New Provinces for Pakistan, “need of the hour”.

The voices for dividing Punjab province recently are getting louder and louder. But do we really need to do it, what will be the consequences for this and what will be the advantages. I dont see any sane discussion going on the bigger picture. My personal view is that many people are calling it for their own personal petty agenda and they are not voicing it in the interest of Pakistan.

But if we think with an unbiased view and above our petty self interest, and truly for the well being of Pakistan than we can come to this conclusion that,

1. Pakistan has definitely developed but not uniformly, many smaller cities got over looked (not only in Punjab but in all provinces).

2. Facilities were not provided equally to the people of all regions,

3. Lot of potential is getting wasted.

4. The politics of language, color, breed is still strongest in Pakistan and we have not been able to go above and beyond, punjabi, pakhtoon, sindhi, balochi nationalism.

Dividing Punjab on linguistic basis will add one more nationalism (“saraiki”) to the already afore mentioned list of nationalisms, which is destructive for our unity & development.

Also Pakistan has at least 32 languages. Punjabi is spoken by 44% of Pakistan (almost 90 million) and chitrali is spoken is in just one district (less 0.5 million). So this will not only further divide as a nation, but will give rise to more Big Brother, small brother politics & economic growth will be further hampered, as many of the linguistic based provinces will not be economically viable.<

But i think if all the provinces are divided in the best interest of Pakistan, then many benefits can be achieved.

1. More provinces means more cities will be developed and all the population load which is coming into either Karachi or Lahore can be reduced.

2. More provinces means more people will be empowered to choose their destiny.

3. Better distribution of resources of Pakistan.

4. It may give rise to Pakistani nationalism then the punjabi, sindhi, pashto, balochi nationalism, if the division is not based on languages.

5. It probably will allow the politician to seriously work for their people, once they dont have big brother “Punjab” to blame for everything.

These are the reason which compelled me and my friend (more work done by him) to come up with a new provincial division for Pakistan. This is a suggestion and all and every input which comes with the sole interest of betterment of Pakistan will be appreciated.

We divided Pakistan into 12 provinces and federal capital Islamabad. Mostly the existing districts are not divided except for in couple of places. apart from above mentioned reasons, railway links, road network, rivers and canals flow were also considered while recommending these new provinces. Although we are not experts on these fields so we put lot of common sense and and more importantly the interest of Pakistan while making these divisions.

Also the name of the new provinces are not based on cast, language or one identity in most of the cases. These names have some historic or geographic perspective. Present names of all the provinces except Sindh do not have much historic background.

Many critical issues of Pakistan like Kalabagh Dam are not resolved due to the Sindhi-punjabi politics. Once new proposed provinces are made, many of these issues will be resolved amicably as indus river would not be under “takht-e-Lahore” rule. Most of the proposed provinces are linguistically heterogeneous & geographically strongly bonded. Many smaller languages will also get chance to flourish because majority languages will not be in absolute (2/3rd) majority to over shadow minority languages as in the present provinces.

Below are the suggested new Provinces for Pakistan.

Prosperous Pakistan

Now a bit details about these Provinces:

Cholistan Province
Capital: Bahawalpur
Linguistic Composition: Saraiki, Punjabi, urdu
Districts: Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Rahim Yar Khan
Current Estimated Population: 10 million

Logic: Geographically on the right side of the Satluj river. Linguistically heterogeneous. Currently under developed & under utilized. Much farther from the existing capital Lahore. New capital Bahawalpur will be in the middle of the province. It is already linked with N5 National Highway and main railway line and has a high court bench.

Ravi Province
Capital: Lahore
Linguistic Composition: Punjabi, urdu
Districts:
Lahore, Kasur, Okara, Nankana sb, Sheikhupura, Gujranwala, Hafizabad, Sialkot, Narowal, Faisalabad (partly)
Current Estimated Population: 36.4 Million

Logic: Right side of Chanab

Gandhara Province
Capital: Joharabad (District khusaab)
Linguistic Composition: Potohari, saraiki, punjabi, pashto,
Districts: Rawalpindi (partly), jehlum, attock, chakwal, gujrat, mandi bahuddin, Sargodha, Khusaab, Jhang, Mianwali, bhakkar, laiyya, DG Khan (partly)
Current Estimated Population: 24 Million

Logic: under developed western punjab area, would get great benefit from developing new cities, like Joharabad. Joharabad is in the center of Province. North of Joharabad is potohari, East is Punjab and South is Saraiki dominant districts. Therefore the new provincial capital will be the meeting point of all three rich culture and hence will be the torch bearer of development and homogeneity for this province. The new capital city Jauharabad will not face water shortages as river Jehlum passes by it.

