Re: Najam Sethi's 35 Punctures
Considering it is Pakistan, it is not uncommon for people to do really fake news (worse than fox news if that is a compliment). I remember fake london times (published in islamabad) and christina fair saying pro-Pakistan stuff that turned out to be false. PTI fanbase is known for abusing people by calling them lifafa journalist (sana bucha) and taking mikes aways from questioners who were asking some tough questions in one of pre-election Imran khan town halls in karachi.
Even on this forum, the nirralas are second to only jiyalas; in fact, the nirralas s*hould look to PPP and especially MQM to see how parties with intellectuals can go down the gutter. * I never believed in the socialist con game that bhutto played in Pakistan after 1971, but you can't deny it that PPP initially did attract intellectuals even if their brain had taken the hike on the wrong trail fo commie socialism.
In the end, any false moves would only further Imran's image as an immature walnut who revolted against Miandad for personal gain in the eighties, not that of a more mature captain who worked with Miandad to win the WC in 1992.
Feudalism and family politics ruined PPP whereas MQM became another violent criminal gang. As long PTI doesn't go either way and stick to their pressure group politics, they will survive, if not remain successful. The fact that the party genuinely crosses all ethnic, class, regional and secraterian boundries leaves enough hope for it's future. Imran will probably retire into peaceful countryside in what 6-7 years, but he must leave behind a geuine political platform for young politicans and activists.
The problem no one really acknowledges the good work PTI is doing in KPK, media hardly ever highlights positive local developments irrespective of which party initiates it. Loads of positive initiatives are coming to surface. Instead of grilling Imran Khan for things he's been saying for past 13 years and pretending everyone's getting to hear his views on the War for the first time ever, how about media actually pay some attention to what promised changes he's bringing to KPK? I see lots of real exciting news small local newspapers, but such positivity is never reflected in websites like Dawn. It's like they are write news for their NRP readers.
With such a huge young population, the Pakistan media has intentionally failed to create a sense of hope, optimism and confidence. In all honesty, Pakistan will deeply regret this one day!
I hope and pray that Pakistanis see the end of this war, so finally they can move forward and focus on building a great nation they deserve to be. Just wrap it up and stop the violence.
