How We, the People got to Disdained Present?

The new, educated and proactive generations of Pakistanis wonder why the country and its systems of governance are dysfunctional, corrupt and self-destructive. Why over 75 years we have been fighting

The contemporary trajectory of politics spells out the unthinkable wave of chaos and mismanagement by few generals and corrupt judiciary, shaping a dark future for the present and future-making. Pakistan is fast becoming a dead-ended entity of moral, political and intellectual landscape. Truth telling is maligned and persecuted by the ruling elite. The British changed the sub-continent in 90 years, but Pakistan after 75 years has no viable system of political governance. Its home-grown enemies and traitors like ZA Bhutto, Ms. Bhutto, General Yahya Khan, Zardari, Sharifs and General Musharraf were more harmful than foreign enemies. These impostors are seen as scum floating on a torrent. Pakistan lives in limbo with a legitimate system of political governance and accountability and system of law and justice.

Nations cease to exist when educated people of new generations who could have replaced the old and redundant guards leave the country and never return to build the nation. Young educated generations embark on migrating to Europe or America and never come back. It is an irresistible necessity of time and truth that those in power must be warned and listen to voices of reason and political necessity for change and truth for restraint and civilized behavior.

When would we learn about our wrong thinking, wrong priorities and wrong actions? This current state of Pakistani affairs reflects a complete societal breakdown and march towards self-annihilation. Despite hollow claims of the generals, no moral and ethical behavior is seen in the sudden and inexplicable plunge to human wickedness highlighting the affairs of the besieged nation.

People Won the National Freedom and the Generals Destroyed it

Most dreadful tragedies have infallibly resulted in victimizing the masses. Today, the nation is crippled with catastrophic events of insecurity, mismanagement and socioeconomic and political exploitation. The Pakistani ruling elite and the Generals are not open to reason and accountability. They are engaged in systematic subversion of national freedom, security and future-making.They cannot realize the imperatives of hopes and expectations of a new generation of educated and morally and intellectually competent people. Future belongs to the new generation of educated people, not to the naive and obsolete Generals. They view “power” and “Pakistan” as their own property. The authoritarian leaders played with its destiny and future without being questioned. They are the wrong people, with wrong thinking and doing the wrong things. If there was any fair system of accountability, some of the Generals and accomplice politicians could well have faced firing squads for their crimes against the nation. Are the Generals waiting for another mishap of formative history? Please see “British Colonialism and How India and Pakistan Lost Freedom.” Global Research and Uncommon Thought Journal: 1/01/22. In “Pakistan Leaders or Criminals”, you will discover how Bhuttos, Zardari, Sharifs and General Musharaf – these thugs stole billions and billions to own properties in the UK, France and Spain. The Thinking People of the New Generation view them as the most corrupt, crime riddled monsters who will never come to terms with reason and honesty to reflect on their own wrongdoings. They never imagined–how the present and future generations will remember them?

Was Imran Khan a Victim of Political Vengeance?

The Generals and Sharif family wanted to dehumanize Khan and his PTI organization and for the last two years, they bent on destroying his political integrity under false charges of corruption. Pakistan’s failure to hold any credibility of the law and justice system is widely observed by all concerned. Although Imran Khan spoke of moral and intellectual values and nation-building, but he did very little to support that agenda. He did not kill anybody nor robbed any banks and was keen to have legal accountability for the stolen wealth and killings by Sharif brothers, Bhuttos, and Zardari and others. But political governance was infested with corrupt figures of the past. Tyranny is always powerless and transitory. Often when sadistic politicians cannot solve one set of problems, they come up with other naïve ideas to create more critical problems to distract the masses. Khan has been imprisoned under false pretext of political vengeance and to pave the way for another opening for the crime riddled Sharif family. What is the solution to the morally and intellectually sickening political culture of Pakistani politics? It is hard to imagine that General Assam Munir and his few sadistic partners including the Sahrfi family would create an environment of free and fair elections. The law and justice system has already collapsed and Pakistan could fall into another conspiracy for its disintegration. They would hold fake elections and do their best to see the return of the Sharif family corresponding to the geopolitical agenda of the inept generals. If the Generals and Sharif have any sense of history, reasoning, and accountability, they should not be part of any conspiracy against the people of Pakistan.They could well face the same fate as all conspiratorial and traitors should do – court martial and firing squads to clean the floating scum.

History will judge the imposters by their actions, not by their claims to serve the nation.

Photographs of Imran Khan’s cramped, windowless prison cell have raised accusations that the Pakistani government is lying about his treatment in jail.

Supporters of the former prime minister have accused the Pakistani government of lying about his treatment in prison after photographs emerged of the cramped cell he is being kept in.

The government sent the pictures to the Supreme Court after Mr Khan, the cricketer-turned politician who was jailed on corruption charges in August last year, complained that he was being kept in solitary confinement and had no access to his lawyers.

Mr Khan and his supporters have long claimed that the cases against him were politically motivated. Earlier this week he was acquitted of leaking state secrets, but will remain in jail because of his conviction in another case.

Mr Khan and his third wife Bushra Bibi, a faith healer, are both serving prison sentences after a court ruled that their marriage in 2018 was un-Islamic and therefore illegal, because it came too soon after her divorce.

“Khan is now being kept in this tiny jail room, with no facilities, just for getting married,” Mr Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party said. 

“As a former PM, Imran Khan is being denied his fundamental human rights, and basic facilities he’s entitled to by all this. History will remember this unprecedented fascism in Pakistan,” the PTI added.

All that’s left for them now is to murder me

The pictures released by the government showed a small room, with a basic bed, a desk and a bare concrete floor. There appears to be no window or natural light of any kind.

Zulfi Bukhari, a spokesman for Mr Khan, said that, as a former prime minister, Mr Khan was entitled to “an A-class cell” with a helper.

“Mr Khan never did complain about being kept in a facility with no access to natural light or a window,” he told The Telegraph.

Even in jail, Mr Khan remains a potent political force in Pakistan, and his supporters reacted with outrage at the images of the cell.

“Utterly disgraceful that someone is being forced to live in a horrendous 6×8 prison cell over a false allegation,” said Sadiya Mukhtar, a PTI supporter.

“Khan is a prince, who used to live in castles, and is now facing all the cruelties, brutalities, and barbarism for us. He is facing the situation with great determination. I want to tell him the whole nation is indebted to him,” she said.

Haniya Majeed, another Khan supporter, said: “Such unjust treatment for a leader who has tirelessly served the nation in every field and not just as a politician. This isolation is seen as a tactic to break his spirit and limit his influence.”

She added: “Khan is my leader, and I am proud of him,” she said.