Panjnad Province
Capital: Multan
Linguistic Composition: Saraiki, Punjabi, urdu, Balochi
Districts: Multan, Lodharan, Khanewal, Sahiwal, Vehari, Pakpattan, Faisalabad (partly), TT Singh, Muzaffargarh, DG Khan (Partly), Rajanpur
Estimated Population: 24M

Logic: Multan is already the hub of cultural and political center for southern Punjab. Panjnad Province will become focus of agriculture and dairy products. Multan is also in the middle of the proposed Panjnad province and is well connected with near by towns and cities and rest of Pakistan. Proposed Panjnad Province will have significant punjabi province in north eastern districts, urdu in the urban areas, Balochi in western districts & Saraik in central & western districts.

Bolan Province
Capital: Quetta,
Linguistic Composition: Pashto, Balochi, Brahvi
Districts: Quetta, Ziarat, Mastung, Qila Abdullah, Pashin, Lora Lai, Barkhan, Musakhel, Qila Saifullah, Zhob, Shirani, Harnai, Sibi, Kolhu, Dera Bugti, Jaffarabad, Nasirabad, Jhal magsi, Kacchi (Bolan)
Estimated Population: 6 Million

Logic: The Bolan province will approximately be same as British Balochistan of Colonial era. veteran leaders from balochistan, like ex-Prime Minister from Balochistan, Mir Zafar Ullah Khan Jamali, Mehmood Khan Achakzai has also once expressed their approval in dividing balochistan in Quetta & Kalat division of 1970s. The heterogenous Bolan Province is amalgam of Pashtun, Balochi & Brahvi culture. Quetta has representation from all three cultures.

Makran Province
Capital: Khuzdar
Linguistic Composition: Balochi, Brahvi,
Districts: Khuzdar, Kalat, Noshki, Chaghi, Kharan, Washuk, Panjgor, Turbat, Gawadar, Awaran, Lasbela
Estimated Population: 3 M

Logic: Makran Province is one of the richest areas of Pakistan with minerals resources. It also has Gawadar Port, Gadani ship breaking yard. Saindak & Rekodek are also located in this province. Proposed Provincial Capital, Khuzdar, is already well connected with Quetta, Karachi, Larkana through RCD road & M8 Motorway. Within proposed Province all major cities like Lasbella, Turbet, Gawadar & Kalat are also connected with khuzdar.

Khyber Province
Capital: Peshawar
Linguistic Composition: Pashto, Saraiki
Districts: Peshawar, Noshera, Charsadda, Kohat, Karak, Hangu, Laki marwat, Bannu, DI Khan, Tank
Estimated Population: 9.75 Million

Logic: Proposed Kalabagh Dam will benefit southern districts of proposed khyber Province, Tank & DI Khan at the cost of some land of Noshera District. Royalty from the Kalabagh & Munda Dam & also the natural gas resorvoir of Karak will make the province economically viable.

Abaseen Province
Capital: Mardan
Linguistic Composition: Pashto, Hindko, Kohistani, Chitrali
Districts: Mardan, Sawabi, Haripur, Abottabad, Manshera, Torghar, Batagram, Kohistan, Shangla, Sawat, Bonair, Dir bala, Dir payin, Malakand, Chitral
Estimated Population: 13 M

Logic: Comprosing of the northern areas, this province have the potential to truly exploit tourism industry. Tarbella & Bhasha Dam would provide substantial revenue stream for the development of the province and has high potential to generate hydro-electricity. Mardan is chosen as the capital, because, firstly it is in planar district and is accessible all year around from both Hazara & Malakand divisions.

Khorasan Province
Capital: Torkham
Linguistic Composition: Pashto,
Districts: Bajur, Mohmand, Torkham (Khyber Agency), Kurram, Orakzai, North waziristan, South waziristan
Estimated Population: 5 Million

Logic: Making FATA as a province will start the era of economic growth and amalgamation of the region with the rest of the country. It will also help to remove the sense of depravity in the people.

