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.

CPM CRUSHED

14-05-2011 The defeat of the CPM in West Bengal after 34 years was truly as Mamta Banerjee described a  2nd independence. It will certainly bring in fresh air to the stale atmosphere of the state which suffocated its progress. New and progressive ideas to develop the state would emerge and outdated and dead ideology perpetuated by CPM could be thrown out.
It is very important at this stage to clearly identify the steps to be taken in governance by the new govt to remove the accumulated garbage. It would be wise to first study the drawbacks of the CPM governance. In my view the CPM thoughts and beliefs are basically governed by a false notion that their policies and actions are to favour the poor. The actual fact is that their actions never benefited the poor and backward classses.It made them more poorer. By blocking investment in Industry their ideology may have gained but on the ground it deprived people of employment. Similarly by raising trade unions and through them putting impossible demands to the Govt and going on long strikes they were responsible for crores of losses. By giving call for strikes and shutting  profitable units they deprived people of their legitimate earnings.
They were also responsible for  sowing a militant type of temperament in their cadres which bullied and abused the management. This ultimately had a detrimental effect in the running of the organisations and led to losses and closures
Even in the national field their conduct was shameful. Without any cohesive reason they blocked the Nuclear Treaty and withdrew support from the present Govt.What else proof is required for their degraded and depraved mentality.
Infact the CPM cannot contribute anything at this stage to the development of the people or the nation. They have to reincarnate themselves to be of any relevance.
Now coming to Mamta Banerjee it is clear she would have to reverse a lot of wrong policies. Among these is first to let flourish new ideas and solutions to various problems by engaging the buerocracy,NGO’s,and varied sections of society in discussions with a open mind as opposed to dictatorial mindset of the CPM.Certainly solutions for crucial problem will emerge.
It would be also necessary to counter act any volatile and destructive action by the wounded CPM. Any action by them to create mischief should be put down with a iron hand
Industrialist from India and rich nations should be invited to invest in the state. West Bengal has large resources which can be utilised to generate wealth and employment.
Agriculture is a priority. Farmers should be supplied with inputs and helped to procure modern agriculture equipments.
There are many possibilities and the task ahead is not easy for the new Govt. But surely this is the right Govt which is not chained to a rusty ideology.

THE END OF OSAMA

08-05-2011 Osama Bin Laden lazily reclined on his favorite rocking chair and opened the file marked confidential in bold letters. General Pasha has just left after handing over this file containing the names of CIA operators and their location in Pakistan. He has also conveyed the greetings of General Kayani.  Pasha is the chief of the ISI and the architect of Al Queda  in Pakistan. He was the person who persuaded Osama  to come to Pakistan where he provided him a safe house in the Cantonment  area of the city of Abbotabad. It was a palatial house located in the midst of the Pakistan elite residential area. It was the last place for anyone to suspect that it was the resident of the famous Terrorist of all times. Osama opened the file and read with satisfaction its content. Tomorrow he will give instruction to his second –in –command Zawahiri to go through the names and make necessary strategy to eliminate these people. He switched on the TV and started seeing some of his recorded visuals proclaiming  jihad to eliminate the infidels. He admired himself and thought this had certainly rattled the USA when it was distributed for world wide viewing. For the last 5 years he was provided all the recording equipment from his ISI friends. For all purpose this has become his HQ . Someday he would be taking over Pakistan and its nuclear facilities and then the job would be finally completed.
His wife Amal came upstairs and gave him a glass of milk soaked with dry fruits from Afghanistan. He was lucky to get this 5th wife which was half his age and was dedicated to him.
He sipped the milk and imagined the pleasurable night which lay ahead. It was time to sleep. He switched off the lights and lay on a luxurious and comfortable bed. It was the night of 2nd of May,2011, 1.00 AM.
He was unaware that from the rooftop of a house just across the road a bright blue light had started to blink continously.
President Obama was busy playing golf when the Military attache of the White House came to him and whispered something in his ears. Obama simply nodded and then looking at his companion apologised to him with a smile. He smiled and said he has to go since Michelle was looking for him.
He entered the palatial building and walking fast entered the elevator to take him deep down to a secret room. As he entered, the elite of group of people sitting inside stood up. There was the CIA  head Panatte,Secretary of state Hillary,Head of the NSA,Joint  Chief of staff and heads of the  various security agencies. The Commander of the dreaded Navy Seals was also there. The navy seals was a highly secret and formidable force specially created for covert operations. It is said that the navy seals could destroy and eliminate any threat deep inside the enemy territory. Obama beckoned every one to take their seats and comfortably settled on a sofa, his long legs extended before him. A large blinking board displayed the word GERONIMA in red. All around the big table lay scattered laptops and communication equipments. On the wall before them there was a large lcd screen continously showing images from Kandhar through a complicated net work of satellites hung high above in space.
Obama had yesterday signed the death warrant of Osama and presently was here to witness the event. The images which was now coming on the screen showed a group of 25 commandos of the navy seal standing beside 3 helicopters. The helicopters were black hawks the most rugged multipurpose machines. For this operations they were suitably modified to fool the Pakistani radars and for flying at very low altitudes.
It was about 1AM when the leader of the navy seal received a cryptic message on his special mobile like box.It meant that the lights of the house in Attobbad has been switched off . It meant that the enemy has retired for the night. He waved his hand over his head and all the 3 helicopters were airborne together with the commandos in a flash. The night was dark and cold and it seemed from high above that the whole world was fast asleep. There was a dead silence inside the machines as it flew above, cutting the darkness of the night towards its target. Suddenly  the machines lost their height dipped downwards until one can see the lights and the ground below. They had entered Pakistan and now flying fast toward the mansion where Osama soundly slept. Pakistani defenses were unaware of the intrusion. At 1.25 AM the command was shouted for readiness and at 1.30 AM with a thud 2 helicopters landed precisely inside the compound where as the 3rd helicopter developed a snag and the commandos in it had to jump out.The house and the area was in pitch dark. Now all the commandos where outside and running towards the entrance of the house. Loaded with night vision devices they were able to see clearly in the dark. They found that the iron doors were locked. There was no time to waste. They planted the explosives and with a loud bang the walls and doors came apart. Inside a group of people  started firing at them but were not effective. All of them were killed. On the first floor a group of women and children were huddled in a corner. They were unharmed and were locked in the room from outside. The commandos started climbing the stairs to reach the 2nd floor but it seemed that the occupants had blocked the staircase with furniture. A grenade was flung and the furniture evaporated. As the  lead commando reached the door of the room on the top, a woman rushed out and was shot in the legs. She was Amal. As she lay writhing in pain the commandos entered the room and saw Osama trying to go for a AK47 nearby. He was shot on the chest and his head was blown off. As he fell down the floor turned red. The entire room was littered with books,computers , harddisk and jihadi literature. In a swift movement the body of Osama was dragged outside the room and downstairs with his head hitting each stair with a thud. The entire content of the rooms including computers and hard disks were packed in a special bag brought for the purpose.
The body of Osama as well as the entire content found in the room was dumped in one the helicopters. The 3rd damaged helicopter was blowup. The commandos were airborne and heading  towards their base in Kandhar. The entire operation took less than 40 minutes.
At white house president Obama and his team sat tensely looking at the events unfold on the large screen.Suddently in bold letters the word EKIA started flashing on the screen. There was a broad smile on the face of the President and everybody stood and applauded the accomplishment of the mission. EKIA stood for ‘enemy killed in action’. The revenge for  26/11 has been taken.
On the same day it was told that Osama body was taken on USS Carlwinson and dumped in the Arabian sea. Some would say it was buried in the sea.
