PAKISTANI ESTABLISHMENT

  

The various events in Pakistan which unfolds with death,assisanation,elimination,jihadi killings,terrorism are chilling reminders of the things to come. Pakistan is on its way to exploding into a fiery ball of fire. There are many in Pakistan who are making their best efforts to warn of the coming doom.Through writings,editorials and on the internet a set of determined and secular minded Pakistanis are sending messages to the Establishment in Pakistan to abandon the path of self destruction. To bring a change in thinking. To subordinate the Military to the democratically elected civilian government. But it is sad that their efforts are not bringing any change of heart and mind. The mindless pursuit of hatred against India and Islam bigotry has blinded this special class of rulers in that country. Today Pakistan is considered the synonym for terrorism and Islamic bigotry. The rulers have ensured to create and nourish a enviorment in which bigotry and hatred can take roots and flourish. The killing of Salman Taseer and its celebration was the icing on the cake of bigotry. It was also the beginning of stifling the few remaining sane voices  in that country.

The word Estabishment often comes in context to Pak and it is factually correct that this very Establishment is the core of evil. Unless this core is destroyed the healing process cannot start. Stephen Cohen in his book ‘ Idea of Pakistan’ has defined the Estabishment in Pakistan as :

“An informal political system that ties together the senior ranks of the military,the civil service,key members of the judiciary, and other elites . The membership requires adherance to a common set of beliefs: that India must be countered at every turn; that nuclear weapons have endowed Pakistan with security and status; that the fight for Jammu & Kashmir is unfinished buisness from the time of partition; that large scale social reforms such as land redistribution are unacceptable; that the uneducated and illiterate masses deserve only contempt; that vociferous muslim nationalism is desirable,but true Islamism is not; and that Washington is to be despised but fully taken advantage of”

In addition to the above the pursuit of power is no doubt the belief of this oligarchy.

It is sad to see that each pillars of the Pakistani nation fall one by one before this mighty Establishment. The recent example is President Zardari. Benazir Bhutto in her last will and testament described him as courageous and honest person. It is good, that she is no more to see this man who betrayed everything she stood for. He has not only consented to the evil designs of the establishment but closed his eyes to all their doings solely to remain in power. Benazir always said that incase of her killing, Musharaf was to be held responsible. Even the UNO report blames Musharaf for this dastardly act. Now Zardari allowed this killer of Benazir to leave Pakistan and to enjoy a comfortable life in London.

Apart from this Zardari increased the tenure of Gen Kayani for further 3 years thereby confirming his allegiance to the Establishment. It should not be forgotten that Gen Kayani is a protégé of Musharaf. This action of increasing the tenure of Kayani further tightened the noose around Pak.

Zardari  should have led the people of Pakistan to liberate themselves from the clutches of the Military establishment and to establish for once and for all the supremacy of people power. Instead he chose to sit ineffectually on the seat of the President and eat Biryani from the hands of this evil Establishment.

The less we talk of Gilani and Rehman Malik is better . Rehman Malik scooted away just before Benazir was killed as if he knew that a bomb was to be exploded. The car  carrying Malik  was just behind Benazir vehicle and was not supposed to leave since it was a bullet proof standby car.Why did Rehman Malik told the driver to scoot? This is a million dollar question which gives birth to a more powerful conspiracy.The silence of Zardari on all such matters points to some unexpected conclusions.Gilani is supposed to be the PM of Pakistan but when he negotiates on state matters he takes along Gen Kayani as if he is Member of the parliament. He has not opened his mouth to condemn the utter failure of the ISI/Military to protect the Karachi Naval Airbase. Infact he has not come out with any statement on the attack.

I feel the PPP which was the hope for Pak has been overtaken by the Establishment. The intellectuals and well meaning persons in Pak are not in a position to raise  and mobilise oppostion on the ground level. Pakistan can only be saved by a miracle from a prophet who is yet to come and who would lead them on the right path. As far as India is concerned it has all the good wishes for this ill fated country and can only hope that good times will come when both neighbours sit together and eat lunch and dinner.
