The mid-term polls seem inevitable under the prevailing circumstances
as the end of political confrontation between the government and the
protesting parties continued. The PTI and PAT continued sit-ins for the
50th consecutive day while the PTI Chief Imran Khan once
again told the rulers loud in clear that he would not end sit-in until
the resolution of his demand i.e. resignation of the Prime Minister
Nawaz Sharif. His commitment was visible during his address to another
successful procession held in Mianwali on Thursday. Imran Khan
challenged Nawaz Shairf publicly to arrange even twenty percent of this
crowd in a meeting and he (Imran Khan) would concede that there was no
rigging in the elections.
PTI chief maintained that PML-N has won the 2013 polls through massive rigging and assured the gathering that he has caught Nawaz Sharif while cheating and will not leave him. Imran Khan also told that he will get Pakistan free as he had never surrendered in the past and will not allow the people to surrender to rigging now. He asked the Prime Minister not to resign in haste. PTI chief also vowed to make a new Pakistan where the poor will feel that the government was standing with them, introducing best local government system to resolve local issues he also told the people that the Parliamentarians would not be allocated development funds.
The ruling party facing numerous problems due to bad governance and its failure to fulfill the promises it made to the general public before winning the 2013 polls. Taking corrupt practicee to the task, ending nepotism, VIP culture and provision of cheap and speedy justice to the common man were the promises he and his party leaders made to the people. Most of the Pakistanis were not politically matured before 2013 polls but credit definitely goes to the PTI chief Imran Khan in particular while the PAT chief Dr Tahir ul Qadri who encourage the masses to stand up for their rights. Imran Khan no doubt by launching anti-government movement has created awareness among the masses about their democratic rights and how to fight for achieving their rights as enshrined in the Constitution of Pakistan.
The PTI received overwhelming response of the people of all walks due to his just struggle to expose the rigging committed in the 2013 polls. The Prime Minister, Chief Minister and rest of their cabinets as well party leaders are not ready to accept the charges of rigging. If their hands were cleaned, then they should have contacted PTI and other parties who also raised voices against the rigging and the role played by the Election Commission’s officials and the ROs. Had the Nawaz Sharif decided earlier to form commission to probe the charges of rigging, he would not have to face the current political crisis. The political crisis has reached to an extent that now holding of mid-term elections seems inevitable. The PML-N government is under severe criticism for not paying any heeds to the genuine demand of the PTI, mishandling the Model Town tragedy, failing to end corruption and VIP culture etc.
The involvement of two ministers has been reportedly aired on electronic media with footage. Punjab Law Minister Rana Mashood once again caught in the video openly talking about accepting bribes and unveiling the misdeeds on his part while acting as mediator. Another story of mall-practice has also been surfaced on the electronic media showing electricity being supplied to his house directly from the pole outside the house. Later a meter installed by the GESCO and a bill for the month of August amounting to Rs 27,000 was also shown in which connection number or which year/month the meter was installed was not mentioned. The reports of involvement of alleged corruption by the ministers would definitely damage the ruling party’s popularity which is already on the decline.
Most of the parliamentary parties are now appeared changing their stance as PPP’s Senator who during joint session termed the demand of PTI unconstitutional arguing that despite having reservations PPP decided to accept the results for the sake of democracy, now ready to issue white papers on the rigging in 2013 polls. Whereas JUI-F, PKaWMP’s heads are keeping low profile and even issued any statements with regard to the political deadlock and sit-ins in Islamabad.
The Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif after assuming power focused his attention on the power crises and started touring abroad to lure foreign investors to help resolve the energy crisis. He paid little attention to put and to inflation, employment, corruption and worsening law and order situation.The PM still have time to revisit the policies and take steps to address the genuine problems of the masses. PM has to take to the task to corrupt practice either belong to PML-N or any other party besides showing flexibility while dealing opponents otherwise he would have no option but to announce mid-term polls.
