluctant to accept the plan in letters and spirits with special reference to the restoration of Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Choudhry.

Spokesman for the Presidency, Farhatullah Babar when approached commented that no decision regarding restoration of the deposed CJ and exact timeframe for lifting of governor’s rule has been taken as yet.

Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani called on the President at Aiwan-e-Sadr, followed by the President meeting with the COAS. General Kayani later met Mr Gilani at PM House. US Ambassador Anne Patterson also called on the PM to push the government to take some reconciliatory steps.

During a meeting between the President and PM, the President was quoted, as saying that the path of confrontation would not solve any problem adding all parties should come on the negotiating table to settle the matter.

Sources in the Presidency stated that during the meeting host of issues relating to security situation, long march, governor rule, Pak-Army capabilities and other were discussed in depth. During the meeting, PM advised the President to take immediate steps for ending the governor’s rule and giving suggestions different options to settle current political debacle in the country.

He told the President to call Provincial Assembly session soon adding whosoever party attains majority is free to form government in Punjab. Meanwhile, the PM and COAS in the meeting discussed issues of national interest, security situation, Army’s capabilities and operational preparations besides other matters in length.

Govt and opposition fail to break deadlock

The, not so veiled, efforts by the top military commander to broker a deal fail to produce any concrete results to defuse the prevailing crisis]]

Many foreign exhibitors and key speakers have refused to visit Pakistan leading to cancellation or postponement of the scheduled events resulting in financial losses to the organisers.

Top event organisers shared that they had to mostly reschedule their planned events to later dates, as foreign participants were fearful about coming to the country even for a few days.

As more and more parts come under taliban rule as in swat, the type of events planned for pakistan should change. Traditional exhibitions of industrial goods are no longer relevant, they have to be sharia compliant.

Gilani, Kayani meet Zardari; president rejects reconciliation plan

Saturday, March 14, 2009

By Rauf Klasra and Asim Yasin

ISLAMABAD: The political crisis in the country took a plunge on Friday when in a dramatic move, a defiant President Asif Ali Zardari outrightly rejected the Washington-London backed reconciliation formula involving Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani and ordered a crackdown on the media to stifle lawyers’ long march.

The intervention of Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani during separate meetings with the president and prime minister appeared to have produced no breakthrough in the deadlock before the long march approaches Islamabad.

PM Gilani was reportedly offended after the president refused to oblige his repeated requests of taking the reconciliation route as before leaving the PM House for meeting the president, he was hopeful that given the American-UK and Establishment backing, Zardari would not say no to him.

/from jang/////////

Thank you zardari for listening. There is no crisis in pakistan, it is a country that cares nothing when benazir was killed and the crime scene washed clean under ISI orders, it cares nothing when a cricket team is attacked and a dozen jihadis walked away, and no one is arrested.

Let the lawyers march, there is no civil society in pakistan, and Zardari..show to the world the reality of pakistan.

Khyber- there is BIG reason for agitation, the Feb 2007 election farce carried out by the Army to restore its image is proceeding on plan via Zardari, the greatest threat to the military is a reformed supreme court, that is the main reason the restoration of the judiciary that for once stood up to its dictator is being opposed. IT is time to raise hell to lay the foundations of a nation for the people, with that context, the lawyer's movement is the only thing positive to come out of Musharraf's BS rule over Pakistan this past "lost" decade....The feudal, army, US, mullah alliance needs to be ruined, for the sake not only of Pakistan but the larger Third World.

To protest is every body's right, but to instigate the poor followers on offering food and transport to go on rebellious march in order to help the existing insurgency of the Taliban in the province of Punjab at this precarious juncture of the political upheaval against the state is something dangerous to the survival of the country itself. Nawaz Sharif's call for revolution in Abbottabad was significant, because, that city is on the border of Swat, which is already under the control of the religious fanatics and Taliban. Surprisingly, the very movement in Swat was carried out by the people of Punjab. It means that the fresh call will give free passage to the Taliban to reach Islamabad without hindrance as the distance is not more than fifty miles from Islamabad.
As regards the present protests by the lawyers and some political parties, they have no support by the general population, because they have no agenda except to reinstate the dismissed judge and Chief Minister of Punjab, who has been disqualified by the Supreme Court. The opposition started a long March today, but alas! they miserably failed to entice the common men. But long march is going on in TV channels and news papers. People are now-a- days asking to each other "Why this agitation? We don't find any reason in it!"
Feudal aristocracy always plans to bring the army rule to usurp the resources of the other three provinces, because the army of Pakistan is comprised of 92% Punjabis. They don't like a Sindhi President. All the planning of agitations is made in the Drawing Rooms in Pakistan.
The feudal dominated society has no courage to come on the street. They bring the laboureres, tenants, unemploed youths and poor people on streets to die for their nefarious cause.

