The Pakistani Spectator

If we take a look upon proceedings of post 9th March scenario, and analyze the situation deeply the question blinks in mind ‘Are we being headed towards a planned and engineered state of emergency’.

In past eras, emergency in any country was declared due to agitation by the general public. This may be the first time the emergency (if declared) will be imposed to extract some favourable and desired results. What that results could be?

1. To pressurize and take vote of confidence from the National Assembly for another term.
2. To dissolve assemblies after getting a vote.
3. To hold elections under control of the army.
4. To make judiciary in-effective for a longer period of time.
5. To prepare another Q-league and MMA like parties.

There could be other motives too. But government raised no against the holding bloodshed on 12th May, deepening the crises of CJP, crreating and exploiting Lal Majid issue, power show-off in corps commanders’ meeting, staged war against media, mis-behaving with CJP and other lawyers and now missing of petitioner Mr Iqbal Qazmi of Karachi who filed a petition and was given life threat. This all is leading towards a planned state of affairs favourable to the current leadership.

In my humble view:

1. Government should backup in the case of CJP and try to normalize the situation (if it Mr. Bush can do so why we not). NAB twice backed our on sugar scam and government backed-up from its cases against Ms Bhutto and closed its office incharge to act against PPP.

2. We know that in other government departments, army, establishment, intelligence, bureaucracy etc angels are not employed if CJP have taken a plot or asked for compensation from government.

3. Try to minimize the interference of army in public affairs and gradually go back to its job, and opt for a sigle seat.

4. Independence of Election Commission.

5. Announce elections earlier and after elections appoint a people representative Prime Minister.

6. Defuse all parties who take cussion from government and do whatever they want.

7. Try to give time to issues concerned to general public like Inflation, Price hikes, un-necessary profiteering, power crises, corruption, law and order.