Sindh uttar Province
Capital: Sukkar
Linguistic Composition: Sindhi
Districts: Sukkar, Ghotki, Khairpur, Noshero feroz, shikarpur, Larkana, Kambar, Kashmor, Jacobabad, Dadu, Jamshoro (partly)
Estimated Population: 13.5 M

Logic: Other than Hyderabad, interior sindh is also one of the most deprived areas of the country, which even after having potential in many different fields is backward and under developed. Sukkar is already the economic & cultural center of the northern sindh and have full potential to become one of the key economic city of Pakistan. Also it is well connected with Karachi, Quetta & Northern Pakistan through road, air & railway.

Sindh Dakshin Province
Capital: Hyderabad
Linguistic Composition: Sindhi, urdu
Districts: Karachi, Jamshoro (partly), Hyderabad, Matiari, TM Khan, Tandu alayar, mirpur khas, umar kot, tharparkar, badin, thatta, nawabshah, sanghar
Estimated Population: 26 Million.

Logic: Third largest city in 1951 & the historic capital of sindh in pre-colonial era, has lost its glory by being overshadowed by Karachi. Also it is the convergence point of Sindhi & Urdu cultures, two main cultures of the proposed province. Also Karachi is over burdened by being the port & only industrial city in southern Pakistan. By shifting capital to hyderabad will allow Hyderabad to flourish & reduce population inflow in Karachi.

Karakoram Province
Capital: Gilgit
Linguistic Composition: Shina, Burushaski, Balti
Districts: gilgit, Diamir, Astor, skardu, hunza-nagar, ghanchi, girghiz,
Estimated Population:1.8 M

Logic: By making the current Gilgit-Baltistan as a Province will give them equal rights as the rest of the pakistan & start new era of economic & cultural development in the area.

Federal Capital,
Islamabad + Rawalpindi City.
Current Estimated Population: 2.5 Million

Logic: Rawalpindi city is already surrounded by Islamabad from 3 sides. So making it part of Islamabad is a natural choice.

Benefits:
1. The biggest benefit from these new provinces will be the development of new cities. Currently the population inflow is only in Karachi and some cities of central Punjab. Cities like Multan, Bahawalpur, Sukkar, Hyderabad, Nawabshah, Sahiwal & others, while having potential to become a modern cities, remains under developed as the economic growth is polarized on Karachi & central Punjab. By developing new provinces many cities will get chance to flourish.

2. The proposed provinces do not have large population difference like currently between Punjab & Balochistan.

3. Smaller provinces will help people to reach provincial capital easily. Also it will ease the management of the province.

 

Its not the system, Its the people that defines it

With the slogan of Change we are hearing daily and statements like we will change the system. This system of corruption and discrimination will be eliminated by us. These beautiful statements sound wonderful to us, But seriously do they have any meanings.?

Let me say that Hazrat Umer (RA) use to have governors. We also have the governors. In a way system is same. Governor based system. So where is the problem.?

Problem is in people, the people who are on these posts & positions dont have the character which we need. The people get corrupted by power. In the end the problem is with the parents. They have failed to raise children of high ethical, moral values and truthful, just & honest character. 

I personally believe we dont need a new system, we need People of honor, dignity and character to lead us. Democracy, Dictatorship, Kingship is not what matters in the end. Its like that a patient dies because he dont want to take allopathy medicine because he believed homeopathy is the right medical field. I have seen when someone is sick he will take or go to any length or any alternate medicine if someone gives a hope to him. Because what matters in the end is person want to be healthy again. Similarly we need to prosper and progress and be top of the world again and system means nothing. 

People of Pakistan and public need to realize that we need people of character, dignity, honesty, justice and high standards to lead us not and that should be the only criteria. I believe Pakistan has a very strong system in place, our students, our players, our scientist with all the discrimination have worked outstandingly  What we need is just to end this discrimination and let excel together. 

 

Big Slogans, Small People, Little Character, Zero Intention — Welcome Election 2013 (PAK)

As the time for next general Election in Pakistan is drawing near, the battle for premiership is getting harsher and bitter. Every day there are louder allegations, dirtier words, hateful language not only between the leaders and possible candidates of election but also between the supporters of different political parties in the public.