hey following is the interesting article i just found on web.....
Zardari fifth Sindhi target of Nawaz’s rebellion
G. N. Mughul
KARACHI: It is interesting to note that President Asif Ali Zardari, is fifth Sindhi, holding a vital position in the set-up of Pakistan, against whom PML(N) chief Mian Nawaz Sharif rebelled all along his political career since 1988 till today due to one reason or the other. The first victim of Mian Nawaz Sharif's style of politics was soft spoken Sindhi Prime Minister Mohammad Khan Junejo. Junejo was dismissed as Prime Minister of Pakistan by the then Military dictator Gen. Zia ul Haq after an enquiry ordered by the then Prime Minister Junejo in to the causes of the famous Ojhri Camp explosion against the wishes of the Military dictator. When Mohammad Khan Junejo was removed from the office of Prime Minister, he also held the office of President, Muslim League. It was early 1988. At that time Mian Nawaz Sharif was attached with Punjab Government and was rather President Muslim League Punjab. At that time Mian Nawaz Sharif used to be known as blue eyed boy of Gen. Jilani and Gen. Zia ul Haq. Immediately after the removal of Mohammad Khan Junejo as Prime Minister of Pakistan a meeting of the general council of Pakistan Muslim League was called in Lahore. According to the circles close to Junejo group, a majority of those invited to attend the said PML session was recommended by Mian Nawaz Sharif. In this meeting Mohammad Khan Junejo was also removed from the office of the President PML. Afterwards, PML was bifurcated in to two groups viz PML(Junejo group) and PML (anti Junejo group). Hamid Nasir Chattha sided with Junejo and remained with him till the death of Junejo. Afterwards, Junejo group was headed by Hamid Nasir Chattha and with the passage of time Junejo group was renamed as PML(Chattha Group). The second victim is reported to be Pir Pagaro. When attempts were made by PML Punjab group headed by Mian Nawaz Sharif to rebel against Pir Pagaro, Pir Pagaro also dissociated from that PML and formed his own group called since then as PML(Functional group). First Secretary General of PML(F) was S. M. Zafar. In 1988 general elections held after the death of Gen. Zia ul Haq in a plane crash, PPP headed by Benazir Bhutto captured majority of NA seats even in Punjab. At that time Provincial polls used to be held two days after national polls. In the meantime, Nawaz Sharif camp raised the slogan of " Jag Punjabi Jag - Terey Pag nu lag gaya dagh" and aroused the parochial feelings of the people of Punjab against a Sindhi leader of PP. The said attempt succeeded to the extent that majority Provincial Assembly seats in Punjab were captured by PML(N). As the result, PP formed Government in centre with Benazir Bhutto as the Prime Minister and PML(N) formed government in Punjab with Mian Nawaz Sharif as Chief Minister. The later developments bear testimony that Nawaz Sharif's Punjab Government did not recognize Benazir Bhutto as Prime Minister of Pakistan and the then Punjab Government virtually rebelled against PP Government in centre in almost in each field to the extent that whenever Benazir Bhutto, as Prime Minister, visited any area of Punjab she was not provided due protocol by the Punjab Government of Nawaz Sharif.

Hamid mian,

I just saw NS calling for those in the executive branch to disobey orders. Huh! NS claims that this is a noble cause and that he has been chosen to lead. He claims that he is blessed to lead this movement.

To me, it seems that he has gone nuts! He is claiming that divinity is on his side, and is asking everybody including students, clerks, bureaucrats, farmers, poor people, and all the other kinds of unwashed masses to come and be a part of this march.

What's wrong with this guy? He acts as some kind of a revolutionary.

I always thought that revolution comes from the left, and fascism comes from the right. Alas, this guy does not even understand the basic political science theory. Or does he think that the unwashed masses are such an idiot that they might repeat the 1979 revolution of iran that was brought about by the leftist first, and later these leftist were marginalized by the theocrats. Lucky for the pure people that very few are listening to his call.

