Nawaz Sharif vs Parvez Musharraf
(Abida Rahmani , Islamabad)
Right now Nawaz Sharif
government is unable to clear the mess and the enormous problems which the
Pakistani nation and country is facing.
There are so many drastic issues which need to be resolved immediately . On top
of the list is terrorism, then the energy crises, financial issues and so on. In
this country where Musharraf is like a lost or tired horse now. It is just like
creating an necessary scenario and chaos. In the country where the foreign
mountaineers and their guide are unsafe and killed brutally for their fault of
exploring the grandeurs of karakorams and helping out the tourism industry. The
same day daily Dawn bring out a fabulous issue on northern areas," where are the
tourists".? Every day we are having mass murders, target killing, suicide
bombing and sectarian murders. He and his government should focus on resolving
these issues and to bring back the country on the path of harmony and
prosperity.
My heart bleeds when I see hundreds of cars lined up @ the gas stations to fill
up CNG which is now a worn out commodity and available only 2-3 days a week. So
many of the drivers just rely on this source. Where electricity is off on every
other hour in the capital city, where the small kids are growing up with all
these nonsense issues and a lot of potential and talent is lost because of
these. Where the Chief Justice is taking some ridiculous steps now and then
.People are just tired of him and his steps. Most of them now praise Musharraf
who tackled him.
I know that Musharraf has committed blunders but he was not alone . He had his
council of integrity , solidarity and ideology comprising top brass from Army
and civil.May be he did that in the benefit of Pakistan , which was the need of
the hour at that time.
Most of the people assume it as a Noora Kushti , just to divert people from
potential threats and problems.
For Nawaz Sharif it is a golden chance to deliver some good and positive steps.
otherwise GHQ is ready to take over and there are speculations that they will
just wait for a year or so. Zardari was lucky enough to be spared and we wish
the democracy to go on.
Yesterday the TV was running the news about Zardari sending 500 crates of
mangoes to Nawaz. What significance this news has for the masses? These kind of
news are for the nations who are well off with every thing and have no vital
issues. It also shows the great relations between them.
It seems Nawaz did not learn from his past mistakes and his tenures. Each time
he creates a controversy , a rift and his tenure is left and folded in the
middle. The public, masses wish a relief to their problems. The looters ,the
plunderers should be apprehended. The money should be brought back .the
corruption should be rooted out.
About the watch issue, I know he can afford a billion dollar watch but is it
appropriate for a crying , deprived nation and downtrodden masses . Is this not
a big joke with them the value a poor country's head of the state spends on his
watch.
Many thanks!