Although i m a regular news follower but lately i have stopped watching talk shows and cut down on my news reading time too. Because it was only giving causing my blood pressure to rise and nothing else. In all this i recently by chance heard a clip of Maulana Tariq Jameel on Hazrat Umer-e-Farooq (RA) and it really made me shed some tears. WHERE ARE WE STANDING?

Today we have leader starting from Imran Khan, whose answer to every question starts with an allegation on Nawaz Sharif as if he is sitting on his tail. Next we have Nawaz Sharif, whose every answer starts with cursing Musharraf. Come Next we have PPP who have got nothing better than to bad mouth judiciary for highlighting their corruption. Then we have these second level of Parties including MQM, ANP, JUI and many more who are blaming everyone else while being some what in power.

I will just share two small incidents of Hazrat Umer (RA) and wrap this up. He is going to take the keys of the one of the greatest city on Jerusalem. And how is he going, he on the foot with shoes in his hand and dirt on his clothes cuz he slipped in some mud puddle. The generals of Islamic army comes to him and asked him that kindly change the clothes, the servant or PA who is on the camel’s back ask him to kindly sit on the camel and he will pull the camel. But what he said. “The Dignity we have got is not because of clothes but because of Islam” Meaning that because of the islamic principles of honesty, justice and truthfulness and nothing else.

Once some perfume came in during the capturing of Iran in Madinah. which needed to be distributed among the people. He asked who will divide and distribute and his wife said to him that she will divide it and distribute it. He ignored her. He asked again till he found some one else willing to take up the job. Later in the home he said to his wife that it was not mine and it was spoils of war and while dividing it you would have smelled it and i was afraid that it could have been considered as unjust.

The point i m trying to take home in this post is that.. Those leader, who are truly leaders in every meaning of the word were so worried about their deeds and actions and today our leaders are busy finding faults and throwing allegation on others. As i said in some other post that once Hazrat Umer (RA) said to people that i want to say something so listen to me and a bedouin stood up and said we will not listen to you till you tell us how you have got this dress on yourself because it could not have been created by the piece of cloth every one got from spoils of war. Instead of saying or arguing or accusing him of anything. Hazrat Umer (RA) stopped talking and pushed his son and he stood up and said yes my father dress could not have been made from the piece of cloth everyone got, therefore i gifted him my piece of cloth too.

So simple, so amazing and so unthinkable in this world. Can we hope to see such a leader. I am hopeless seeing our current options of leader. I wish and i pray hard for this.

 

Traits of a Leader: Needed by Pakistan – My Opinion

As the election is drawing near and near, the bickering between the leaders and parties and each party supporters is getting louder and uglier. As i look around in my country i feel sad to see that i dont feel any party leader is able to take Pakistan to the road of progress and prosperity. These are just my views and you can sure disagree and feel that other traits are more important. 

Truthfulness (Sacha)

somebody asked Prophet (SAW) that can a momin be coward? Prophet (SAW) said yes a momin can be a coward. he asked about few other traits too, that can they be in a momin and Prophet (SAW) said yes momin can have these traits too. Lastly he asked if a momin can be a liar? and Prophet (SAW) said NO, Momin can never be a liar..!!

So obviously this is the first trait which i believe that a leader got to have, to take Pakistan on the road of prosperity and progress. But to achieve this a leader will need to cut down giving statements, cut down appearing on talk-shows. The more you speak the more chances you will be lying. I read somewhere (i dont have the source right now) that Quaid-e-Azam use to give very few statements, hardly couple of statements a month. So if a leader cut down on his statement, it will help him in avoiding saying lies and will have more meat in their statements.

Uniter:

This is the second most important trait for the leader in my view and the most important trait lacking in our leaders. This country has already been divided in so many segments and sect, that we need a leader who can unite this country and the people. This statement does not mean that he should Unite with the corrupt, immoral and traitor leaders. But he should unite all the segments of the society on the issues Pakistan is facing including finding a durable & fair solution for fighting corruption.

Right now we have leaders who give big statement calling opponents as chalees chor and making claims that they will hang opposition and bla bla bla but practically none of them will file the case against the corrupt politicians, rather they welcome them if they join them.  Nobody tries to bring back the corruption money. Nobody tries to fight corruption through justice. But every leader is ready to stand on the podium and do a blazing hot speech against his/her opponents. You ask them a question they will start replying by putting dirt on other and in the end you will be lucky to get an answer to your original question from them.