Hamid mian, this is political circus and should continue for a few more weeks. GHQ boys must learn to laugh at the punjoos amongst their midst, and hopefully they could purify the unwanted fundoos amongst them, before they venture out to lead the unwashed masses.

IMHO the current regime can handle puristan's rigamarole. What say you?

1) Prime Minister will file review petition on the disqualifications.

2) Governor rule to be lifted and Assembly session called for anyone with majority to form Government in Punjab.

3) Parliamentary commission as provided in Charter of Democracy to be formed to select superior judiciary afresh from all available judges.

Fair package, but Zardari needs to agree. 24 Hrs is being mentioned, otherwise dama-dam mast qalandar.

Political turmoil: next 24 hrs will be very crucial
MONITORING DESK

ISLAMABAD ( 2009-03-13 18:12:29 ) :President Asif Ali Zardari separately met Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani at President House, here on Friday and discussed key issues related to current political situation in the country.

According to reports, later in the day Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani will meet former Chief Minister of Punjab Shahbaz Sharif for negotiations regarding the current turmoil in the country.

The reports further said that Gilani has been reportedly given 24 hours to convince Zardari into agreeing to the new political and constitutional arrangement, as further delay will not produce any political results for the political forces currently on the warpath.

The ball is now firmly in the court of president Zardari, who has to take a decision swiftly on endorsing the agreement brokered by powerful international actors.

IMHO I see that you are a very liberal minded person and you are a capricon (born leadership qualities). I also think that you should be saved by bringing you on the right side of the issues currently happening inside puristan.

NS represents politics of Zia-qul-na-haq, and must be removed from paki society. Fortunately for the punjoos NS is being marginalized and his political fortunes will just remain within the confines of raiwind. It is quite obvious to political novices like myself that jamaatis are controlling NS. Do you really want the jamaatis to control the fat-sos of Raiwind?

Hamid mian,

another question for your infinite political wisdom...

[The answers to the conundrum can perhaps be found in the arithmetic of electoral results. It is pertinent to note that, despite being billed as one of the two national parties with Nawaz Sharif as a national leader, the PML-N has emerged in the 2008 elections as a regional party representing Punjab and Hazara. The party has no representation whatsoever at either the national or provincial levels in Sindh and Balochistan or from the majority Pakhtun areas of the NWFP. That PML-N has been able to carry forth its current campaign only in northern Punjab cities underlines its geographically narrow political base.]

http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/Dawn%20Content%20Library/dawn/news /pakistan/behind-pml-n-outrage--za

Is this true?

I know that you don't like Hazarains, and jammatis. Why on earth are these punjoos doing with such company?

Regarding Kiyani, our western allies would need something in return, and what could be that? BTW, I saw your garaain Sheikh Rashid, and to be sure I must agree with you. This guy is a political genius, all with his smirk.

Zardari agrees to resolve crisis in light of CoD
Updated at: 1920 PST, Friday, March 13, 2009
ISLAMABAD: In response to the reconciliatory efforts of Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, President Asif Ali Zardari has agreed to resolve prevailing political crisis according to the charter of democracy (CoD).

According to sources, Army chief’s meetings with the President and the Prime Minister are producing results.

Gen. Kayani held separate meetings with President Zardari and Premier Gilani to discuss various options for solution of prevailing political crisis confronting the country.

Well-placed sources told that it was agreed that all controversial issues should be resolved according to the CoD signed by slain PPP leader Benazir Bhutto and PML-N chief Mian Nawaz Sharif.

Sources further told that Prime Minster was in favour of restoration of deposed chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry. However, the president’s close aides said that President Zardari wants his restoration through CoD.

The President is willing to lift governor rule in Punjab while besides Army chief, British and American governments are playing the role of guarantors.

President Zardari and Prime Minister Gilani are expected to meet again tonight in which some important decisions are expected.

Hamid mian,

Just stick around and you will learn the global political moves that is being played out in the land of pure...

Many Saudi clerics have condemned jihadism as a “deviance from Islam.� Even prominent Saudi clerics who have criticized the Saudi government, such as Salman al-Awdah, have sent open letters to bin Laden condemning violence against innocents and claiming that al Qaeda was hurting Muslim charities through its purported ties to them.

http://www.realclearworld.com/articles/2009/03/al_qaeda_versus_saud i_arabia.html

After you have read this article from stratfor, do you think that punjoos are geared towards understanding the global political happenings?

