With a lot of scandals, each more horrible than the other, it is terribly difficult to decide what to start. From the alleged plan to end the Gaza conflict to the report of the Group of Observers of the Commonwealth, which has been made public after a criminal period of more than 18 months, to the episode of Shama June, it seems that the unconstitutional and illegitimate government is finally falling apart.
The Trump plan for an agreement in Gaza is mainly an attempt to legitimize genocide. It has already taken more than 65,000 lives, including children, born and those who are still in the belly of their mothers. The brutal and barbarian Israeli military assault, which extends to almost two years, has reduced the entire strip into expanding debris without any distinction between work areas and residential rooms.
Not to mention the aggressor and if it would be considered to account for this unprecedented genocidal perpetration, no plan to establish a Palestinian State and not given a thought to provide relief and postpone hungry and besieged people, all exercise is presented as a neocolonial advantage aimed at cutting down a lethal presence in the region to push it to permanent ancestry.
The capitulation of all the Muslim leadership of the region is under acute public scrutiny and seems that no one will escape an accusation. How could one accept a plan that does not guarantee the rights of the Palestinian people to their own independent state, and how, even in its indescribable misery, it could be challenged to accept the draconian agreement within a certain period of time stipulated or prepare for total annihilation? Is the dead world conscience? And why have Muslim leaders sold their souls?
Accepting the Trump plan by the Pakistani government together with praise of its architect is to spray salt on the wounds of the Palestinian people and all those who have been hierically fighting for an independent state as a matter of their inalienable right. The world, including the United States, through an agreement or another, has been stamping its approval for a Palestinian state in the past, which is now depleting without a pinch of compunction.
And Imagine: A Tony Blair, someone who should be in the beech to face charges for committing heinous crimes against humanity for his role in the war in Iraq at the request of the United States, has been proposed as head of the Gaza International Transition Authority. Obviously, it is never the one with a minimum of consciousness to guarantee human rights, it is presented as an appropriate election among the criminals aligned to continue the wave of genocides against the Palestinian people. When commenting on the proposed appointment, someone said on a recent television program that this choice only reveals that Satan was not available for work.
One understands that, due to the policies that the State has followed in recent years, it is vital for its western support, particularly that of the United States. But, in doing so, you must also reflect that, by making strategic commitments of considerable proportions, its own sovereignty and independence will be seriously proved in the next times. This is what history teaches us, but it seems that we are reluctant to learn from it and we are currently committed to raising a castle about fantasy stories of being the favorite partners in this nefarious game plan.
The reason why the State is behaving shamefully subordinatedly dates back to the content of the group of observers of the Commonwealth on the general elections of Pakistan of February 8, 2024. It has been published after a criminal period of more than 18 months, and that also, only when its contents were leaked in the site of gout. The Telegraph reported the news as “Commonwealth helped the Pakistani elections.” The report only confirms the worst fears of one over how badly and blatant the elections were handled for the benefit of certain parts, with the apparent intention to keep the most popular party and its leader outside of power.
In addition to making recommendations to carry out a comprehensive review of the Pakistan Electoral Commission and its operation in several spheres, the report lists numerous critical steps taken to unfair disadvantages of one part. This encompasses problems about the electoral process during the traffic phases, day of choice and post -election. It is a lethal accusation of the entire electoral process.
The group considers fallacious the notion that security must come at the expense of democracy. Continues to elaborate even more than: there must be a clearer demarcation between military and civil authority in line with the constitution of the country and international law. That the political parties and all the organs of the State, including the army, must establish new rules of commitment that guarantee the holiness of democratic institutions and processes, regardless of the limits of the political maneuver. And that the Judiciary should be able to act free of external pressure.
The report has also listed dozens of steps that interfered with the possession of free and transparent elections in the country. These are related to the restriction of fundamental political rights, limiting the PTI’s ability to play elections, pre -electoral steps that affect the concept of a leveling playing field that includes the non -assignment of the bat symbol to PTI’s candidates, limiting journalistic freedoms, even in relation to discourse and granting impunity to the perpetrators of a culture of a culture of a culture of a culture of a culture of a culture of a culture of a culture of a culture of a culture Violence, and the informed arrest of PTI of journalists with some of the journalists of journalists. disappearance.
The closure of mobile phones on the night of the elections and state control of the ruling party on the media significantly reduced the equity of the electoral process and impacted the efficiency of the delivery of results, which may have compromised credibility, transparency and inclusion of the electoral process. A series of discrepancies were observed between the outlines of the voting station and the forms of tabulated results at the circumscription level, which may have turned out that some candidates are illegally returned.
This is a report as represented as anyone can be. After its launch, the fraudulent elections of February 8 are stripped of each fragment of credibility and legitimacy. The State is naked in the court of people whose mandate stole to raise a lot of favorites in the seats of power. Pakistan is poorer for this rude act of fraud, deception and deception.
Manipulation inside leads to weakness outside. This is a time for severe introspection. In the absence of political and strategic political and consistent stability, can Pakistan allow him to continue sliding down the precipice? It is necessary to think of a corrective strategy. One must face the reality that the existing system, without a minimum of legitimacy, cannot sustain the challenges that are coming. An urgent and significant course change has become vital before irremediable damage accumulates.