The problem it has created in my view is that the supporters of each significant party has gone an extra mile in creating more hatred and biasness against others and fragmenting the society even more. We dont even call a good deed, a good deed if its done by our opponent party leader. Quran has a beautiful saying for this:

And do not let the hatred of a people for having obstructed you from al-Masjid al-haram lead you to transgress. And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. (Chapter 5, Verse 2)

The followers or fans have simply stopped accepting any good from anyone other than their leader and they have made their leader as the angels from heavens. In my humble view this attitude is not going to take us anywhere even if we find best of the leader, because even if someone tries to do good others try to do opposite of it.. We already see this attitude in our life. One bad leader will start a very good project for the community and when he goes out of power, the other good or bad leader will immediately stop that project out of hatred, not only money and time is lost but the wheel of progress is turned backward. And the worst part is that the supporter of the leader will consider it right and will keep on fighting for the wrong cause.

I dont want it too long or too boring, so i will just that we need a leader who can bring consensus, who can appreciate the good done by others, who can second the positive step by others and finally who can avoid wasting time in putting allegation and name calling on speeches and talk shows and i think it will do a ton of good for the public and society. I am not saying he should stop in ending corruption by other, but we have a judicial system and it should be used for exposing and proving corruptions by others. Speeches and talk shows are not for it.. You may do a speech in the court while presenting your arguments, but without evidence and without filing cases, doing it on the talk shows i think is not healthy for the leader and especially not healthy for the nation building.

A verse by the great poet Allama Iqbal,

ہو حلقہء یاراں تو ریشم کی طرح نرم
رزم حق و باطل ہو تو فولاد ہے مومن

 

Three Questions of Malik Riaz & Media

Malik Riaz’s three questions are the highlight of the news media from couple of days. The press conference by Malik Riaz was centered around three questions. These three questions are being highlighted as some very fundamental or important questions. But just for a moment lets clear our heads from all the counter answers given by the anchors to these questions and look at the importance of these questions.

First Question is CJ should tell Malik Riaz how many times CJ met in the darkness of the night.
Now the question is why should this be considered as an offense. It can only be considered wrong or inappropriate if the media or the people find that CJ has given benefit or relief to the Malik Riaz after meeting with him. Giving answer that CJ met Malik Riaz while he was inactive is not required. This meeting does not need any justification as nothing wrong in the court has been done by the CJ.

Second Question raised by Malik Riaz is that CJ should tell how many times CJ met PM.
Now this question is also at the height of the stupidity and i wander why it is given any importance. CJ meeting with the PM is not a crime. If it is a crime then CJ should give any justification. Neither these meetings has given any benefit to the PM in the cases he appeared. So why this is even considered a question.

Third Question raised by Malik Riaz is that how long ago CJ knew this case and why he didnt take suo moto action on it earlier.
Now question is that this thing appeared on news media only recently and within couple of day took suo motu action. Now if Cj start taking suo motu action on everything he hears then i think it will open another criticism on CJ taking suo motu action on his biases as he is already criticized heavily on taking too many suo motu actions. Now CJ took the suo motu actions because it was hitting on the CJ and on the Supreme court credibility.

So in my humble view these are really silly and stupid questions. They are not even questions for Chief Justice. These are not anything on which Chief Justice needs to answer. or the public needs to know the answer of these question. Public’s only concern is that is the just & fair trial given in all the cases by the CJ. and are all the verdicts fair and unbiased without giving any benefit or relief or relaxation to any culprit. Which i feel is evident so far from the CJ history.

Now i have four questions from the media.

• Why media does not ask Malik Riaz why he didnt file the FIR or went to the court for this case earlier as he already have some of the top lawyers of Pakistan including Aitazaz Ahsan??
• Why media does not ask How Arsalan Iftikhar was black mailing him? what were the short comings of Malik Riaz on which he was black mailing.??
• Why media does not ask Malik Riaz that is it not black mailing that he is giving all the videos and recording and shopping receipts of Arsalan Iftikhar to the media.?
• Why media does not ask malik riaz that why his press conference is on CJ when the case is against the Arsalan Iftikhar. ??