Why can we not ascribe JI idealogy to "the rule"? If the unwashed masses could only do this then we can certainly clear the pure land with unwanted foreigners, and let Raiwind fat-sos become eligible to wreack havoc on the uninitiated fraternity of punjoos.

I agree with your post but I think...Justice Chaudhry who alone can pull the nation out of this sorrowful and inherently destructive predicament by denying to the political tribe across the spectrum the excuse for their confrontationist politics. Expressing thanks to all those who have stood by him all along honestly and sincerely, he may announce that in the supreme national interest he is abdicating from his very legitimate right and going into voluntary retirement. His unilateral announcement will further ingratiate an already beholden nation to him. And the esteem in which the people hold him so dearly will reach new highs. For ever, he will live in their hearts’ deepest niches. And when the chroniclers sit down to write history of these times, they well pen down in golden letters that a great man and a great patriot he was, who subordinated his self to the sublime cause of his people’s good and his nation’s wellbeing. And in bold black will they write of those politicos who are using his repute and fame for their confrontationist or self-perpetuating politics.

What have these politicians given to the nation, for which they are exacting such a high price on it? They divide up their time between home, where they land to agitate or to reign and rule, and abroad, where they keep stashed bundles of their slush cash and heaps of their prized properties, luxury apartments and booming businesses. But why have the masses become such a silent spectator of their inherently disastrous show, which could potentially push up their country to a precipice and hurt it irreparably. These charlatans and imposters masquerading as their leaders will feel no hurt. They have many places abroad to go to. But the masses have to live here; no place outside they have to go to. Their destiny is linked with this land; if it thrives, they flourish; if it sinks, they too will sink. They must stand up and condemn with their full-throated voice the outrageous feud of these partisans and in no event should they become part of it. This feud is not their feud. Where were these bigwigs when they were under the rule of the jackboots? Fugitives; were they not? Luxuriating in their palaces, chateaus and villas in distant resorts; were they not? And are they seeing the menacing clouds creeping in over their land from the western and the eastern horizons, which the masses are seeing with so much of dread and horror? Certainly, they are not. So the masses must abjure and denounce their feud, and ask them to stop it or face the consequences.

Even in functional democracies, political alliances do break up. But were these times for these two to separate and declare war? Weren’t it these times to get united, not get divided; to reconcile, not fight, and to engage, not disengage? Aren’t we in the clutches of a deadly extremism vilely threatening to destroy us to the roots and make a Somalia of us? Aren’t lawlessness and criminality of all brands evaporating the little bit of sense of security our people are left with? Aren’t foreign investors getting increasingly scared of doing any business with us? Aren’t we in the thicket of a declining economy and living on foreign loans and doles? And aren’t outsiders from one to all proclaiming that we on the way of becoming a failed state, if not have we become already? So what is that has impelled these two parties’ leaderships to act so irresponsibly as have they? Of course, both have their cheerleaders, who do cheer. But it is only jeers, and in bucketfuls, that the street has for both the two. So blemished and culpable is their track record that neither has a moral ground to strike the posture of grandstanding as are they doing now. So ugly is their past that the street hates even to spit at it. And they are making it uglier with the day with their petty politics and power plays.

Hamidm makes a valid point.....why are you people in ur homes? Democracy doesn't get implemented top down alone. It also needs a bottoms up commitment. The so called civil society in karachi can organize thousands of kids wearing fake suicide vests, fake blood on their faces and carrying fake guns...screaming "death to joos".....

while their parents can't even come out to support a movement for installation of an independent judiciary-a cornerstone of democracy which people feign to aspire to. Something is very wrong here. It seems that pakistanis are perennial sufferers of a lack of intestinal fortitude and love for the next messiah.

