Leaders and Pakistan (Imran Khan our HOPE)
We Pakistani’s are very unlucky in case of leadership. In last 65 years
there were very few leaders who tried for the wellbeing of Pakistan.
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah is on the top of that list. According to a BBC
poll in 2004, Jinnah is considered as South Asia's greatest-ever leader with
the highest score of 39%, higher than Gandhi and Subhash Chandra Bose.
The historian, Stanley Wolpert, makes the following observation that succinctly describes the legacy of
Jinnah and his footprint on history.
Few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still
modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a
nation-state. Muhammad Ali Jinnah did all three.
Luck didn’t favor us for long here. This great leader died just 1 year
after the independence of Pakistan, at the time when we needed him the most
because that was the time when we were working on the base of Pakistan. It is
said that when the viceroy of India at that point of time, Lord Louis
Mountbatten, learned of Jinnah's ailment he said 'had they known that Jinnah
was about to die, they'd have postponed India's independence by a few months as
he was being inflexible on Pakistan'.
After Jinnah military started intervening in the political matters and this
went on till Pakistan found Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. Bhutto started his political
career in 1957 when he became the youngest member of Pakistan's
delegation to the United Nations. He addressed the United Nations Sixth Committee on Aggression on 25
October 1957 and led Pakistan's delegation to the first United Nations
Conference on the Law of the Sea in 1958. That same year, Bhutto became the
youngest Pakistan cabinet minister, on appointment to the Ministry of Water and
Power by President Field Marshal Ayub Khan.
Bhutto was noted for his progressive economic initiatives,
industrialization, education, and foreign policy, and his intellectualism. In
addition to national security issues, Bhutto promoted his policies on nationalization, health care, and social reforms. Under his premiership, Pakistan's Parliament
gave approval and passed unanimously the 1973 Constitution of Pakistan, a
supreme law that provides a parliamentary system to Pakistan, strengthened Sino-Pakistani
and Saudi-Pakistani relations, recognized East-Pakistan as Bangladesh, and hosted
the second Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in 1974 where he
delegated and invited leaders from the Muslim world to Lahore, Punjab Province
of Pakistan. In July 1972, Bhutto successfully preceded the Shimla treaty,
signed with Indira Gandhi of India, brought 93,000 Prisoners of War back to
Pakistan, and secured 5,000 sq. mi (13,000 km2) held by India. In 20
January 1972, weeks after the Indo-Pakistani 1971 winter war, Bhutto
orchestrated, authorized, and administrated the scientific research on nuclear
weapons; for this, he is colloquially known in the world as "Father of the
Pakistan's nuclear deterrent program”. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was executed in 1979
after the Supreme Court of Pakistan controversially sentenced him to death by hanging
for authorizing the murder of a political opponent.
After that there was a long pause although we saw leaders like Nawaz
Sharif, Benazir Bhutto, Pervez Musharraf, Shoukat Aziz, Zafar Ullah Jamali,
Yousaf Raza Gilani, Chaudhry Shujjat, Asif Ali Zardari etc. but no one was able
to impress Pakistani nation as they were impressed by Muhammad Ali Jinnah and
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
Now Imran Khan is gaining popularity among Pakistani Nation as a leader.
Imran Khan is considered Pakistan's most
successful cricket captain, Khan played for the Pakistani cricket team from
1971 to 1992 and served as its captain intermittently throughout 1982–1992.
After retiring from cricket at the end of the 1987 World Cup, in 1988 due to
popular public demand he was requested to come back by the President of
Pakistan to lead the team once again. At 39, Khan led his teammates to
Pakistan's first and only World Cup victory in 1992.
In April 1996, Khan founded and became the chairman of a political party Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaf. Through worldwide fundraising, he has also helped establish
the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre in 1996 and
Mianwali's Namal College in 2008. He represented Mianwali as a
member of the National Assembly from November 2002 to October 2007. But Khan’s
party was not much popular in Pakistan. Many Political leaders considered him
as a total failure in politics and is alive just because of the media coverage
until 30 October 2011, Imran Khan changed the political picture of the country
by addressing more than 100,000 supporters in Lahore challenging the policies
of the current government, calling this new change a "tsunami"
against the ruling parties, followed by another successful public
gathering of 250,000 supporters in Karachi on 25 December 2011. Since then
Imran Khan has become a real threat for the current ruling parties and future
political prospect in Pakistan. According to International Republican Institute
(IRI)'s survey, Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) tops the list of
popular parties in Pakistan both at the national as well as provincial level,
leaving Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)
behind.
