The release of Nawaz sharif in the name of relief on medical grounds is the biggest slap on the face of current sham democracy in Pakistan. The question is where do we go from here because pti govt and Imran khan both are helpless against the establishment. Bear in mind Imran khan has a very weak govt because establishment has formed govt by sending majority of the electable to pti just before the last election and those electable can leave pti govt at any point on the instructions of establishment(Army). Bear in mind Pakistani Supreme Court also take dictation from the establishment.
Is there any party in Pakistan which can truly challenge the establishment and the answer is no. The only party can challenge establishment, the one which wouldn't compromise on it's basic agenda to come into power. Parties like pti,ppp and pmln they all have compromised with establishment to come into power. When you compromise as a political party to come into power then you have to take dictation from the establishment and you would be helpless in making hard decisions. This is exactly whats happening with pti and Imran khan. Imran khan has no control over the major decisions as a prime minister. He is just a dummy prime minister with no real power. If he tries to show his muscles to establishment he would be out of the govt or may be in Adyla jail just like Nawaz sharif.
In my opinion any party which wants to put establishment under control needs to keep an eye on the following points.
1 First thing first a party should have strong roots in the middle and lower middle class.
2 No one should be allowed to join the party from so called democratic parties like ppp pmln and pti because most of the top guys in these parties are under cover agents of the establishment
3 No electable should be allowed to join the party,again they all are puppets of establishment .
4 Increase party membership to a level where establishment cant dictate you.
5 Coming into power should not be the only aim of a political party.
6 If a political party has huge followers and members even their pressure on establishment and on the govt is enough to change the country.
7 Remember a strong opposition which does not compromise on its manifesto can also change the country.One does not need to be in govt to serve the country. A party can work as a pressure groups as well.
8 To deal with Establishment the most important thing is Presidential form of govt. The current west minister role model in Pakistan can only strengthen establishment not the govt. Release of Nawaz sharif is the prime example of our weak westminster democracy.Westminster democracy can only work in the countries like UK but not in the country like Pakistan.In our democracy only rich and powerful people come to parliament in order to make themselves more richer and more powerful.
Last but not the least Imran khan has to resign to gain some respect or he can carry on as dummy prime minister with no power.The ball is in Imran khan court and now its up to him how he plays though he has to play his shot as soon as possible. The clock is ticking TIK TOK TIK TOK.