I hope we see true analytical skills and proper news on the media instead of sensationalism and highlighting of the silly things.

 

Muhajir Identity in Pakistan – A Secular Perspective

Recently lot of current affairs programs are going on Muhajir Province movement. Most of the anchors & guests repeatedly stress to the Muhajir Sooba Tehreek’s representative that instead of calling yourself Muhajir, you should call yourself Pakistani & Sindhi. They also say that when we have Pakistan as an identity then why insist on another identity.

Though this federationist looking suggestion appeals in the beginning in actuality it has many contradiction from our recent democratic history. Lets discuss few examples.
1. Renaming of NWFP
At the time of 18th amendment, the democratic forces all over Pakistan voted for renaming of NWFP to Khyber Pakhtunkhuwa. The president of Federation of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari repeatedly said that it was Peoples Party during which tenure people of NWFP got their identity. Now question arises which identity did they get.? is Pakistan not their identity? Ofcourse it is. But do they need some other identity within the territory of Pakistan and if they need then if some other group ask identity in a similar way then why they are asked to use the identity of Pakistan.
2. Voices for Seraiki Province
President of federation of Pakistan was the first person from the official cadre of Pakistan who strongly voiced in favor of Seraiki Province. Slogans were raised that Seraiki People will no longer be under the tyrannt rule of Takht-e-Lahore. Those who know the history of Punjab the word Punjab was coined during Akbar’s era for Lahore & Multan Provinces jointly. Geography also confirms this because the confluence of these five Punj-ab rivers lie in muzaffargarh district, seraiki belt in southern Punjab. If the people of multan region are encouraged not to call themselves as punjabi but identify themselves as another term Seraiki then why a community living in Sindh Province is forced to identify themselves as Sindhi. It also need to be highlighted that multiple speeches by PM Yousaf Raza Gillani has been strongly in favor of Seraiki province.
3. Historic Identity
According to the Oxford Dictionary NATION is a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular state or territory. After 1947 mass migration took place and a huge influx of refugees in the provinces of Punjab & Sindh changed the demography of these provinces. In case of Punjab after the initial turbulent period, the frictions among local & immigrant community (which came from rajputana, harayana, delhi & western UP along with east Punjab) died down and a new unified culture emerged, which was distinct from the neighboring Indian Punjab culture. So in this regard it can be said that immigrant in punjab province assimilated into the local fabric. But in case of Sindh Province this assimilation did not take place. Though immigrants in sindh Province were from many parts of India like Rajputana, Gujarat, Maharastra, Hyderabad Deccan & north india which had different linguistic and cultural backgrounds but in Sindh they fused together to create a new cultural and linguistic identity which is much distant from the local Sindhi culture. We are not discussing here what were the reason which contributed in creating this new identity (distinct from the regional identity) which did not happen in case of Punjab but it is a ground reality and it can not be ignored. It can be said that linguistically & historically & culturally this new Muhajir Identity is more different from Sindhi identity in Sindh Province than the difference of Seraiki Identity from Punjabi Identity in Punjab Province.

Conclusion

From this whole discussion i am not saying that i am in favor of promoting the regional identities or linguistic provinces within the territory of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Its obvious from my other blogs regarding new administrative units in Pakistan that i am in favor of strengthening the national identity, which is of course PAKISTANI.  In reflection to the recent decisions made by the governments and the political parties regarding ethno-linguistic politics, if some group demands something on the streets of Karachi on same ethno-linguistic grounds we cannot force them to identify themselves just as Sindhis and Pakistanis. As the attitude of the government is entirely different for the similar reasons in Punjab & KPK.

As the last words i will say

بتان رنگ وخون کو توڑ کر ملت میں گم ہو جا
نہ  تورانی  رہے  باقی ، نہ  ایرانی ، نہ  افغانی

Butan-E-Rang-O-Khoon Ko Todh Kar Millat Mein Gum Ho Ja
Na Toorani Rahe Baqi, Na Irani Na Afghani

 

 

Perception versus Reality (All About Imran Khan)

It is a common perception in today’s politics that Imran Khan will change the politics in pakistan. or change the future of the Pakistan for the better.. So lets see how real is this thought or is it just like a new “roti, kapra, makaan” slogan (perception) for the innocent and believing masses of the Pakistan without any basis in the reality

So What will change?

