Is It A Good Decsion By Tehreek-e-Insaaf To Let Shah Mehmood Qureshi In?

By Sikander Hayat
Today PTI conducted a jalsa in Ghotki, where Shah Mehmood Qureshi joined them. This is same Shah Mehmood who was Finance Minister of Punjab in the government of PML(N). He left Pakistan Muslim League and joined Pakistan Peoples Party and became foreign minister of Pakistan. He was also the Nazim of Multan in the time of Pervez Musharaf. His father Sajjad Hussain Qureshi was the Governor of Punjab in 1985 under the Martial Law government of General Zia-Ul-Haq. To keep the long story short, what I am trying to say is that this person and his family has been eternally in governing structures of Pakistan. Bringing him into the fold of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf will test the resolve of Imran Khan as the leader of the party and as the head of this anti corruption movement.
These people are the feudal lords of Pakistan and want to keep governing the peasants in one way or another. Shah Mehmood saw very clearly in which direction the wind was blowing and was desperate to jump on the band wagon. It is now very clear that Imran Khan will be a very powerful figure after the next elections even if he cannot make government at the federal level. He has a very good chance of forming government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and to some extent in Punjab. In Balochistan, he is trying to form alliance in the Pashtun areas with Mehmud Achakzai and in the Baloch areas with the baloch nationalists. It will be very hard for him crack rural Sindh but Karachi & Hyderabad are there to be taken from MQM or may be in alliance with MQM. Imran Khan must make sure that everybody ( no matter who they are) follow the principles of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf or leave the party. There must not be any allowance for corrupt practices of the past to carry on. If that means that at some point people like Shah Mehmood Qureshi needs to be thrown out of the party than so be it.

India: The Terrorists Within

A day after major Indian cities were placed on high alert following blasts in the IT city of Bangalore, as many as 17 blasts ripped through Ahmedabad, capital of the affluent western Indian state of Gujarat . Some 30 people were killed, some at hospitals where bombs were timed to go off when the injured from other blasts were being brought in. (Later, in Surat, a center for the world's diamond industry, a bomb was defused near a hospital and two cars packed with explosives were found in in the city's outskirts.) Investigators pointed fingers at the usual Islamist suspects: Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Bangladesh- based Harkat-ul Jihadi Islami (HUJI) and the indigenous Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). But even as the police searched for clues, the Ahmedabad attacks were owned up by a group calling itself the " Indian Mujahideen. " Several TV news stations received an email five minutes before the first blasts in Ahmedabad. The message repo...

Pakistan Army Must Not Intervene In The Current Crisis - Who To Blame For the Present Crisis in Pakistan ?

By Sikander Hayat Another day of agony and despair as Pakistanis live through a period of uncertainty but still I believe that army must not intervene in this crisis. These are the kind of circumstances when army need to show their resolve of not meddling in the political sphere of the country. No doubt that there will be people in the corridors of power and beyond who will be urging the army to step in and ‘save’ the country but let me tell you that country will only be saved if army stays away and let the politicians decide the future of the country, even if it means that there will be clashes on the streets of Islamabad. With free media in place, people are watching with open eyes the parts being played by each and every individual in this current saga. They know who is right and who is wrong and they will eventually decide who stays in power when the next general election comes. Who said that democracy was and orderly and pretty business ; it is anything but. Democracy ...
