Re: What is ‘Dawn Leaks’?
The example of India you quoted! Do you even know that the 1st general elections held in India was in 1951-52, i.e. four years after independence!!!
And first Marshal Law attempt in Pakistan was in 1948?
The notion that Quaid-e-Azam should have held election on 16 August 1947 is totally rubbish.
The country was under formation, millions were migrating, civil service was torn apart, treasury have its own issue and you are here questioning why elections were not held then and there…
The army’s lust of power is not confined till Pak Army; Eyptians, Syrian, Iraq, Turkey and Libya and later Bangladesh all these armies over-threw their civil govt in order to break status-quo and created biggesr status-quo ever…
So it is Dillema of “Ummah” , i dont know why but for some reasons the Generals of Muslim armies think it is their birth-right to be in power and they always finds likes of Khursheed Shah to back them up…
Who said elections on 16 August? A plan for elections on 16 August must have been presented instead of becoming first Governor General passing unilateral key decisions without the wishes of people then which ultimately broke his own Pakistan in 1971.
