The Zardari-Gilani government is playing a cruel joke on Pakistanis. This government, which everyone should know is a US-installed puppet regime born out of a 'deal' knitted together by American and British diplomats, is pushing Pakistan to suicide. In return, this government promised us billions of dollars from its British and American allies. Now these allies have vanished.
We have more than three million Pakistanis homeless [thanks to the Americans] and none of the money promised by America and its allies has been delivered. We are left dealing with a massive humanitarian tragedy affecting our own people. The government ordered a military operation [which is every bit right] on the basis of American financial commitments.
Now the finance minister Shaukat Tarin is warning that if America and Japan don't come up with aid, Pakistan will go to IMF.
What kind of a joke is this? Who runs IMF, Mr. Tarin?
When this Zardari-Gilani government goes, Pakistan will end up irrevocably shackled by IMF and World Bank, under indirect or covert US occupation, and with a huge mess on our hands, with more poverty, crime and overall collapse. Make no mistake about it.
Is this what most of us want? Where is the Long March for this more noble cause compared to the lawyers’ movements where all of them were dealing under the table?
Do we want our homeland to end up like this?
Is this good? I still believe that showing the middle finger to the Americans and extricating ourselves from Washington's disastrous and failed war in Afghanistan remains a better option.
We Pakistanis will have to kill these CIA- and Indian-backed 'Pakistani Taliban' and Baitullah Mehsud, but not without also shutting down secret US bases in Pakistan. All honest Pakistanis must throw this demand on the faces of these politicians wherever they see them, and push our military to end its protection for this whole corrupt system.

its a pity that 'Peoples Govt'(emphasis added) has no economist cum politician to lead finance ministry. it had to 'hire' a technocrat, that too a banker and not an economist, to do the job, who has nothing at stake. after 5 years, he will just brush his collar and buzz off, leaving behind millions of people to suffer. where is the democracy and enchanting slogan of PPP Roti Kapra aur Makan ?
ReplyDeletei would prefer shoukat aziz over present govt only because he maintained some order in financial matters. he maintained dollar at Rs 60 no matter how........kept the stock market to all time high figure of over 15000 points....... controlled the inflation, which i dont care how........ its a total lie if someone says that present financial situation is only because of his policies....bull shit.... if he could do it why cant 'Peoples Govt' do.......... he was much better choice............
