First of all let me acknowledge that I am PTI sympathiser so our PMLN patwari friends can call me youthia if they want.
I am sure all of us have been witnessing the events & the dramas unfolding in front of our eyes in the name of Election in the last 24 hours.
Last night when the results started pouring in with PTI leading towards absolute majority, many like me were not surprised at all keeping in view the mood of the masses & all the opinion polls suggesting the same.
what was surprising was the way the results were matching precisely what was showed by all the opinion polls & mood on the ground.
for a second, I had doubts that probably our Military junta reached some kind of agreement with PTI leadership to not temper with the election results.
I also thought that, may be finally, our generals decided to respect the will of the people after seeing the massive turnout but soon I was proven wrong when they got back to their old ways in a blatant fashion with the whole world seeing the farce live on their screens & social media.
For PMLN Leadership to Ponder - was it a coincidence that the generals allowed the true election picture to emerge & then turn it around literally on demand to favour PMLN with the massive rigging?
Did it not occur to them that it was a genuine ploy to show to PMLN its true worth among the masses and then show to them who the real bosses are?
PMLN has been shown this horror movie by the generals purely to keep them on the leash for as long as they want and the reason is simple, to scare its leadership off to such an extent that they are pliant partners in the dirt these generals have dig themselves in.
Going by the mood of the public, these generals will be out soon and in all probability will be severely punished for their crimes. the reason is Pakistan has changed for good and its not going to go back to its old ways.
PMLN as a political party has to make a decision, whether they want to stay afloat as a political entity in future or ready to go down with these generals.
PMLN leadership should think wisely why the masses went so badly against them. they need to understand the reasons why they ceased to exist as viable political force in a matter of just few years.
They can still make mends by openly refusing to accept the dirty offer these generals are making to them.
they should openly accept their election defeat & ask the forces that be to let the masses decision prevail. it will regain lots of goodwill for the party among the masses. infact they will have a narrative to sell to people come next elections.
in the short run, they will struggle, will lose badly but they will be able to claim back its status as a political party who stands for democracy.
Keeping in mind the myriad problems faced by the country today, chances are that PTI may not deliver and soon PMLN might be back to contentions but today if they decided to stand on the wrong side, they will be a history.
