Imran Khan Rally - SUGGESTIONS




It was quite encouraging to see the successful rally of Imran Khan today. In my personal opinion, Imran Khan should keep following aspects in mind as he proceeds further:-
1. He must ask and encourage the people of Pakistan particularly the youth (roughly 66 %) to cast their vote if they really want to see the change. Mere support in rallies and gatherings will not bring any positive outcome.
2. Seeing popularity of the Party, a lot of hungry and blood thirsty politicians may opt to join hands with Imran Khan. While reputed and honest politicians should be taken in the folds of the Party, blood sucking leeches must be kept out.
3. Educate the masses on the system of voting and its pitfalls in Pakistan. Intimidation, misplaced family / 'bradari' orientation and similar other factors mar voting spirit in our country. If people are aware of voting system intricacies, they may be able to safeguard themselves from negative influences.
4. Getting renowned and well reputed personalities from different walks of life in Pakistan e.g. singers, players, etc with large public following in Pakistan in the folds of Tehreek i Insaf can be worthwhile. This may further multiply Party's vote bank.
5. Party's manifesto must be given wide publicity in print and electronic media as well as in rallies etc.
6. Imran Khan must keep foreign policy implications of the campaign as well its impact on foreign audience including foreign govts in mind. Foreign impressions would impact upon internal political dynamics of the country.
7. Imran Khan's greatest strength is his credibility in the eyes of Pakistanis. He must jealously guard it. Political hawks would try their best to make him controversial in the eyes of the public. His campaign must take care of this factor.
8. Do not get overwhelmed by the positive response of the public to Party's rallies and gatherings. Stay balanced and composed as flamboyant statements uttered in sheer exuberance can cost Imran his personal and Party's standing. Do not make unrealistic promises which cannot be met in near term particularly. After all, we are a highly emotional nation with patience already running very low.

We all wish Imran Khan and our beloved Pakistan, the BEST. May Allah be with us all (Ameen

India’s Strategic Overreach and Pakistan’s Enduring Deterrence

The recent conflict triggered by India has once again exposed the fragile underpinnings of South Asia’s strategic balance. While the world was watching flashpoints in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, a familiar tension reignited in the subcontinent — one that could have spiraled into a major regional war had it not been for the presence of nuclear deterrents and calibrated restraint by Pakistan. The broader global environment today is characterized by multipolar flux. The United States is recalibrating its alliances, China is asserting itself across multiple domains, and middle powers are jockeying for influence in a reconfigured international order. In such a world, India aspires to position itself as a counterweight to China and a preferred partner for the West. However, its recent misadventure against Pakistan, and the fallout that followed, have punctured several illusions about its military prowess, strategic judgment, and global standing. A Conflict of Narratives and Capabil...

MEDIA-INSPIRED ATTITUDES

In the preceding days, I have had some strange experiences , which I owe to the imprudence of our media and machinations of our "characterless" politicians. Both “entities” have exploited and continue to hold hostage the innocent Pakistanis for their self-centered petty gains. Let me travel with you to not so distant past when media with its cohorts-the wicked politicians, initiated a venomous campaign to malign our Armed Forces. The campaign is not yet over though there is a relative lull there. I owe this slowed down impetus to few such happenings like the Salala and Giyari incidents, which gave way to positive sentiments towards our Defence Forces. Nevertheless, the evil twins (media and politicians) have quite successfully sown seeds of discord among our masses with respect to role of military high-ups in particular and the Armed Forces in general, in national affairs. May it be the issue of implicating ISI in the case of missing persons or alleged institutional highhand...
