PTI’s National Assembly Members Should be Deseated?

Posted on: July 29, 2015 2:50 am Written by: Leave a Comment print for hard copyEmail This Post

JUI (Fazalur Rahman) and MQM has raised a motion in the National Assembly that membership of the PTI members in National Assembly should be terminated because they were absent from the parliament for more than forty days.
This is a valid question but why these two parties or others for that matter did not raise this question earlier? There seems to be a couple of reasons.

Before we go into that detail please let us give our opinion on the subject.

Short and straightforward answer is if the constitution and the national assembly rules say that membership will be terminated in the situation facing presently then the membership of PTI members should be terminated. Simple as that.

It should not be the decision of any individuals or combined by vote or Nawaz Sharif as he is trying to do.

Nawaz Sharif has called a meeting today (July 29, 2015) of parliamentary leaders of all the political parties represented in the parliament. I wonder he did not call APC. Purpose of the meeting is to create a consensus on the decision. Decision means Nawaz Sharif’s wishes.

Nawaz Sharif would not like the termination of PTI membership simply he is afraid that PMLN may not win those seats. That will strengthen PTI’s position and political image and at the same time it will weaken PMLN’s position.

Nawaz Sharif will persuade party leaders not to de-seat PTI members. Since Nawaz Sharif has always supported MQM and JUI (F) they will not have any problem going with Nawaz Sharif. PPP does not care but they will also not like PTI be eliminated from parliament and there are by-elections for those seats.

Though they have initiated this motion to de-seat PTI members but actually they don’t want that to happen. They don’t want to go in by-elections. And who knows PTI may decide not to participate in by-elections, if they happen. That will be very embarrassing for Nawaz Sharif.

Coming back to the question why MQM and JUI(F) raised this motion in the parliament. Simply because of personal animosity otherwise if it was a matter of principle then they should have forced this motion at that time when PTI was absent from the assembly.

Another possibility could be that Nawaz Sharif has initiated this exercise through MQM and JUI(F). He has done that previously when Khawaja Asif spoke against Pak Army and PTI in the national assembly where he used very abusive language in the presence of Nawaz Sharif. Nawaz Sharif uses other people to take his personal revenge.

In PMLN the more abusive language you use particularly against Imran Khan and PTI you will be considered more loyal to Nawaz Sharif. So much so Nawaz Sharif has appointed a minister specifically to take care of Imran Khan and PTI, namely Pervez Rasheed. His job title should be Minister for Anti Imran Khan and PTI. Others in the same rank are Khawaja Asif, Khawaja Sa’ad Rafiq, etc. Then there are other actors at lower ranks, Ahsan Iqbal, Zaeem Qadari and Daniyal Aziz etc. A new rising star is Talal Chaudary, the prince. He is also trying to compete with top stars of PMLN. He consider himself crown prince.

nawaz_sharif You have heard hundreds of time in a days on TV channels and in read in newspapers from political leaders and prime minister Nawaz Sharif that we need the whole nation be united against terrorists. How much Nawaz Sharif is committed to eliminate terrorism we will talk about that at some other time. Nawaz Sharif’s definition of nation’s unity means don’t say anything against the poor performance of his government and don’t talk about 2013 votes rigging. What wonderful approach Nawaz Sharif’ has about the national unity.

Who is Going to be the Next Chief Election Commissioner?

Posted on: December 4, 2014 5:25 am Written by: Leave a Comment print for hard copyEmail This Post

It does not make any difference who is going to be the next chief election commissioner. The present poor rather corrupt performance of the election commission will continue.

Why?

Here is the reason. When you want to construct a bridge you get a civil engineer for the job. When you need to keep a close eye on your cash flow you assign the job to an accountant. When you want to build machinery you get a mechanical engineer. When you will put an accountant in place of a civil engineer you know what will happen.

Conducting election is a project management type job. You need an administrator with strong project management skills. Every professional mentioned above have necessary education, training and experience. A judge has the education in law and have the experience in the use and interpretation of different clauses and articles of law. That is what he has been doing all along his career. What he knows about project management or administration.

Because our system of governance is so corrupted our decision makers think they need an honest person for conducting the election. To get the job done you need a professional and to circumvent the corruption you need a strong system with strong checks and balances. None of them exists in our present election system.

Do you think an honest accountant can do the job of a civil engineer. Just because he is honest. Honesty has nothing to do with the professional knowledge and experience. Assigning, selecting or electing or nominating a judge as election commissioner will not any good to the election system.

We all have seen what the judge who worked as chief election commissioner previously has delivered. He may be honest but he did not have the management skills.

