Re: Modi in Congress
Or Nawaz versus President Rouhani or Iran who I rate much higher than Modi given the difficult circumstances he inherited, and the milestone he has achieved despite everything.
Trust me, this is blessing in disguise for Pakistan. GHQ is paying close attention to the way likes of Rouhani, Modi, Ghani, Xi are taking their countries case forward. One can only hope that GHQ will eventually realise that they need to stop investing in people with criminal files just so they can maintain their political clout through blackmail, and let strong and independent personalities come through.
A popular general is no substitute for a strong PM. At the end of the day, Army needs a credible, popular and uncompromised civilian leader who can present and legitimatise their polices to the world with confidence.
That explains the recent meeting where cabinet ministers were called the GHQ to answer where is PM, were's the foreign office and who's running the country. It was quite a humiliating show.
It was indeed mortification of highest degree - if one has self respect - present GOP is devoid of any such characteristics - Period!
When things discussed internationally were blatantly giving message Quote " Squeeze Pakistan " Unquote and Foreign Office is high on most potent sleeping drugs then someone needs to fill up the vacuum.
That is why Foreign Office started babbling about NSG.
Seriously - this Govt., is least cohesive that one can ever come across; considering Pak is one of the 7 nuclear states, we have entire globe's focus for how are things being run.
Rouhani played his cards very shrewdly specially after King Salman took over - he knew that opportunity was there and he grasped it with both hands.
But again - coming back to the topic - Nawaz as a leader compared to Modi or for that matter to any true leader of any important country in the world; there is no hope as long as N$ remains saddled at the helm of affairs - numerous failures have been seen and a lot more to come - future is predicted based on past performance and experiences and not on magical dreams!