Vision
Imran Khan number of time has said that he will have a single education system in Pakistan. Thats a very good thougth. Currently we have Matriculation, Madrassah & British O’ Level system in Pakistan. Now these three systems are quite extreme to each other. So i wander which system he will pick. I looked for the answer but i have failed to find any answer. If you have heard or read any statement by Imran Khan or PTI that with what education system they will replace the current tripartite system then i will be glad to know and will like to correct myself. For the purpose of keeping it short i m not going to other examples where he just made claims without any plan of action. So i feel he don’t have any plan it is just a perception.

Speeches

Now lets talk about him as a speaker.

So what Imran Khan talked about In Quetta jalsa? He said where is the money for the Baluchistan development is going. if i will come in power, economy will boast. and above all NAWAZ SHARIF is the cause of the problem in Balochistan. Now is there anything different than what Bilawal Zardari Bhutto would have talked about, had he addressed in Quetta or Larkana? Has there anything new other than making tall claims without any plan or vision and accusing the opponents. Nawaz Sharif might be an arch enemy of him, but he and his party has zero presence in Balochistan. Why tell the Baluchs about someone they hardly know. Balochistan is full of crisis and full of potential and i have heard and believed that PTI has a very learned team. It would have been my pleasure had Imran Khan proposed some plans for the development and advancement of Balochistan, prepapred and presented by his very talented and learned team.

Lets talk about Karachi address. Karachi land of lights which has been colored with blood because of few armed parties. What he talked there. Okay let me give you a hint, he didnt talk about Karachi’s problem’s solutions. He talked about Nawaz Sharif, yup. Seriously PTI supporter, is this is the best your party leader can do?? Does he have any vision or his eyes are fixed on Nawaz Sharif only.

So i don’t see any difference in the address and speeches he does and which are done by other parties, They also have same claims and statement and accusations. Perception is it has chance, Reality is nothing has changed.

Statements
Now come to countless bold statements he have given. Starting from his pre-significance era.
Claiming that he will get MQM be declared terrorist organization by the UK authorities. What happened.? He didnt even say a word on the firing which happened on Sindh Love rally which all the people know is done by MQM. But Imran Khan put the blame on Nawaz Sharif.

In Lahore Jalsa he declared that in 6 months if all the politicans do not declare their assets he will expose. I was really very happy and looking forward to it. 6 months passed nothing happened, rather many corrupt leader joined him. I think he forgot Nawaz Sharif to be blamed for it too.

Then he gave two dharnas in Peshawar & Karachi on the Nato Drone Attacks and Supplies. Drones attacks are still going on. in last week only 3 drone attacks happened.. any statement against them or the government by Imran Khan? Nope, Nada, non. Any statement by Imran Khan against Nawaz Sharif? Many.

We can continue on this.. but you get the idea. Show me only one plan of action where he said it and delivered it.

Actions

Now come to some of the very important fact. By the way i like to talk with facts & figures and if you have facts & figures then reply else dont bother. Because these statements matter nothing as i have shown earlier.

So Imran khan got elected in 2002 from his Mianwali seat. He remained memeber of the parliament for Five year.
Many bills were passed in that era and many things happened in that era. Starting from Drone strikes. Which started in 2004. Did Imran Khan said anything against it.? i have searched the web but i didnt find any statement by Imran Khan against drone attack while he was the member of the parliament. Were drone strike okay at that time. Even if he gave any statement, he did not resigned from parliament. WHY? why now he expect opposition to resign on every issue. Why in his time of being an MNA he never resigned while multiple instances of events happend. Starting from drone strike, Lal Masjid Operation, passing of bills. passing of NRO and other bills.? Did he approve all those things.?

Lets talk about now. This government is very corrupt. everyone knows. Corruption in Hajj, Corruption in Railways, in PIA in Rental Power almost in everything. I asked this question with many PTI supporter that Imran Khan has an awesome, learned, talented team. So how many corruption cases Imran Khan has taken to the court against the government. If not than what his learned, awesome, talented team is doing.? tapping thumbs or sleeping or too lazy to work anything?

Or PTI does not believe that the courts are independent now.? or CJ Iftikhar is biased against PTI?

