Ever since I started observing Politics in Pakistan, I saw me and my family supporting Pakistan Muslim League. We were always against People’s Party and now the dislike has become even more intense during current Zardari regime. Till few days back I was anxiously waiting for tenure of current Government to end for Mian brother’s Muslim League. Now I am confused about possible effectiveness of PML(N).
I am confused between Pakistan Tehreek Insaf (Imran Khan) and Pakistan Muslim League(PML-N).I have started feeling that Imran Khan has shown great team management skills in whatever he has achieved so far. He comes across as a person who sets very tough targets for himself and than steadily works towards achieving them. Like most of the American Presidents ,he excelled and became a young achiever in a profession before joining Politics.According to number of sources ,he had a chance to hold P.M office through care taker government or during Musharaf regime but he refused.According to Wikileaks he is the only main stream Politician who is not under American influence.
Initially I believed that PML-N is in a better position to improve economy. Mian brothers are businessmen so they know how to develop infrastructure and boost economic growth but when I look back at their performance in the last three years than I feel disappointed. Before Mian Shehbaz Sharif took over as C.M of Punjab ,Pervez Elahi had established RESCUE 1122,Traffic Warden systems,Free education(though all of it came with a packaged deal of corruption) but during his current tenure Shehbaz Sharif has not displayed any achievement which can be considered this effective.PML-N supporters argue that atleast Shehbaz Sharif did not remove what Pervez Elahi had established but they cant claim much as far as any new developments are concerned. There is a big question mark about effectiveness of Danish public school systems when there is a huge education related infrastructure already available which needs to be rejuvenated.It is true that current Punjab government is under great pressure from terrorism and offensive politics from People Party(also according to Transparency International Punjab has lowest corruption ratings amongst all provinces) but failure to manage Sugar mills(about seven of them belong to Mian Shareef Family),Poor management of Young doctors association,Handling of PCS officers are a few examples of management which is reactive rather than proactive.
Couple of days back when I was getting irritated about tax deduction from my salary than I came to know that Imran Khan paid Rs 1.8 million tax as compared to NO Tax by Gillani and Zardari and Rs 5,000 of Mian Nazaz Sharif. I feel that no matter how good relations Mian Nawaz Sharif has with the Gulf and Asian belt but if such a billionaire is not ready to pay tax than how can he be honest about issues and concerns of Pakistani Tax payers who are paying Tax without any social security system.I feel this is time to try someone new to keep the hope alive rather than getting disappointed by the people who are in a habit of justifying failures
No matter what happens, Imran Khan is no way going to be ever leading Pakistan despite many people wanting him in power. The current politicians are earning so much money, drying Pakistan out, do you honestly think that they are going to let someone in power who actually pays taxes. NEVER....
ReplyDeletePakistan politics is not as simple as it appears. However, I personally favour Imran Khan and his party due to their clean record. Some people argue that unless he comes in power nothing can be said about his governance ability and honesty as advocated by most of us.
ReplyDeleteThis is my opinion or estimation that in coming elections he would get most votes and may appear as a strong party at par with PML (N), PPP, PML(Q) etc.
I think we should votew for him as in present circumstances he stand out amongst the rest from so many different aspects.
All the best

Liked these lines of yours..."I feel this is time to try someone new to keep the hope alive rather than getting disappointed by the people who are in a habit of justifying failures"....
ReplyDeleteInstead of concluding that those who are in power and gaining personal benefits wont let anyone fair enough to come in, V(as said by u everytime) should stand for the one who is fair or seems to be one...I personally would be voting for him(Imran Khan) and we should encourage others to do so..

Hello, this is Abdul Qavi Khan.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, i believe that Imran Khan is a better PERSON than zardari and nawaz brothers and all the rest, but it's only the 'better person' part that i am sure about. Whether or not he would prove to be a better leader, i am still not sure. His ideas sound very utopian, and while it might be a good thing for a country that is anticipating revolution, it does seem very very impractical when we see Imran using the conventional techniques of obtaining the power. Moreover, it is very obvious that Imran Khan does not stand a chance of winning the election, firstly, because his support comes primarily from the literate class of pakistan, which constitutes a very small part of the population and secondly because he is a one-man-show. After Imran, who do we have in his party whom we can count on? What guarantee do we have that PTI would not turn out to be like PPP after the death of Z.A.Bhutto?
Imran is indeed an extremely charming figure in pakistani politics, he talks well, he has great analytical skills, he dresses well, he knows how to connect to people, how to appeal to their emotions, but is he politically mature? We can not be sure. He makes pakistani politics look alot simpler than it actually is.