Our politicians are making that mistake again by putting a judge for the job of chief election commissioner. Some one can say this is what is written in the constitution. Who designed the constitution, the same politicians.

One more idea may be Zardari (PPP) and Nawaz Sharif (PMLN) know better than us how to manipulate the election results so they agree to put this requirement in the constitution. An old retired judge (preferably 70+ years) who don’t have energy left for anything best suits them as chief election commissioner.

Some Opposition Parties Support Nawaz Sharif for Prime Minister’s Election

Posted on: June 4, 2013 4:53 pm Written by: Leave a Comment print for hard copyEmail This Post

Some-Opposition-Parties-Support-Nawaz-Sharif
Some of the opposition parties namely, MQM, JUIF and other smaller parties in the National Assembly have decided to vote for Nawaz Sharif for the election of Prime Minister.
We have a question for them.

If they think he is the right person for the job then why they have not supported him during the election. Why they fought the election against him? Better yet they should have joined his party. As the counting goes more that fifty lotas have joined him a couple of more should have also joined him if there is no difference between your and his manifesto.

The fact of the matter is all these parties who are supporting Nawaz Sharif they don’t have any principle they are supporting him to get something in return.

These politicians have no ideology they just follow and look for their personal interests not people’s interests.

Nawaz Sharif & Company Celebrated ‘Youm-e-Takbeer’

Posted on: June 2, 2013 12:39 pm Written by: Leave a Comment print for hard copyEmail This Post


Nawaz-Sharif-Company-Celebrated-Youm-e-Takbeer
On May 28, 2013 the Sharifs and their followers celebrated the day Pakistan did their nuclear blast as ‘Youm-e-Takbeer’. Nawaz Sharif has always claimed the credit of taking the decision to go ahead with the nuclear test while the truth is opposite to that. More recently during the election campaign he repeatedly mentioned this as his achievement during his previous tenure.

He is lying.

Here is the truth.
Listen carefully in the following Youtube video what Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan and Gohar Ayub, then the Foreign Minister has to say. It is a short video less than two and half minute.

What do you think about Nawaz Sharif’s statements now?
How strong leader he is. Write what ever you have to say write in the comments.

Did Money Work In Lahore?

Posted on: May 12, 2013 7:01 am Written by: Leave a Comment print for hard copyEmail This Post


money work lahore

Rumors say money has changed hands during elections in Punjab province to achieve the desired results. The people who support these rumors say they know for fact they and the people known to them have voted for PTI but the results went in favor of Nawaz Sharif. They claim this the magic of money.

This is the responsibility of investigative journalists to find out the truth. The opposition parties should take the ball from there and go to courts and see if the courts can deliver the justice. Even if the courts do not care about that they should present the facts to the people. They will know the truth. If we want the democracy to continue then we have to do more investigative work and be more vigilant.

Will the media do their job? We have to wait and see.

Start of Election Campaign – Nawaz Sharif’s Speech in Qasur.

Posted on: April 20, 2013 5:27 pm Written by: Leave a Comment print for hard copyEmail This Post


speech-nawaz-sharif-qasur

Today Nawaz Sharif started his election campaign from Qasur. In his first speech he said the person who expelled him from Pakistan today he is in jail. Obviously, he was talking about Pervez Musharraf.

Then he said the person who accused and charged him with terrorism today he is accused and charged with terrorism. Let us analyze these two statements.

Nawaz Sharif was expelled or he made an agreement with Government of Pakistan (represented by the President of Pakistan) through King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia to go in exile.

Why Nawaz Sharif lies?

Because he knows he can get by with it in the court of law and or election tribunal court.

How he got by these lies? That is question you should ask yourself. What magic he has?

When Nawaz Sharif submitted his nomination papers, one of his opponents raised an objection that Nawaz Sharif lied when he said he has no agreement with Government of Pakistan when he left Pakistan for Saudi Arabia so he does not qualify under Article 62 and 63 for elections. But the Returning Officer did not accept that objection and cleared Nawaz Sharif as an honest person.
Everybody knows about that agreement. Once Interior Minister of Saudi Arabia came and showed the copy of that agreement in a press conference in Pakistan  In other words Nawaz Sharif did not lie.

What is the definition of lies in the eyes of a Court of Law, Returning Officer and Election Tribunal? You make your own judgment.

This reflect the administrative inability of Chief Election Commissioner Fakharudddin G. Ibrahim who is normally considered an honest person. But there is a hell lot of difference between honesty and capability. Our political parties agreed on Fakharuddin G. Ibrahim's name as Chief Election Commissioner because they knew he is weak (which give them benefit) but since he is considered honest so people will accept his name.
