Thus, our country’s politics by nature works very quickly and unpredictably, that’s why anything can happen before every general election, but despite all the complications, the pendulum of power politics keeps swinging with the policies of world powers. Yes, although after the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, some factors of internal and external politics have come out of the influence of the invisible demon that has been shadowing our destiny since the 19th century, but still there are such tools in the hands of the world powers. The military culture of regional terrorist organizations including Daesh, which can keep us worried for a long time, has become a source of inspiration for us.
Unfortunately, the political factors are not so organized and coordinated that we can enjoy the natural privilege of internal autonomy and independent foreign policy, but our traditional callousness and lack of mental flexibility will always stand in the way of regulating the political chaos i.e. self-made. For example, we are not yet able to make our own decisions about our destiny. In 2013, the same chaotic tendencies that created chaos and turmoil in the soul of our society by cultivating violence through Khan in 2013 still prevent society from adopting normal functions, not far off during elections. Let the ever-changing atmosphere make this never-ending conflict the impetus for new series of causes.
Sophisticated events like former interior minister Sarfaraz Bugti’s joining the People’s Party and Faisal Vawda’s symbolic meeting with Asif Ali Zardari are not very important, but the invisible global fabric is definitely showing an extraordinary change. What will the new political arrangement be like? No one knows it, but this arrangement cannot be separated from the economic interests and strategic strategy of the world powers in South Asia, because currently our national leadership is engaged in repeating the same intellectual duties that was doing in 1971.
With a slight difference in time and place, the current political conflict will also upset the internal political balance of our state in the same way that undesirable tensions gripped public sentiment in the seventies and led us to war. But what if these complex political factors have been playing an important role in maintaining an unstable nation for the last fifty years, we should be grateful to those untrimmed and weak politicians who have troubled the global and local authorities with their intemperance. And taught us to question our frozen political beliefs.
It was the aggressive resistance of the founding PTI against the establishment which, apart from breaking the internal structure of power, affected the fragility of international relations and once again showed the way of our powerful Washington, which after the withdrawal from Kabul, the Americans His hand was shaken. It is not a mere coincidence that the activities of some centrist groups besides terrorist organizations have accelerated on the side of Khan’s undirected verbal attacks. Which shook the opposition political parties apart from Establishment.
There is no doubt that we should have the right to maintain balanced diplomatic relations with East and West like India, but our national leadership lacks the mental flexibility to carve out space for itself among world powers with conflicting interests. Therefore, in the tumultuous context of strained relations with the United States, the outcome of the upcoming general election on February 8 may turn out to be one of the most consequential in our recent history. The nuances doubled the importance of Army Chief General Asim Munir’s visit to the United States. Apparently, this visit was based on routine defense issues and some strategic issues, but in these circumstances, we should consider these high-level activities in the country’s internal political situation and national policy. Cannot be separated from it.
According to available information, General Asim Munir’s meetings with senior officials in Washington last week seemed to revolve around long-standing issues such as rebuilding complex diplomatic ties and counter-terrorism in South Asia, whose center of gravity is the Taliban regime in Kabul. However, it is not easy to fully grasp the dynamics of Pak-US relations, which span over a century, according to ISPR, in discussions with US officials, counter-terrorism and defense cooperation as key areas of mutual interest.
The parties have agreed to continue discussions and expand the scope of mutual interests. In retrospect, after the violent secession of Bangladesh in 1971, the rest of Pakistan saw a spate of totalitarian military dictatorships and powerless civilian governments, usually associated with the intertwining authoritarian regimes of the Bhutto and Sharif dynasties. In addition to being constantly challenged by giving special features, the symbolic concept of civilian governance was also created in the country through the respective periods of these two parties, People’s Party and Muslim League-N.
Regardless of regional political parties, national parties also flourished in the same circles, for example, with Sindhi Nizism, Sindh has historically been the center of support for the PPP, while in Punjab it has generally been the PML. Ann’s support was extended. The latter province, being by far the most populous province in the country, has been the center of power politics as governments are formed and broken by winning majority votes in Punjab.
However, in order to keep the scope of the national parties like the current ruling People’s Party and Nawaz League covering the whole country, they are paving the way for these electables of all provinces including Balochistan to be associated with the national parties. At a time like this, allowing the national political parties to reorganize may exclude these regional and religious parties from future politics, which are gradually being weakened by the turbulent tides of time.
However, after being oppressed by General Musharraf’s martial law in the past, when the leadership of the above-mentioned two parties rose above the petty political enmities and played a role in the wider national context, they signed the Democratic Charter in 2005 and signed the Civilian Supremacy. Instead of finding the meaning of the dream, establishment had developed the strategy of maintaining the political status quo through Khan’s Tehreek-e-Insaaf and made the PTI a significant political force in the first two decades of the new millennium and when President Obama established the office of the Islamic Emirate in Doha to negotiate with the Taliban in 2012, he needed the support of a right-wing semi-secular party in Pakistan that is anti-national. PTI was the example of US being able to manage psychology.
