Re: Live Updates of Azadi March
Ego.
He could even have made a totally new, young chief minister in KPK, and kept his string in his hands. Not someone that already has the baggage of history like Khattak. I will, however, say that there is a lot of development in the province not all of which is reported.
I have had friends tell me that the police is now depoliticized, most government departments are functioning much better than before. And well, I am yet to hear a mega corruption scandal in KPK. For my money, in terms of management, that is the best province in Pakistan currently. I only wish it was highlighted better.
Let’s not bring nuclear weapons into it, though.
Nukes aren’t exactly jelly beans that anyone can go in and capture. In fact, Nawaz Sharif with his recent antics has defamed the military. Those who question will point to fact that even if our military is not rogue, there are elements in it that are. Not the way to go, but what can you expect from an illiterate prime minister.
Oh, and also this notion does not hold that Taliban or any other terrorist group will now onto Islamabad or our military installation in thousands and try to capture it. Our intelligence may be sleeping, but it is not dead. No one will try it, but if they do, they will eat submachine gun bullets. As I said, this is not the Middle East. It never will be. We have our own unique problems.
I believe that too. In fact, my belief is that nothing should be about personalities.
If I like and respect someone I do so because of what they do, how they behave. Not worship them blindfolded. Goes for politicians, sportsmen, anyone, really. Except for cartoons and characters. That, I can get behind without any issues. And that is because they are not real.
But to end this on your point on systems, you will never get systems working when you have corrupts like Nawaz Sharif and others on top. You just never will. Maybe in decades or a hundred years, things will automatically correct themselves, but by that time it will be too late. It is the lack of system that allows individuals like Nawaz Sharif to get to the top, after all. Him and his cronies.
You and I both want the best for Pakistan. The only difference is that I am not willing to settle for the lesser evil!