Today Imran Khan is the new HOPE of Pakistani youth and they want to see
him the next prime minister of Pakistan. Today he is the only leader of
Political Party who is participating in every TV talk shows when he is invited
and is answering every criticism made on him or his party where as leaders of
other political parties are not that brave to do this. He is the only Leader of
Political Party against whom there is no case of corruption, no scandal. Other
parties tried their best to involve him in different scandals but he faced all
those allegations and cleared them on media. One of his answer is very popular
when Babar Ghauri of MQM asked him in a TV show that look at this picture this
kid’s (Sita white’s daughter) face look like you. Imran Khans answered Babar
Ghauri, if I go to Africa, I can show you a hundred kids that look like you.
After this answer I guess no one asked him again about Sita white and her kid.
I don’t think we have any other choice in the upcoming elections other than
Imran Khan. We already tried all the options but no one was able to deliver
according to our wishes. Imran Khan and PTI is the only hope left behind. He is
the only person with all his assets in Pakistan. He is the only person who will
not leave this country. He is the only person talking about change in system of
Pakistan and we need that change to save our Pakistan.
I specially added these last 2 pics to show you what he was and what he is today. In the above picture you can see his life style when he was cricketer. Then check the following picture.
I never voted in elections for anyone in my life but this time i will vote for him. After watching this how can i vote for anyone else. My vote is only for him because he earned my vote with his efforts for my pakistan that i can see. You are definitly blind if you cant see those efforts that he made and the efforts he is making today for you and for Pakistan..
CHANGE starts from you
Yesterday I was watching news on
television, it was showing that angry people are protesting against unscheduled
load shedding. Protestants were damaging shops, Buses, Trains, Banks, visitor’s
guidance boards and other public/ government properties of their own city. As I
was watching this news many questions were running in my mind. When we will
start acting as educated nation? When will we learn that all Gov. Properties
are our own properties? When we will learn effective methods of protests? When
we will learn that by burning a shop or bus we are snatching away the only
source of income from poor people?
I am not saying that we should
not protest, we should do this as the country in which we are living no one
will listen to us without that but we should do it in effective and peaceful
way. Round the world there are about 7 common methods of peaceful protests.
- Petitions - here signatures are collected to protest against an issue and then handed into the relevant body or authority. An alternative here is a letter petition where people sign a pre-written letter that is sent by many people as a protest.
- Demonstrations - here people gather together to make a particular protest.
- Rallies - here people gather together to listen to speakers covering issues.
- Marches - here people march on a certain route to make a protest.
- Pickets - here people will occupy a certain area (i.e. outside a factory or government building) to make a protest.
- Sit Ins - here people will occupy a specific area to make a protest.
- Strikes - here employees will go on strike to protest against something that relates to their employment.
We have to select the most effective
method for our protests from the above but one thing we should keep in mind
that all protests should be peaceful. Never ever damage any public or
Government property during the protest.
If you think that your message will reach more strongly if you burn
Government/Public property then you are wrong. It will only effect the mango
people like us. Only we will be effected.
If you want to protest in effective way. You
should select the Sit Ins Method. Occupy main gate of your MNA’s or MPA’s
house. Sit there and record your protest. Make your MPA’s and MNA’s life
miserable so that they know how they made our life miserable. That’s the most
effective way to protest.
Everyone want change in Pakistan, Everyone
is talking about change but this change will never come until you change your
own behavior. Wake up change is there, Change will start from individuals, Change
will start from you. Stop destroying public/Government properties. Don’t play
in the hands of anti-Pakistan forces. Don’t let the enemies of Pakistan to use
you against your own country.
Favoritsm Policy of Governments in Pakistan
Nadeem Yousafzai is another favorite of this corrupt Government. Nadeem
Yousafzai was an ordinary Pilot during his career. This government made him MD
Pakistan International Airlines on the merits of favoritism. He was on merit in
the list of favorites of this government for the post of MD PIA. 
Government
brings their favorites on the key posts. Later the persons on these key posts
will bring their favorites on the key posts with in the organization. MD PIA
was Government’s favorite, Sadia Saeed was MD’s favorite now Allah knows who
was Sadia Saeed’s favorite in PIA and this chain of favoritism will go on. In
the chain of this favoritism Bhoja was also cleared and ban on Bhoja Airlines
was lifted off, Bhoja Airlines was allowed to start its flights once again with
the 30 years old planes already banned in many countries. Objections are also
raised on the flying license of Bhoja pilot Noor ullah Afridi. Means pilot was
also part of this favoritism and maybe he was favorite of Bhoja Airlines. The
result of this favoritism chain is in front of us in the form of Bhoja Crash
and loss of life of 126 citizens of Pakistan.
Now
if there will be no merits for the posts like DG’s and MD’s in our government
organizations, how can the system work properly. How can anyone expect that the
organizations like PIA, PCB, Railway, WAPDA, HEC, NAB and FIA will improve its
performance? If such posts will be awarded on favoritism then the results will
be the same, downfall of our organizations, incidents like Bhoja crash. And an
ordinary Pakistani will have to lose his job, his career and in many cases his
life because of the favoritism policy of his government.
