اتحادی سیاست – خرابی کہاں‌ ہے

سیاسی قضیے: 7 اگست، 2018

اصول یہ ہے کہ حکومت شفاف طریقے سے چلنی چاہیے۔

اصول یہ بھی ہے کہ حکومت شفاف طریقے سے بننی چاہیے۔

پارلیمانی نظام میں انتخابات کے بعد حکومت کی تشکیل کے لیے بالعموم جیتنے والی سیاسی جماعتوں اور دوسرے گروہوں کے ساتھ اتحاد بنانا اور آزاد ارکان کا کسی جماعت میں شمولیت اختیار کرنا یا ان کی حمایت کرنا، معمول کی بات ہے۔ بہت کم ایسا ہوتا ہے کہ کسی سیاسی جماعت کو اتنی تعداد میں نشستیں دستیاب ہو جائیں کہ حکومت بنانے کے لیے اسے کسی دوسرے فریق کی ضرورت نہ پڑے۔

یہی کچھ اب تحریکِ انصاف بھی کر رہی ہے، اور دوسری جماعتیں بھی اپنی سی کوشش میں لگی ہیں۔ خود اس عمل میں کچھ برائی یا خرابی نہیں۔ یہ اچنبھا ضرور ہے کہ خود تحریکِ انصاف اس عمل کو برا قرار دیتی رہی ہے، اور جب خود اسے یہ عمل کرنا پڑا …

Sense of direction

With JUI (F), MQM, and PML (Q) once again out to test their gamesmanship, and ANP, PML (N), the Army, and the political-religious parties outside waiting in the wings, it seems Pakistan is all set to brace for another bout of political crisis – leaving us the people bewildered what the hell is the direction they are all moving Pakistan into!
That there is no sense of direction in what is happening or cooking to happen is not far from the truth. An 18th Amendment, a 7th NFC Award, autonomous status for Gilgit-Baltistan, or the Reconciliation mantra appear like in-connectible jots on a maze of unattended urgencies.
This is an attempt to refresh memories of us all, especially the politicians and the Armymen, with the sense of direction reached in 1973.
A constitution is never a political document. It is not

So, is London the last refuge for the Kleptocrats-Criminals?

The country that taught us lesson regarding Rule of Law, Rule of Politics is winning there!

On September 16, 2016, Dawn published the following Situationer, which explains how law may not win over politics in UK:

Politics, not law, likely to decide murder probe
By Owen Bennett-Jones

Here is the text of the piece:

LONDON: Shortly before 17:30 on Sept 16, 2010, Dr Imran Farooq was on his way home from work when he was murdered outside his home in Green Lane, Edgware, in north London. As the police subsequently reported, a post-mortem gave his cause of death as multiple stab wounds and blunt trauma to the head.

For Dr Farooq it was a violent, brutal end. For the MQM, it was the start of a process that six years later would leave the party divided, weakened and under assault from the Pakistani state. We can never know what would

Bridging The Communication Gap With PPP!

With time, disconnect with the Pakistan Peoples Party is widening. The more one listens to news and reads newspapers, the more one is convinced of the distending communication gap between the PPP and non-PPP camps. It seems both of them are talking to themselves only. Watching talk shows on TV channels, where representatives from both camps talk face to face, is an experience these days as they appear to be an exercise in monologic dialogue, without communicating a bit!
No doubt, both camps are talking quite heavily meaningfully. When Khawaja Saad Rafique, or anyone from the Pakistan Muslim League (N), says the PP is using all its energies in defending the President Asif Ali Zaradri against his Swiss money laundering cases, when Fauzia Wahab or anyone from the PP says media is targeting President Zardari, and when Qamar Zaman Kaira says the PP is always a victim of anti-people forces,
