Re: Senate rises against PTI for siding with Taliban
Imran’s been silent? Really?
If anything his policies have been overexposed and over analysed. He’s the only one politician who has persistently talked about ways of getting out of this war even at the expense of delaying his political success. Right now, neither Imran is blaming the US nor the US is coming up with anymore ‘do more’ rhetoric. For once, it seems the armed forces are under no pressure and have the total freedom to make their own policies, but then again, exactly why the army is so reluctant to take an initiative and have the civil administration follow the way? Now make everybody laugh and say Imran is an undercover COAS, hence the reason why army is so obedient to him.
It’s getting tedious to see handful of NRP’s beating the same old drum about ‘condemnation’, it feels as though they wake up every morning just to Google whether Immi has said anything against Taliban or not. This is it. This is Pakistani politics for them and this is whatever interest they have in seeing the wellbeing of Pakistanis. It is all about Imran! Every possible issue starts and ends at him. Such type of binary viewing of extremely complex issues helps no one. It might feel nice to have such philosophical debates from the comforts of your home in UK/US and decide should Pakistani go the Syrian way or not. However, the reality is Pakistanis made the decisions to vote for a quick and bloodless end to this war. They had heard every type of fancy Taliban ‘condemnation’ from Bush to Mushrraf, from Zardari to Altaf, from Asfandyar Wali Khan to Chaudry Shujaat and from Raisani to Billy B. All such condemnation brought ‘zero’ relief to the country and played no part in defeating terrorism. In fact, I must add, what a huge shame it is that it took so called pro Taliban parties like PMLN and PTI to bring violence to minimum level.
I’ve been following Pakistan and this war for the very first day and yes indeed, I see a big difference between Pakistan of today and the Pakistan of 2009 Therefore, if these parties can manage to control violence and decrease its intensity, I am hopeful that one day they’ll be able to get rid of completely as well. At the end of the day, I would support any decision that’ll come from the armed forces. PTI, it when comes to foreign policy doesn’t count for much, even I can admit to this fact, but God knows why some forever bitter and hopeless opponents of Imran are so desperate to paint him as significantly more powerful and influential than he actually is or can be.
