Elections At Last!
Although the Supreme Court’s ruling has removed any ambiguity concerning the holding of the General Elections on February 8, the outcome of the most-awaited polls in Pakistan’s political history is still anybody’s guess. Most analysts believe that another hung parliament is in the offing, while a few political pundits predict some out-of-the-box scenarios and manifestations prevailing after the election. Whatever the case, the road to democratic transition is always paved with formidable challenges and great difficulties. More’s the pity, the leadership of leading political parties is busy with seat adjustments with their coalition partners and like-minded allies, and the battle for “who will be the prime minister” is literally well underway. Amidst the ongoing wheeling and dealing, not a single party has yet managed to convince the electorate as to how it will be able to put the derailed economy back on track and what measures they have planned to take the country out of the perpetual socio-economic crisis. Expectedly, another merry-go-round of the same faces is about to surface post-elections, which look to be not more than merely a constitutional burden for the powers that be, as they will always rule the roost before and after polls, that too in the guise of democracy and a government by the people.
International Terrorist
India, the world’ s largest democracy, is often viewed with rosy glasses by international observers. However, the way the Indian security machinery, in cahoots with their political leadership, is on a global killing spree, particularly in the U.S. and Canada has left many New Delhi sympathizers in shock and awe. The dichotomy is that the Indian security apparatus is now killing its own people because of their disparate political leanings and sovereignty ambitions. Though such Indian wickedness and complete disregard for human sanctity is not new to its western neighbour, the realization now has caught the First World nations out of the blue who, by themselves, have a proven track of killing millions and bombarding the most vulnerable people of the world by using different pretexts, such as the right to self-defense and the War on Terror. Despite its colossal economic size and huge political clout in the international community, India’s credentials as a global terrorist are becoming clear and corroborated day by day, and those who have yet to acknowledge New Delhi’s old-long terrorism tactics due to diplomatic compulsions will soon discern the real side of New Delhi and realise how arduous and difficult is to be India’s neighbour.