Knowledge

Now lets talk about some of his knowledge. A bit while ago when he had an interview with Saleem Safi When Saleem safi asked why he pushed old people and brough forward new people.. he said Prophet(SAW) did that. and gave the example of Hazrat Umar (RA) where he does not even know the Hazrat Umar (RA) is considered to be 40th muslim and considered as one of the earliest muslims. All muslims before the battle of Badar are considered first phase muslims. Similarly if we have to divide PTI’s struggle into two parts earlier struggle & later struggle, we can put the mark around Lahore Jalsa. and now see that none of the top manager in the PTI current top regime was part of the PTI before PTI earlier struggle.
Shah Mehmood.
Javed Hashmi
Shafqat Cheema
Abrar ul Haq
Jahangir Khan Tareen
and the list continues
all of these people who are enjoying top posts, joined the party after the Lahore jalsa. They have not been through the struggle of the PTI. I respected the PTI struggle but now they have sold theirselves and it gives me sadness to say that i feel Imran Khan lies a lot.

Comparison with others

Now last argument which i get is that he has got a track record. Definitely Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital is a big achievement. and i salute him for this great charity work. But does that one thing make him a saint? We have Al-Khidmat Foundation, Khidmat-e-Khalq foundation, Al-rashid foundation and many other organizations doing some amazing social welfare works which were even praised by UN and other european organization when the flood and other catastrophe’s hit Pakistan. We know how their political wings do when they come in power. So i will just say dont be short sighted. SKMH is an achievement but behind it was mother’s love and that surely is very very strong.

But looking at Imran Khan impartially and realistically with the facts and figures of the ground i will just say A man full of vengeance is not a man, i want to lead my country. A Man full of hate is not a man, i want to lead my country, A man full of ignorance is not a man, i want to lead my country a man full of arrogance is not a man, i want to lead my country.
DO YOU want such a MAN to lead your country?

 

is the Love for Technology more than Love for Humanity & Relationships?

This is probably very strange and confusing question. Although i just recently thought of it. I hope i manage to explain it in here.

About a while back.. before facebook & twitter & Google+ ruled the world.. i remember i use to have long discussions with my friends.. with long i mean around couple of hours easily depending upon how free i was. We use to meet and use to have chit chat in a garden or strolling in the streets or at someone’s place. Freinds use to have fights also but friendship use to stay strong and lasting.

Now fast forward to current era, we have so many technologies which we believe that are for keeping contact with friends and bond more strongly but i feel it has resulted in inverse reaction. Now a person logs onto his favorite networking site and start chatting or talking with who ever he/she finds.

Now imagine couple of scanerios,

Suppose your best friend is not on your social networking site, now will you still give him same amount of time as you u use to give.? Like having long plentiful conversation at some place.?

Now suppose your best friend is on your social networking site, but he/she comes online at a different time than yours. So wot normally happens is that one friend start having a different set of people as friend and other start having a different set of people as friends.. and these two best friends just grow apart. Now this is perfectly fine but the issue i see is that people dont try to keep friendship or relationships. They just feel that its not worth trying for anyone. Which i think is a bit too casual behavior.

Now take another extreme example.. suppose you are on a social networking site and you just make a light fun on your friend by posting some comment or anything on your friend, now wot normally happens is that someone else will also post a comment and then it will start a small grouping in which you and your best friend might be in opposite group.. Now the difference in social networking fights and earlier fight is that in earlier fights friend use to come back and apologize or some how make the friendship like before… but in now a days fight people just move on.. because really there are millions of people and at any given time a large number of people are ready to befriend you or flirt with you. So one feels “So what if he/she is not talking with me, I have tens of others liking & commenting on my posts”.

I feel that this internet social networking generation love technology and not relationships or humanity. We are friends to those who are part of this social network and who remain part of the social network we are on. The moment they leave the social network circle of ours they no longer remain our best friends and ultimately even our friends. We seriously need to think and reflect that is this the right approach. I am not saying it is wrong. But i am just wandering loudly, is it the right approach. So technology be more important than the relationships.

The reason maybe we are drifting away from our family and close friends is that we are more in love with the social network then the relationships & people we should be loving.

I am not sure if i have been clear in conveying my thoughts.. But they were just late night before sleep thoughts.. Hope to see some good replies on it.
