Zardari Responsible for Ethnic Differences in Pakistan..!

Go and give your congratulations to those  who are sitting on snugly in the establishment because their brainchild Asif Ali Zardari has put Pakistan in the most dangerous position ever. Asif Zardari through his policies of keeping everybody happy and just saving his own skin has virtually divided the Pakistan.

In Pakistan these days, it seems that the differences have surfaced very bitterly among the provinces. By changing the name of NWFP, Zardari has paved the way for more division in KP, and anger is rising among Hazarawals and other ethnic groups in that region. Zardari has fanned the ethnic differences in Punjab and now people are asking for three provinces like Seraiki, Mianwali and Bahawalpur carved out of Punjab. There are voices getting stronger in Sindh about division and president of Awami Tehreek Ayaz Palejo has said that Zardari and Altaf Hussain are conspiring to make Karachi a separate province.

Sindh has a heritage which was 5,000 years old and no offensive comments should have been made against it. Also Punjab’s divison and the division of KP would spark more unrest and more ethnic division. In Pakistan every district is almost based on different ethnicity and due to the no control of government, there could be a mess of movements everywhere about new provinces, and it would become a joke, and Pakistan soon would have thousands of provinces.

Can we get rid of Zardari to save Pakistan’s integrity...?

New Provinces ; Legitimate Demand..?

The problem which I see with the formation of the new provinces is that there is no public movement or mass protests in this regard in Seraiki belt, Bahawalpur or in the Hazara area. There are some scattered public meetings but they were without any luster and only few of the defeated politicians were using this as a new lever of power, which might provide them chance to rejoin the fray.

On the merit, the thought about the formation of new provinces is not without water. It’s rather sounds more logical in both historical and the administrative perspective. Lahore is the hub for the Punjab, and it is far far away from Rahim Yar Khan, Bahawalpur, Sargodha, Attock and from Mianwali. Also it is very evident that Lahore eats up most of the budget for the Punjab province, and you can compare other cities of the Punjab with Lahore.

Also for the poor people it is very hard and demanding to travel to Lahore from Southern or Northern Punjab for their officials works and they cannot afford the living and accommodation in Lahore. Given the huge population of the Punjab, it has become virtually impossible to govern justifiably. So the demand for the new provinces is legit, but it should be on administrative basis, however any division based on ethnic and racial basis should be discouraged.

But what after that? What happened after the renaming of the NWFP? There is no vision in practice right now to ensure that there wouldnt be any mess after the split of Punjab and there wouldnt be more and more demand for provinces from all the provinces. Population of Pakistan comprises as; Punjabis 44.15%, Pukhtoon’s 15.42%, Sindhis 14.1%, Saraikis 10.53%, Muhajir’s (7.57%), Balochis 3.57% and Others 4.66%. This might never end, so beware....!

Ramazan Mubarak..!

Wishing you guys a Blessed month of Ramazan/ Ramadan shareef. May ALLAH Almighty shower His blessings upon us and help us change for the better....! AAMEEN

Why Imran Khan Will Not Win...!

If you ask me the sole reason why I think that there is no future for Imran Khan in the Pakistani Politics until and unless he solely depends upon the establishment, then it is his imposing and dictatorial style which is his nature, and he simply cannot shed that away, though he tries sometimes.

For example, when PML-N made the blunder of loosing the Hazara area of Khyber Puktunkhwa because they didn’t do anything to prevent ANP-PPP to change the name of province which has no representation of Hazara, Imran tried to impose himself on the Baba Haider Zaman and tried to replace PML-N at his own. Baba Haider tried to contact Imran and asked him to join his movement for Hazara province, but Imran wanted all the limelight for himself and failed spectacularly.

Same happened for Imran in his sit-ins of Karachi and Islamabad and Lahore. He refused to accept the help of Jamat-e-Islami, and his dharnas were just show of misery. He staged a good show in Peshawar, but then again failed to capitalize on that success and there was no follow up and there was no party management there.

So political acumen, in the nut shell, is what Imran lacks and that is fatal for any political career. Imran is lucky that he has committed so many blunders and yet he is there, just because the others are so incompetent or perhaps others don’t ever take him seriously.

1st roza..!

Its Asar time and I am feeling very hungry + thirsty. I should because its after one complete year and secondly this is first Ramadan. Going down the month I will get habitual to it. Wow.. what a month? It has its own taste. Everything changes and goes in accordance with the ROZA. Waited alot for this holy month like always...!    

The curious case of the moon...!

In case you have not already sussed this out, this post has to do with the appearing and not appearing of the moon, as it determines when different months start in the Hijri calendar. The calendar determines when different events occur in Islam, and it is essentially a lunar calendar, and not the only lunar calendar being used still.

However, come every Ramadan, and every Eid, the whole of the Muslim community goes into complete shambles. They just cannot see the moon. They just cannot agree on it. They just cannot believe that one person has actually seen the moon, and they just cannot believe that they may actually do something which another brother (sorry!) is doing.

All this, despite the fact  that science can clearly tell us the different phases of the moon. Okay, maybe science is not good enough for you. Why then, do you follow science for the other 10 months of the calendar, and more importantly, just one question, why, o why, do you use scientific numbers to determine when Sehri and Iftar are? Why can you print off calendars and charts and tables that determine exactly when the sun moves around the earth, but not believe the same number when it comes to the moon, for just 30 odd days of the year?

I rest my case...!
