Well-played London.
Well-played Sharifs and Zardaris.
Indeed, the umbilical cord of the "chosen" few in our hapless land is still firmly tied with London; unbeknownst perhaps even to themselves, but who cares that delayed clamping or unclamping of the cord could really be detrimental?! The bitter truth: the Quaid and Liaquat did try to proactively cut this umbilical cord and paid with their lives.
The biggest question that everyone must ask right now is that
how could an unelected, unrepresentative junta of crooks and cronies imposed on this country genuinely defend the interests of Pakistan, let alone negotiate and sign a long-term treaty with India and reshape South Asia? Is it the "reunion" that Mian Nawaz Sharif has been dreaming of since 1991-92? Doesn't it all make more sense now that, from Hyde Park to Jati Umra, the Sharifs are out croaking at full throats? Haven't we seen enough of the illegal, unconstitutional, illegitimate 26th Amendment already hammered down the country? This
country needs, more than ever before, an
immediate dissolution of all provincial and national assemblies and fresh general elections NOW to return Allah SWT's Imanah and trust to His people, who may then negotiate with India and defend and advance Pakistan's interests. Only a genuinely elected and mandated government could do this, and thereby also resolve all our internal and external disputes and usher in internal/external stability and a stable and prosperous South Asia.
Secondly, now that this so-called "operation" is over, it is paramount for the public to know (1)
Who proposed and who approved this so-called "operation" "
Bunyan Marsous",
esp its name? And (2)
Were prior inputs, consults or concurrence, direct/indirect, from London or Washington obtained? Will someone dig this out?
- Yes, "
Bunyan Marsous" is mentioned in Surah al-Saff, verse 4. But did one read Surah al-Baqarah, verse 208, as well? And much more? How could one that encourages & normalizes
Zina - probably one of the gravest sins after
Shirk - and runs Honeytrap Wings under one's direct command, recruits girls and women of this nation into forced adultery and prostitution, runs porn sites globally, and much more... be allowed or condoned to cherry-pick the Noble Quran for own personal, political and administrative expediencies?!
- Also, importantly, some might agree that there is a generally standard convention in post-Westphalian nation-state militaries that a military operation would & should invariably NOT have the same name, as the one executed by a peer or themselves, especially if it's recent history. In medieval ages and colonial empires, it sometimes used to happen but out of different considerations. Alas, afaik, nobody seems to have picked up so far and rather resorted to the same chest-thumping, as always. With all due respect and humility, please recall that, in recent history, "
al bunyan al marsous" was also the name of Misration
militia raised, funded, armed, advised by who - yours truly, London, Washington and Ankara, during the post-Gaddafi civil war, and of their "
operation" (aka Battle of Sirte) to fight ISIL and Khalifa Haftar in
Libya in/around 2016. So,
why wouldn't the same names & SOPs from the Levant & the Maghreb get recycled in Pakistan, when the apparent actors may change but the script-writers & string-pullers still seem the same??
- So who's telling the whole truth, nothing but the truth, and who're the winners, the losers, and the napkins of all this? Perhaps, hold your breath; sadly, we seem to be in for an interesting ride hereon.
