Who should govern Pakistan?
Nowadays media in Pakistan is working hard on propagating the concept of change in government
. President Zardari is the target of media and judiciary. The charges, which were not proved in ten years, are again brought to court. On one side media is blaming government for Afia case and on the other hand, the same media is supporting the opening of cases against Zardari in foreign courts. Is it logical that a government should open cases against its own elected president during its own rule? The government dominates all the institutions so how can some one prove charges against it. Judiciary is free in deciding the cases but it is not free in providing proofs against some one. For this judiciary will rely on the other institutions which are under government control.
But what is the reason of bringing this change? We all know that the present government is the gift of reconciliation between army and secular forces. International establishment and hardliner forces are against this reconciliation. First, the Kerry Lugar Bill tried to break this reconciliation. However, Zardari and Kiyani were clever enough to understand the situation and that matter was wisely solved. After that, some politicians tried their best to engage army in politics. But army did not show any sign of interest. Media is constantly presenting a gloomy picture of Zardari government to compel army to come to the front. But last day a meeting between the army chief and government has shattered the hopes of media.
It was the plan A. Plan B is to bring forward Nawaz Sharif to confront Zardari. People's Party reconciliation was not only with army but also for all the political parties of the country. Therefore, Nawaz (leader of friendly opposition) is induced to stand against Zardari. He has again repeated the charges of corruption against Zardari and government. But if some one has any sound proof of corruption against the government so it should go the court because only Zardari is enjoying immunity.
Again, what are the reasons to overthrow Zardari and disrupt this reconciliation between army and secular forces? Some one remembers how international forces entered Iraq. The reason was threat of nuclear and biological weapons. And now today international establishment is the main driving force in Iraq the second largest producer of oil in the Muslim world. Some one remembers how International Establishment entered Afghanistan a centre in close proximity to China, Iran, Russia, and India. The threat of terrorism was the main reason. Now how International Establishment can find a footing place in Pakistan the frontline state against war on terror and the possible gateway of trade.
Last day International Establishment claimed that the roots of terror are in Pakistan. Can International Establishment blame secular parties like Pakistan Peoples Party, Awamy National Party, and Mutahida Qaumi Movement for supporting the terrorists? The world will never believe it. International Establishment can pressurize the present Pakistani government to take action against terrorists but it cannot blame the present government for supporting the terrorists. But if army comes to power in Pakistan then International Establishment can very easily blame Pakistan army for supporting terrorists. Moreover, the world will also surely believe it. Pakistan army is fully aware of it and that is the reason that army is refrained from taking the control of the government. In the same way, Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League is also accused for supporting hardliners in Punjab. It is also on record that he met Osama during his reign in 90's. Nawaz Sharif does not deny it. He is also accused for taking money from hardliners to form IJI against Banazeer. General Hamid Gul has publicly admitted that. Now Nawaz coming to power can pave the way for International establishment to deploy its forces in Pakistan.
The internal situation of Pakistan is also not encouraging. Karachi is presenting the scene of Beirut of 80's. The situation of Beirut was also not clear until the end when conflicting parties sat at the negotiating table. The same is the situation in Karachi. No one admits its mistake. But all those parties which are willing for negotiations are responsible for the conditions. Before the advent of international forces in Karachi, they must reconcile with each other. Now they have the time. Once the situation is out of control, no one will remain to negotiate.
Once Zufiqar Ali Bhutto accused US for intervention in Pakistani politics. "Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, fighting for his political life, charged Thursday that the U.S. government is behind Pakistan's bloody post election crisis, and that foreign money helped to finance the opposition's campaign against him." (Los Angles Times April 29, 1977). Later on US admitted this too. "U.S. Envoy Close to Zia at Crucial Times in Pakistani Leader's Career." (Los Angles Times August 18, 1988). But this time PPP is not blaming any one. It is also following the principle of reconciliation on international level.
Pakistan Peoples Party has the ability to bind all the forces together. PPP can convince the Balochis. PPP is also working on provincial autonomy. Successfully PPP has solved the problem of NFC award. It can convince the four provinces for the construction of controversial Kalabagh dam that will give PPP an overwhelming majority in next elections in Punjab. PPP has proved to accommodate the interests of all during their almost three years rule. Zardari is accused that he was not willing to restore judiciary but actually, he waited until the time when the same power came forward to restore judiciary, which had overthrown it. Their secular image is acceptable internationally. Supporting terrorism is not their agenda. Provincial autonomy is their goal. Regional countries are feeling comfortable with them. At the moment it is only PPP that can keep all the Pakistani provinces united. Overthrowing Zardari may be the end of Pakistani federation.
