Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
I have always been against army rule and in favour of democracy, still am, but find it very difficult to support this govt, the most incompetent and corrupt Pakistan has probably seen. At the moment if the army was to takeover I would be neutral. Pakistan is being destroyed while these nincompoops are clueless as what to do.
Democracy can only work when those claiming to be representatives of democracy ie the PPP start acting like a demoratic party and not the Bhutto's personal property.
It would be nice to see the PPP start showing some spine and get rid of Zardari. Zardari is killing the very little integrity they had left. Then you have those muppets the MQM and ANP who need to stop supporting Zardari too. How can Zardari, mr 10% conduct Presidential affairs? Does he know anything else other than corruption? Its funny how the MQM-ANP-PPP are all in bed together yet the MQM is busy killing ANP workers and other Pakhtuns and the PPP is ignoring it. The ANP should realise this government is not working.
The PPP made many promises yet delivered none! What is new there?
Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
What a load of crap… I saw the interview he never said he will “back army rule”, it was that najoomi ka bacha shahid masood who was hell bent on putting words in imran’s mouth.. all imran said was that they need army support to tackle the flood situation.
Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
I don't know what's going on in his mind. He seems to be behaving like Talibanic supporters in the West, who enjoy democracy but yearn for dictatorship in Pakistan.
It was pretty stupid of him to say that. Politically he will gain absolutely NOTHING by this idiotic statement.

Sir jee.
When he started fund collection with Geo, It was clear that he is now again ready to be a friend of some one.
By the way ,
Can anybody tell that who are the owners of ARY now ?
Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
retarded statements are expected of Altaf Terrorist Hussain. but disappointed to see more nonsense from Imran. guess after trying to justify suicide bombings and being an apologist for terrorism and taliban, he felt he had to up his game further. is he going to disown this statement too in a few years' time like he did his support for Musharraf years ago?
Imran has joined the ranks of Qazi, Mullah Diesel, Altaf Terrorist Hussain etc as one of the unvoteables for any sane Pakistani who yearns for democracy, rule of law, human rights, freedom of speech, etc.

Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
If army really DID something about corrupt political leaders in a decade of government, only then you can rely on it in future. Instead, they formed alliances with them, encouraged lotaism, gave them a license to flee the country, and gave us NRO.
How many Political leaders were CONVICTED of corruption during 9 years of dear military rule? If they cannot do something about it, why make it an excuse to take over?
Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
Job descriptions
Politicians: To represent people, work for the public's needs and fulfill promises made during campaign era. If unable to deliver, resign with dignity and allow competition to fill the gap.
Armed Forces: Protect the nation from armed conflicts, specifically at the border.
Neither of the two seems to be happening. Asking Army to fill the role of Politicians has not worked, does not work, and will not work. It's going to be another marry go-round.
When will our naive sheeple understand this. It's real simple. Hold your politicians accountable. Don't like how things are? Come out on streets and demand another election. Don't go calling Army, which is already occupied fighting for the nation's survival, as well as performing relief work which the incompetent Govt. should have been in-charge of.
Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
^^ That kind of a thing would be political suicide for any politician, it is amazing how he still commands supports among his loyalists.
One of his top lieutenants also claims openly in his khitaabs that Altaf Bhai has the ability to sense things before they happen (astagfrullah)... if interested, I can send you the clip too...
Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
Imran Khan is an opportunist politician. He was the 1st one to come out to support Mushrraf when he took over. He was campaigning for Mushrrafs referendum. When he turned against Mushrraf, he joined hands with NS to oust Mushrraf. This guy is a political clown & like other crooks, and he has no principles at all. Now, he is asking for military take over again? What an idiot.
Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
^^ Name calling is for grade-school. As far as Musharraf goes, there was widespread support when he took over and he was very popular till even 2004 or 2005.
Given a political theater filled with thieves, gangsters and drug barons, he's a breath of fresh air and is actually doing something to prove his candidacy for the highest post e.g. by building universities, hospitals, and generally coming across as a suave politician.
But hang on, explaining this to people who support siree-paavey munching crooks (or the gun toting dons in Karachi, for that matter) is not going to work, ever.
Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
Thanks. I skipped the grade school...so must've missed that part.
BTW, what Imran Khan is doing is no diff than what JI has been doing since creation of Pakistan. Its called negative politics. They would never be satisfied with no matter who is running the country & their purpose of existence is to tear down the govt of the day. That is never good for the country. As for his other work, I agree and he should stick to that. Politics is not for everyone.
Oh, also, calling for military coup is treason. Imran Khan has been demanding that Mushrraf should be tried for treason, what about him? Isn't he guilty of same crime?

Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
are we talking about the same interview.. he didn't say he supported (imran khan) army takeover he was ralking abou a revolution against the old system post floods?
Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
Pakistan has so far seen Martial Laws and Party Laws.. there hasn't been any democracy in the country... Party leaders are chairman/supreme commander because either they have INHERITED it by some WILL or they have founded and/or funded it...
None of the political party can claim to be the democratic.. the political parties in Pakistan are formed by certain groups i.e. Land lords, Industrialists and Army Generals... they rule people of Pakistan, they live like a parasite... and all they care is about their own good... nothing good for Pakistan and its People can come out of these Groups aka political parties...
Every crisis is cash-making opportunity for them... likes of Babar Awan, Rehman Malik and Zulfiqar Mirza cannot deliver any good... the alarming situation is even PML (N) has its share of Rehman Maliks, Babar Awan etc.. so no hope for any good from them either...
Then left our PML (Q) which is technically the group of MOST CORRUPT persons from PPP and PML (N)... ANP and MQM are lost cases as well.. there shop sells hatred and dead-bodies...
So in this scenario, we do need a change... and for the change we cannot rely on politicized interest groups known as political parties in Pakistan... Even Army of Pakistan do not hold any good reputation when it comes to ruling Pakistan and converting it in a developed and civilized society... as a matter of fact, the above garbage is product of the army rule...
What would be the best is, have an interim govt of technocrats... with following agenda....
1) Reforms in the political setup or political cleansing
2) Brutal accountibility of the current political elite and getting back the looted wealth
3) Economic Reforms or should i say revival
4) 20-30 years policy for education and economy
I would support any thing which comes and do the above

If you're saying that Imran doesn't believe in deal making with the most unscrupulous elements of Pakistani politics and under-the-table tactics used by jaahil Pakistani politicians with the support of their clan/ethnic backed political base, then I'm totally behind him.
He's made ABSOLUTELY NO STATEMENT supporting a military coup so please stop misquoting the guy. The news item posted is equals defamation and merits litigation against the reporting outlet.
The OP mentioned Altaf Hussain though and his stance is what is more worthy of discussion.
Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
in my opinion, this criminal, killer, thug has realized that his non-stop killing machine in karachi is going to get tough time from top brass as its becoming unbearable with every day that passes, and every increment in the kill-counter in the city.
so now he's trying to play reverse psychology on army...
Re: Altaf Hussain now demands Martial Law - Criticized by all parties
Imran khan did not say he supports Military Govt. we are making a mess out of his interview
this is what he said
"Agar Fauj Mukl aur system ko bachanay aee to Bismillah, Laikin Fauji Hakoomat ko ham support nahee Karaingay, supreme court kay through election karaey jaein"
see complete discussion on PTI's web forum, also he clarified himself in the same interview, and after sometime on geo as well
