The political atmosphere of Pakistan has been covered by the clouds of tension in such a way that despite thousands of wishes and aspirations, the suffocation in the atmosphere does not seem to decrease. Though an early drop scene of this drama is the desire of every countryman but unfortunately, the situation does not seem to be improving in any way.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan is firm on his stand that if the election is not held on May 14, the constitution will be broken and powerful forces will benefit. And whether it is PDM chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman or Fawad Chaudhry, there is no element of inclination to resolve the issues from both sides. The defense minister also expressed displeasure at the demands for preconditions, breaking the constitution and quick elections.
On the one hand, the entire political leadership talking about the sacredness of constitution, while on the other hand, they are not ready to follow the constitution. Let alone Rs22 billion even if the Election Commission of Pakistan gets Rs42 billion it will not be possible for it to hold Punjab elections on May 14.
Printing of ballot papers and voter lists with photographs, staff training, placements and other matters are not possible in a short period of two weeks due to which the situation is becoming more and more complicated. So, it may be difficult to hold the elections on May 14 as per the orders of the Supreme Court.
Now, if you look at the negotiation table, all the leaders sitting on it are the leading leaders of their respective parties, however, the difficulty is that PTI insists on the dissolution of the National Assembly for elections on the same day in the whole country, but the PDM not ready to even listen to this demand.
In the context of the situation that has arisen in the country at the moment, if the elections are held in October, it will be a big deal because the ongoing issues will become more complicated.
Here, if we look at the seriousness of the government and PTI, there is very little element of seriousness in our leaders and in view of all these circumstances, there is a strong possibility that things will get worse and more confused. As Urdu poet says.
بلبل کی انتڑیوں میں رگ گل کا پھانس ہے
مصرع تو کچھ نہیں فقط ٹھونس ٹھانس ہے
The interests of the government coalition are linked to each other, so speculations of division in the government coalition are baseless. The major parties in the PDM see this alliance as a guarantee of their security. If Maulana Fazlur Rahman separates himself from the leadership of the alliance, or MQM, BNP and other smaller parties part ways, the alliance may crumble.
Every intelligent person of Pakistan wants things to improve. In the past, the situation has been bad in Italy, Japan, India and many other countries too, but when it comes to economy, no country compromises on economic issues.
Pakistan is currently burdened with debt; foreign debt has reached 131 billion dollars. The IMF is standing on our heads with a sword in hand, people are forced to starve, millions of people do not have food to eat and in such a situation, this is the wish of every patriotic Pakistani that the political storm should stop so that the path to economic stability is clear.
It is unfortunate that the welfare of the poor people in our country has never been the first priority for the rulers, otherwise the situation would not have reached this point. Still, if there is some breakthrough in the negotiations, the economy can be saved from further deterioration.
The International Economic Organization IMF and the World Bank have predicted that the economic conditions of Pakistan will remain the same until 2026, but the question here is that how many people have the strength and ability to deal with these conditions, especially those who are already facing food shortage.
After the police raid on PTI leader Parvez Elahi’s house between Friday and Saturday night, it seems that things may not be amicable between the government and the PTI. And looking at the difficult situation, it is felt that perhaps it will be difficult for the political leadership to reach a conclusion and hesitation will increase and all avenues to improvement will be closed and if that happens then remember it that the politicians will lose the game and then someone else will come and take the control.
