Sanity & Clarity

To its ‘go slow’ policy PML N is certainly moving cautiously over the matters pertaining to the over-stretched state architecture but for the clear headedness of its leader MNS over the right of ‘real governance’ and for his decision to watch over the foreign and defence policies by himself leading anchor Hamid Mir has rightly alarmed about gearing up of the country’s deep state against a government with a clear-cut mandate.

The fears that he has expressed largely relates to the possible creation of unrest in the country’s economic hub Karachi, fanning of spat among nationalist political parties and separatists of Balochistan,  stimulating  a media infight, channelling of black money through renowned mafias to disseminate filth in media and politics.The worries are further lent credence when they are read with: (1) the irresponsible threats of agitation by the political parties that hold power in a major province; (2) news of slander, abduction, torture and elimination of judges and lawyers pursuing high-profile cases; (3) Presidential speech before the parliament, with the particular reference to the essential restrains among the organs of state, emphasizing the need for unification of democratic forces in order to reduce space for  dictatorship and for discouraging anti-democratic clusters .

Albeit, with the vibrant and by and large positive media and assertive judiciary the point to remember is that neither PML N has an anti-national agenda nor the establishment is an adversary of Pakistan.  Only to look for are, firstly, certain elements which either for their whims and biases, personal prejudices and petty interest or for the sake of compliance with their offshore masters slog for the schemas of turbulence, secondly , those gullible and impulsive patriots in us who fell prey to their designs. Nationally, more sanity over and clarity in the actual and the perceived threats is needed, the pulverized and ossified nation can hardly afford such showdowns.
