DESCENT AGAINST
THE ESTABLISHMENT
LT COL NOEL ELLIS
21/VI/2024
Pakistan presented its budget in
their Parliament a couple of days back of some “cahubees arab or kharab crore’.
My ears are still ringing hearing that figure. Can the Pakis count? I doubt.
Their health care budget has been
slashed, so has the education budget. However, their developmental budget got a
booster shot. That is where the ‘moola’ is.
It was no surprise that their ‘Military
budget’ has been increased by almost 4.5 %. Obviously, they call the shots,
though they lost all wars, including half their country. Now, the terrorists they
trained are playing merry hell with them. Serves them right.
Both our countries became
independent together. Where are they and where are we? The five A’s (Allah,
Army, Amreeka, Afghanistan and Arab) and one C (Cheen) have consumed them so
badly that they cannot surface again, economically, politically, and
militarily.
Add to the woes the 2xTs, who are
now engaging with them on a daily basis. The ‘Taliban’ whom they trained,
funded, nurtured, and encouraged and ‘taxes’ they are levying on the common man
of Pakistan.
‘B’ wants to separate, ‘KPK’ is
fed up. People of ‘K’ are agitating for freedom. The western ‘I’ doesn’t see
eye to eye and the Eastern ‘I’ doesn’t want to engage. Poor guys are stuck
between the devil and the deep sea. ‘Implosion’ and if need be ‘explosion’ of
sorts.
To add to their distresses, I
heard a few of their “selected” representatives airing their views on their pitiable
state of affairs. Their so-called budget session was more of a ‘confession and stark
reality’ to their ‘speaker’ who cannot speak.
Their ‘Ieen’ or constitution of which
they haven’t implemented even an iota, so their parliamentarians claim, came
into being in 1974. It took them 27 years after gaining independence to make
one. Poor guys did not let even one Prime Minister complete his or her full
term. From Ya Ya Khan to Musharraf and beyond, it was the uniformed who ruled
overtly or covertly. Now they want democracy.
Plus, they went nuclear and keep
telling the world that ‘sadde kol pau kilo ke jauhri bamb hain’. What will they
use it for? May ‘Allah’ give them wisdom. Ghar main nahi hain dane, amma chali
bhunana.
Their ‘debt trap’ is mounting by
the day. The interest on their loans is what they are manipulating to repay by
borrowing from you know who. China and the Arabs are not buying their excuses. US
has stepped back.
Plus, they are printing money, a
cause of rising inflation. Chadar utni failo jitne pair hon. They don’t have a
chadar or charpai but the “boots” want more.
$ is not in their control. Oil is
being smuggled through Iran border under the very nose of their security forces
openly. Atta is beyond the reach of the commoner. Rates of electricity are sky
rocketing at 62 rupees a unit. Thus, ‘Dakaiti’ (looting/arson) is on the rise,
were some of the confessions of their ‘nominated’ representatives.
Extortion mafias are being run by
militant groups which mushroomed with the blessings of their establishment. Policing
is at its very low. Corruption is unstoppable and they dream of ‘Kaid-e-Azam’s
la-la land.
Their parliament passes only those
bills/budget which is thrust upon them. Who runs the country then? The politicians
I heard were of the opinion that the ‘Establishment’ has to get out of the
‘Jamhuriat’.
The MNAs have no powers but the
Army can run real estate businesses, decide posting of bureaucrats, run bakeries,
industries etc. Retired officers make huge farm houses on canal fed land. They have
properties abroad, children study abroad, they take treatment abroad, leaving
the common Pakistani to look up to Allah and Mullah.
The parliamentarians questioned
the ‘Karkardagi’ and ‘Hiqmat-e-Amli’ of the security forces and want them out
from the governance loop. One even went to call the establishments doing
‘goondagardi’.
In the name of security, the
forces are putting the common man to discomfort and inconvenience. They pick up
people at will, carry out killings and no one is held responsible. Public
dissent is growing against the establishment.
The privileges of the privileged
need to be cut. The VIP culture, the protocols their elite enjoy, the pay and
perks the parliamentarians take need to be slashed, were some of the measures
suggested. Charity begins at home, and parliamentarians need not be paid from
the exchequer, one said.
The growing hate for the establishment,
the uneasiness and suffocation of parliamentarians, besides the rising prices,
mounting debts, inefficiency of the military to eliminate ‘dahsahtgardi’ is now
brewing and echoing from their parliament. The mood is beginning to change for
their good, I hope.
They wanted to start afresh after
a complete revamp of how the state needs to be governed to get their awam out
of gareebi and gurbat (poverty) for which they need tarbeeyat (education). Earlier
the better, otherwise, Sannu Key.
Will their
establishment allow such voices of descent? I wonder!!!!!!
