Pakistan and Future

I wish I could answer simple answers to your questions. I wish life could have been that simple. You know I yearn to be “eighteen stone women” who had answer to every question in this world. I would love to be like you to have very simple answer of every question that disturbs me. I would love to condemn every single politician, all the people who vote for these politicians. I would love to know answer to all questions from economics to military and from religion to politics. I would love to have the answers to each individual problem Pakistan is facing from poverty to energy crisis , from extremism to politics.
But alas I don’t have any simple answers. But I have “jewish” answers , cryptic , complex, absurd , meaningless and stupid. Good thing is that at least there is one question which I have a very simple answer.

- The judiciary issue: What should be done, what HAS been achieved and what is ZPP doing?

Well I think I answered this earlier somewhere, but let me state again I am absolutely disappointed by AZ/PPP about the judiciary issue, I don’t think though judiciary issue has been settled until and unless CJ Iftikhar Chaudary is not restored as CJ there is not going to be any solution. And the fight will go on till that result. One thing I am happy about is that the lawyers movement is in very safe hands of Aitzaz Ahsan/Kurd/Malik and that gives me the best hope of the solution.

- The food crisis: What should be done, what HAS been achieved and what is ZPP doing? Btw: I would like to asks whether ZPP is running a project like the “Sasta Tanduur” or is “ROTI” yet another empty “slogan” of ZPP?

I honestly have no idea about how to solve the food crisis. Usually I try to trust someone who is a expert in his field. I actually think SS is doing great in terms of providing cheap “roti” to the poor. From the political perspective PPP will be in difficult situation in the next election because the poverty issue than any other (again it is my opinion).

- The energy crisis: As far as I remember the incompetent ZPP minister promised to deliver a temporary solution in 100 days. What was he thinking about? Raising the prices to “solve” the problem?

Well again I am not very expert in energy as well, however during 90’s BB’s government I happened to have some insight in IPP units that PPP government was able to get working , I remember there was big hue and cry on these IPP units and it was said that there was a lot of kickbacks involved (again I won’t say there was no kickback involved) , but looking back I think the IPP policy was successful. I probably have more trust in PPP government on this count.

- Media: My claim is that the media has been silenced to some extent. Why has the media become almost silent on the judiciary issue? Who is pulling the wires?

Yes I know little bit about media , I believe that there is no gagging in place at the moment , most of the journalist are just following the policy of “wait and see” , they are willing to give PPP ample time to prove its worth and you will find that at the crunch time it will be the same journalists who are currently believed to be on PPP payroll who are going to put the things in right direction.

- Presidency: Why doesn’t AZ give up his dictatorial “rights”?

This issue is closest to my heart , with AZ in presidency it seems to me that water is very muddied , but I think matter is probably much more than 58-2B and 17th Amendment , it is more about the November 3rd actions and the “charter of democracy” , with the passage of time PML-N is going to exert more and more pressure on PPP to get the November 3rd chapter closed , 58-2B will be the obvious casualty in this process.

- PM: Why is he only a puppet PM?
Ah.. I wish I could have created an intelligent machine that could be as puppet as our PM , in my software engineering I have seen that even the well written application behave unexpectedly in different circumstances. PM is a human being I believe  ……….  well sorry for cryptic answers again , it is hard for me not to be sarcastic on such questions.

- Who is the boss? The GHQ/AZ/YRG? Or shall we consider them as a “joint strike force”……off course a “force” against their own people?

hahaha….. again you always tempt me to be sarcastic….  … well I wish I could be the boss… wait let me try to answer seriously..
I think that the current situation is pretty much similar to 1989 when BB agreed to accept the power sharing with Aslam Begs and likes. There are certain subtle differences though. AZ is in better negotiating position than BB at that time however he is unexperienced (I hate to pass such comments as perhaps he might not be unexperienced)…. I think I will come back with a detailed analysis on this later…

Are you able to give simple answers to the above questions/issues?

Yeah that is the answer which has a very simple answer. And i.e. NO , I don’t have simple answer to these questions. Although I would love to have simple answers.
