The Pakistan Affairs: The Enemies of the People

On Jan 8,
2024, when Qazi Isa, assisted by two of his sucklings, divested PTI of its
electoral symbol, for all practical purposes he ruled the most popular
political party in Pakistan, out of the electoral contest to be held on Feb 8,
2024. This was a body blow to Pakistan.
He is one
of the lesser touts in a galaxy of more glittering ones, but his stamp and
signatures were essential to the delegitimisation of the only force capable of
holding the country together in times of great strains pulling it apart. By
doing what he has done, he has pushed Pakistan to the same brink where it stood
in 1971, before it shattered.
The
difference between 1971 and today is that in 1971 the intelligence assessment
went wrong. They did not expect any party to win an outright majority, which
would throw up a fractured parliament. And a fractured parliament would allow
Yahya Khan's boozing party to continue uninterrupted. But this was not what
happened. So this time, when it is so clear that Imran Khan shall wipe the
others out, no intelligence assessment was considered necessary. To ensure
therefore, that there wont be any risk of interference with the
"Fauji" party, they have decided to bastardize the entire electoral
process BEFORE the elections, rather than wait for the catastrophe and begin
applying stitches after the results are in. And towards this end, they have put
the most popular party out of the contest.
This is
what happens when people who have never peeped out of the box, begin thinking
out of it. I wonder if they have thought how they will sell such a brazenly
illegitimate election abroad, and to a highly charged and resentful population
at home. Nothing less than a rise in civil unrest, on the one side, and the
ongoing insurgency on the other, should be expected from the path they have
taken. This will eventually take a lurching country to its second and final
break-up.
Only idiots
should expect different results from the administration of the same poison to
different victims. After the dismemberment of Pakistan, the feelings among
younger officers varied from anger to rage. Those gripped with rage fell into
the Attock Conspiracy. Though their meetings often fell into cacophony, they
were very clear about one thing: that if the generals who created the
conditions for the 1971 War thought themselves deserving of their privileges,
they were surely also deserving of being indicted for the defeat and surrender
which came in its wake. Therefore a general who could not prove that he raised
an objection against being pushed into that disastrous war, ought to be held
guilty of complicity in taking the country into the disaster.
But there
was the other view as well; that planning to overthrow the government and then
moving to trials of the generals was a conceit based on the assumption of
success.
Qazi Faiz
Isa is an enemy of the people moved by malice. That this is malice aforethought
is beyond question. Thus being a cog in a conspiracy against the state makes
his judgments invaluable because they open a window into the thinking in GHQ,
which we have no way of scrutinizing.
Intimately
connected with Qazi is Sikander Sultan Raja. A cog in a different end of this
machine is Lt Gen Nazir Butt of NAB, who orchestrated Imran's arrest, which led
to the May 9 False Flag. And then there is Justice Amir Farooq and Judges
Humayun Dullavar and Abul Hasat Zulqarnain. And coordinating terror in the
whole of Punjab is Mohsin R. Naqvi, its infamous Chief Minister and his IG
Police, Usman Anwar [remember Zille Shah?] in partnership with IG Islamabad,
Akbar Nasir Khan.
These are
enemies of the people and the state. And there are more. They must never be
forgotten. They are responsible for debauching Pakistan's present and ruining
its future. They rule the roost today. But time changes. We cannot talk about
tomorrow. But the least even the most helpless Pakistani must keep doing is to
keep updating lists of the enemies of the people.
Their day
of atonement should not be found wanting of charges when it dawns, as it
certainly will. At long last the blackguards should pay for their crimes
against the people.