tahmed32,None of these Paki politicians are honest and sincere.Pakistan as a nation is failing miserably and corrupt and opportunist politicians and power hungry Generals are responsible for that. If Pakistan is bankrupt ,even all the loans from IMF, World Bank, Paris Club, London Club, overt and covert aid from US, and repeated refinancing of the debt have not worked because all that aid was stolen by Pakistani elite, politicians and Army Generals. Today we see POLITICAL FAILURE in Pakistan because of The military coups, suspension of constitutional law, murders of Bhuttos , reveal no evidence of a modern political culture or democracy and none of the politicians of this country were sincere to help growing that political culture in Pakistan, Pakistani politicians have no agenda for growth or development; no plans for health and education meaningful. Most of the Politicians lack qualifications, experience and even commitment to tackle the problems of the Country. Politics and power dominates their agenda and real issues of poverty, illiteracy and disease do not fare in their book. Anyone who expects them to lead the country to peace and prosperity must be dreaming. The representatives of the people need to pass certain tests of eligibility. Character, ability, a sense of responsibility and experience are necessary ingredients of that eligibility, but in Pakistani Politics we don’t see that,they are all failed politicans,FAZZULAH is a terrorist not a politician,in Pakistan Islam has been hijacked by SAUDI WAHABIISM,Saudis have financed the building of so many madrasas, which have filled the vacuum left by the collapse of state education. The Pakistani government could finance schools that taught Pakistanis to respect their own religious traditions, rather than buying fleets of American F-16 fighters and handing over education to the Saudis.

NAWAZ HYPOCRITE
Nawaz Shariff loves to destabilize democracy and there is a long list of other politicians who share his fantasy of playing ugly role in failing Democracy. Nawaz Shariff is keep talking about Justice Iftikhar but he forgets that he was involved in attacking supreme court of Pakistan, on the other hand I think it will it be better for Justice Ifthikah to join PML(N) OR make his own political party because I am pretty sure that if Nawaz gets power, he will not reinstate him because Nawaz hands are not clean either. Nawaz Sharif is a big hypocrite. He had the Supreme Court physically attacked on 28th Nov 1997 but is now standing up for the independence of the judiciary just because he hates Musharraf. And another thing is that whatever these politicians want becomes the solution to everything. They wanted democracy, it was the "solution to everything". Now they want judiciary, it is the "solution to everything". Nawaz Sharif , talks of independence of judiciary but before doing that ,at least he should eliminate the culprits of Supreme court attack case from his party. A few months ago he categorically said the reinstatement of the judges is the most crucial issue facing the people of Pakistan. (Actually, I'm pretty sure the food and electricity crises are the most crucial issues facing the people of Pakistan. Then comes the threat of militancy and terrorism. You've got to put inflation in there too. Pakistani politicians have double standards, lets put it this way, Nawaz was after the daughter of chief justice Abdul Hameed Dogar but Nawaz forgets that Rules were bent in 1991 to admit Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Mariam Nawaz to King Edward Medical College in Lahore . According to reports Mariam was a grade-B student in matric and FSc and scored 580 out of 850, and 767 out of 1,100 in the two exams in 1989 and 1991 respectively , Clearly, she did not qualify for admission to the KEMC on open merit. She was admitted to the Army Medical College in Rawalpindi and was migrated after only a month to the KEMC, which she left without completing her degree it was ‘almost comical’ that having done something similar, the Sharifs were pointing fingers at the chief justice. PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif wants CJ Abdul Hameed Dogar to resign over allegation that his daughter received undue favor for admission in a private medical college, but he is yet to offer an apology for his own daughter Mariam actually receiving such favor for enrolment in a public sector medical college in 1991 ,I am not defending what DOGER done but all this corrupt Pakistani elite is in same boat. Its also interesting that Nawaz called Zardari worst then Musharaff but Nawaz forgets that his mentor (Dictaor Zia) was the worst dictator in Pakistan and he is no less than him. How will you promote the merit, Mr.Nawaz, you have yourself reached here on Zia's lap .We are fool to expect you anything. Mr Nawaz Sharif, people of Pakistan beg you to please not to destabilize country. People know in any hour of trial, you have your Palace and business in Saudi Arabia and you will flee in minutes but Pakistanis do not have any other place to live. Please stop playing your heinous designs and let us save PAKISTAN . So called politicians likeNawaz Sharif ,survive in politics based on their wealth and fudel background, lets not forget that majority of these politicians forefathers betrayed their nation and helped ENGLISH masters to rule Indian subcontinent . When Nawaz was leaving for Saudia Arabia, where was his pain for people of Pakistan or even of people of his own party. He left them all in crisis to have holidays in Saudi Palaces. He has been financing so called Jihadis and took funds from OSAMA to run his election campaign. In fact his political father Zia has laid all seeds of religious fanaticism. ,Benazir has lost her life ,even Gen Musharaff narrowly escaped two life attempts, ANP leadership suffered, but Do you know any leader of PML(N) to whom militants have posed life threats? If now after his political summersault he begins to believe that the problem lies in our home, Why didn’t he join hands with Zardari to crush out the militants? An indeed example of hypocrisy Nawaz Sharif .

