The Phoenix(PTI) will
rise
So cho Pakistan kee khaathir
Ik naee orhaan kee khaathir
Niklo Pakistan kee khaathir
“The only thing that we learn from
history is that we learn nothing from history.” (The German philosopher Georg
Hegel)
We, yet again, find ourselves in the
midst of crises: political turmoil, near economic meltdown, critical and
dangerous disrespect for both the judiciary and the constitution and terror
attacks in parts of our country. We are used to such upheavals but this time
the situation is worse than ever.
The role of the army in deciding the
political fate of the country has been decisive since its inception: the
military establishment has either been the king or the king maker. We, as a
nation, have miserably failed to learn the lesson of history. The most worrying
is the failure of the elite- both political and military- to learn their lesson:
the seesaw of power continues at the whim of the establishment. The result is
that we find ourselves far behind in all aspects even from country like
Bangladesh.
The like-minded (safely more than 70%
of the Jamhoor) have rallied around the Captain to some extent because
of his personality but to a greater extent because of their hate for the old-guards.
There seems to be a scuffle (orchestrated and fueled by the forces of status
quo) between the military elite and the like-minded. The most worrying and
detesting part of the scuffle for one is that the most potent uniting force,
the military, may lose its prestige to both the Jamhoor and the enemy. The
like-minded have been cornered and crushed for the past few months like an occupied
nation. The military leaders and the leadership of the like-minded have to
analyze the situation on ground.
This is an era of Fifth-generation
warfare (5GW). It is the war of perceptions and information. It aims to distort
the perception of the masses to give a manipulated view of the world and
politics. There is a build-up of 5GW on the streets and in the national media (both
print and electronic): the planner is invisible(!)
The
military leadership has to be very prudent in using this weapon of ‘distortion’
with respect to the ‘Jamhoor’. The weapon may go counterproductive if misguided
or misused. General Sir, field officers with acumen who can feel the pulse of
the ‘Jamhoor’. Nobody is buying what is being portrayed in the national
media: the ‘Jamhoor’ of the day has come of age.
It seems that the 5GW guided missile
has been misguided and misused. The old-guards cunningly planned to kill two
birds-the military leadership and the like-minded- with one stone. They have
been trying to distort the perception of the Jamhoor by projecting the
scuffle as a personal vendetta of the military leadership, especially of
General Asim Munir for reasons.
Events leading to 9th May had an
evil method behind it: instigation, jeer(to pump up emotional youth), torture
etc. The civil bureaucracy is in the hands of the PDM and they are using it
mercilessly to build up their case and to wage 5GW against the Jamhoor
and the military. The brutal handling of the ‘Azadi March I; the assassination attempt on Imran during Azadi Mach II.
Higher Judiciary is being ridiculed,
not somewhere else but in the Parliament! The Parliament, the custodian of the
constitution, mercilessly breached the constitution on so many occasions. Superior
Judiciary decisions were refused to be implemented. Constitutionally, all
institutions have to come in aid of the Superior Judiciary but surprisingly none
of them came.
More than a century of FIRs were lodged
against the Captain in a very peculiar way. The climax of the evil conspiracy
hatched was that the Captain was arrested and crowds were lured towards unguarded
military installations. No judicial or independent inquiry was conducted.
The leadership of PTI is jailed and are
only given bail when they are ready to hold a press conference to say bye-bye to
PTI. A king’s party, rather, king’s parties are under ‘construction’: the spiritless
faces of those joining the king’s parties say it all!
The Punjab Police is acting like foreign
occupying forces of the 19th century. Their atrocities against the
workers and leadership of PTI resembled the fascism of the Nazi Germany.
The streets talk of a conspiracy. PDM would
craftily hint that what has and still happening is beyond their power and that
someone else is the planner and executor. The leadership of the PDM are successful in
pitching the ‘Jamhoor’ against the
military: 5GW won for the time being!
Chief, you and the other top brass are the
most highly decorated, extensively and expensively trained officers of the
country and vendetta, especially, against your own people is least expected of you. Hazrat Ali(ra), was about to cut off
the head of his victim, the desperate man spat on his face. Ali(ra) spared his
life and released him, saying that if he had killed the man then, his motive
will not remain purely for the cause of Allah but due to personal anger. One is
sure that vendetta in non-existent in
the dictionary of the military leadership: please give a shut up call to the
PDM. The alternative given in the shape of PDM is tested and proven rotten,
corrupt, selfish and incapable: the ‘Jamhoor’ will never accept them.
Captain, we, the like-minded,
believe in you: you are a true leader and a fighter. We also believe in
ourselves and are confident that soon the phoenix will rise from the ashes of
the aromatic branches and spices to complete the agenda that we dreamt of.
Three sentences for you. Learn from your mistake. Be prudent in selection of
your companion. Consider the masses as your sons and daughters. Three words to
ponder on: sacrifice, reconciliation and ‘thadreej’(
the gradual way; the Islamic way)
Some among us may have strayed but
we believe in peace, not in war; we stand for construction rather than destruction.
Treat us as patriotic and respectable citizen with human rights. Do not behave
like an occupying force of the 19th century.
Ik naee
orhaan kee khaathir
I am Tahir Zaman
I am Imran
