Off The Net

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 – 1860)

Today I was to write on Pakistan’s internal situation that is pathetic due to corruption, favourtism, nepotism, inefficiency to say the least.  People of Pakistan have lost total faith in the present political setup, they are demanding Army takeover to bring law and order in the country besides installing an efficient and honest government of no more than 25 technocrats who would build the socio-economic  foundations of the country.
The government is busy in denying every truth and fact that they are confronted with. It’s in every party’s tradition to lie and lie so loud that it better be accepted as truth. Here PPP is no exception therefore all the ills have become political culture in Pakistan.
Now Yousaf Raza Gillani who has been very subtly asked by Angelina Julie to come over to Hollywood for your looks and running the government is a very serious business. The Prime Minister had to admit the irregularities that he been doing in appointing his jail mates to lucrative posts like Chairman Oil and Gas Development Corporation and so is his cabinet busy in making their day as if tomorrow won’t come.
Dr Imran Farooq’s murder in London has caused a scare in all sane minds. People are whispering about the murder as an inside doing of MQM. Imran farooq was an important founding member of the party but now he had been suspended or expelled for the last two years. It is believed by most that his elimination had become a must or it was feared that all the secrets of MQM would be out that could endanger Altaf Hussain’s life.  As the days pass more and more details will unfurl but all depends on the honesty of British government and Scotland Yard.
As the situation in Kashmir gets more tense more and more attention it would get. What India claimed to be an outside interference rather openly blaming Pakistan can no longer hide the truth. Now the truth has entered the stage where it has been accepted as self-evident truth. Its proof is that Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) dubbed as ‘Oh I C’ by Mahateer  Muhammad for its inaction and disastrous  performance. OIC has never had a coherent voice on an issue facing the Muslim World. Today its Secretary General has shocked everyone when he has demanded that New Delhi needs to take immediate steps to bring the violence in Kashmir to an end.
He also recounted that “India and Pakistan have fought two wars over the disputed region of Kashmir. Protesters have stormed government troops for three consecutive summers calling for Kashmiri independence from India or a merger with Pakistan.” The Secretary General needs to refresh his knowledge, India-Pakistan have fought four wars besides the years long constant war of attrition across the cease fire line now known as Line Of Control, courtesy Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. Naming it as LOC was a secret acceptance by Zulfiar Bhutto as the de-facto border between the two countries but he never had the guts to speak the truth and inform the public. The fear of public backlash was far greater than the mileage that he wanted to draw.