here is a broad (plausible framework):

(a) Musharuff was able to bring in US $$$$ and distribute it. As long as he was able to do it (and the price was right (sounds rather like a shady TV game) he was fine. When things went wrong
(b) BB stepped in and did a deal with the US and the local pols. Unfortuantely she was killed.
(c) between Zardari and Nawaz - there was an agreeemtn - but the agreement was not the paper zeemax sites - but an agreement on the $$$ zardari will bring in from the US and the distribution.
(d) something went wrong - either Zardari could not bring the required number of $$$$$$$ (likely) and hence could distribuet the$$$$4 properly (likely since he kept most of it for himself andhis henchmen).
(e) Nawaz is out for blood. He cannot do a "long March" for the $$$$$. but the face saving thing was the Judge issue. Otherwise do you realy expect us to believe that Nawaz is a Great Champion of the Rule of the law :D:D
(f) works great for the Pakistani elite. the gullible foreigners beleive that the country is unstable. Pay the price. And the $$$$$$ roll in and distribution back to normal....nawaz gets his share.

This is nautanki at its best. Zardari is a cool hand at this game.....better than Musharuff. Nawaz cannot lead the show, he can only be a supporting character in the nautanki.


(thanks to Sadna for nautanki)

Long March is a fraud!

This event is another in a long line of nautanki by the pakistani elite to create an image of catastrophe.

Terror threat did not work, taliban threat what not, geopolitical arguments,....now this.

Something else must be happening(or going to happen), or the elite are trying to extract more money from the US.

This long march is a fraud, not worth the lives it is taking and will take. The only winners are the elite and their secret numbered swiss bank accounts.

Mullen says Kayani not in favor of ‘coup’
Updated at: 1325 PST, Friday, March 13, 2009
WASHINGTON: US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen said like Pervaiz Musharraf, General Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani not in favor of military coup.

In an interview to US television, Mullen said General Kayani is stanch supporter of democracy and does not want military coup in the country.

Admiral Mullen expressed concern over ongoing political crisis in Pakistan.

Pseudo issues galore

As usual Beena has raised a non issue, the potential for violence during the long march and its consequences. There has been a war going on in the fata, more than a million are displaced, paki soldiers are kidnapped and released in exchange for release of jihadis, marriot got bombed, benzir got killed...and the good part os no one cares in pakistan. I recall when the CJ visited karachi, more than a hunderde got klled by the atlaf group.

Crime and violence is the daily chapatti of a paki, and why is any one worried about it. It is only the make believe civil society that Beena is trying to create is worried.

For the paki give them the daily killings of the jihadic kind.

Mr. H and Dr Chima ... you are thinking right direction. More time, money and lifes are wasted in searching illusive " democracy". Trying to look for things which do not exist is great degree of "lafangebazi". As dr said before we do not need this tamasha of democracy what we need id decent dictector who has basics well stuffed in his brains. No Gen A, Y and Z and M are all right dictectors but they have no standing in rank of real good dictectors. Most decent near to rank was Gen Z all others were of F Grades.
Good decent dictector never aspires to be loved by people. This fatal desire to be loved is starts down grading decent dictetor. He should be harsh and should not bother about "public relationship". What is point in being mr. D and aspire to be get elected. Decent dictector knows and never aspires to be loved but must aspire to be feared. He should not interact with people and be more secretive and that adds to fear of unknown. On an average he needs to weed bad apples and liquidate few just to show whoo is boss. We are in bad situation as like tiger can not eat vegetarian sandwiches we can not eat democry as fodder and we never will get decent mr. big D. Problem with our third rate mr. D is so pathetic they try to appease ordinary people and wants to be loved. Mr. Z is not feared , only those mountain men fortified with american trained Zmax type with his neck chopping machine have chance. REal big D knows not love but he knows fear is the key and he will never lower himself hoping people will like him.
With out mr. D ( Decent dictetor) thngs appear bleak.
Good day

From today's Editorial in Dawn Newspaper:

"Heralded as a national long march for the restoration of the deposed judges, Thursday’s showing in Karachi and Quetta has cast doubts on the ‘national’ tag of the movement. In both provincial capitals no more than a few hundred lawyers gathered and support from the opposition parties was noticeably scarce."

Beena for God sake....stop this NFP like right wing ascendency analysis.....you are actually trying to avoid any criticism of PPP. When on performance basis nothing appreciative can be said about PPP, you come up with "right wing" analysis.
The problem is simple: mistakes of liberals result in right wing gains. That is why those with ba secular mindset have to be watchful and critical over what the liberal mainstream parties are doing. I remember seeing your article when Zardari gate crashed and totally bluffed his way into Presidency. You actually wrote a supportive article, actually blaming critics of nurturing a "male chauvanistic" and class ridden attitude towards Zardari because he has "feminine" attributes and belongs to lower class. Frankly no one is a fool. Now barely six months into his presidency, we are seeing the results.... Way back in 1960s when PPP was being formed, my family was a very part of it. We had close ties to ZAB. That was a party of intellectuals, liberals and above all the common man.....This party is a far cry from that....its time wrapped in Bhutto cult and now hijacked by a croony and disgusting person like Asif Zardari..... We can't blame its demise on just right wing chauvanism and conspiracies of "establishment". We have to open our eyes and learn to criticize it.......because when such a maninstream orginally left leaning party goes astray, liberalism loses. The right wing strenght comes on the heels of sins committed by PPP and Zardari.....lets face it

I think it is not a second chance for this nation but it is the second chance for corrupt, pro-western ruling elite. God forbid if this time it fails then there is nothing on this plant that will save them from the march of guillotines and firing squads.

But nonetheless all praise goes to the lawyers and citizens of Pakistan who are now standing tall in front of a corrupt, american-backed puppet regime of crooks, thugs and murderers. La'anat on napak fouj for installing this curse upon us. May all these madarchods rot in hell for selling this nation so cheap to their western masters. La'anat on these coward surrender monkeys for inflicting such misery, shame and pain upon all Pakistan because of their greed. Death be upon them bhenchods.

After seeing long March, I am once again hopeful for the future of Pakistan. Pakistanis are still alive, they are not dead.

This is just the beginning of real democracy.

And Please,some of you educate yourself on the real matter. Do you have any idea? why these highly qualified Pakistani attornies are on the streets?

It has got nothing to do with sharifs ministry. The whole idea is to reinstate real democracy via real judiciary in Pakistan. If, Pakistan won't have transparent and honest judiciary, then this country has no right even to exist. This is equal to committing suicide. Pakistan needs strong judiciary which can be independent of their decisions irrespective of parties.

Sharifs, Imran Khan and others along with Aitzaz hussain deserve all my respect to give this sacrifice for the sake of Poor Pakistanis.....and their future generations...

I salute all these attornies for opening up the doors for real democracy for the people of Pakistan....

Go Zardari Go...
When Nawaz Sharif supported this corrupt, scum bag , evil and blood thirsty dictator King of Pakistan, Zardari ( who is not even qualified for a Peon post) to be the King of this unlucky failed state ( once upon a time called Pakistan), I was so depressed , disappointed and hopeless about Pakistan that I stopped calling myself , Pakistani.

I was ashamed to call my self Pakistani....I knew this scum bag Zardari doesn't have the character and morality to be the national leader. This man is a gift of BB for the poor and miserable people of Pakistan to make them more miserable and to throw them under the bus.

This Man, King Zardari neither has the wisdom , nor a political intellect to lead Pakistan.

But, Nawaz Sharif and others did this crime to select an incompetent man just for their own selfish motives....

We already predicted about Zardari what we're seeing now....Nothing new...
All Pakistanis brought this to themselves in the form of this demon, Zardari....

The only solution to Pakistan's crisis is to ban PPP forever and specially Bhutto family.....
We don't want anyone of Bhutto clan to be the next PM or King of Pakistan...Period!!!
PPP is the biggest scum bag which should be flushed in the toilet along with Talibans, Jamaat-e-Islami, and all Islamic extremists......

So, Pakistanis , why are you doing all this Long March? You got what you wanted....
