PML-N expected grand alliance

PML-N after having a clear defeat in AJK elections despite an alliance/seat adjustment with Jamat-e-Islami (JI) has now become fully alert of the future of its politics in Pakistan as well and now looks highly depressed because of political loneliness. Due to arrogance of Nawaz Sharif, PML-Q faction has gone in the hands of PPP and is now enjoying the governance while some other parties like PTI and other members of APDM are already angry with dual policies of Nawaz Sharif who betrayed them on the boycott issue of 2008 general elections. The trust level of Nawaz Sharif has gone very low now among these parties and convincing these parties to form an alliance with PML-N is really an uphill task.
The most surprising part of the story is newly building relationships between two rivals--PML-N and MQM. The two parties had fierce political fights a few months back in which the leaders of two parties even used low standard cheap words against each other, reaching to the family matters!! PML-N always had a stance that MQM is a terrorist party and a mafia while MQM also had a strong aggressive point of view about the origin of PML-N and most importantly about 1992 operation in Karachi under the government of Nawaz Sharif. Watch the videos below to have a glimpse of how the leaders of the two parties spoke about each other just a few months back:
Here is the video in which MQM leaders Haider Abbas Rizvi and Waseem Akhtar are speaking aggressively against PML-N:




Now watch the video below in which PML-N leader Chaudhry Nisar talks cheaply about MQM leader Altaf Hussain:


PML-N also agreed with all parties in APDM that no party will become a part of any alliance with MQM but now it seems that PML-N has changed its stance and all that it was claiming for so long was just a drama and in reality, they can go to any extreme for their political benefits.
Now question rises that what's position of PTI in this grand alliance? Imran Khan has categorically stated that he will never go with an alliance with any such party whose leaders have undeclared assets and hence any alliance with PML-N isn't acceptable at all by Imran Khan and it seems that he will remain away from any such new game by PML-N.
After making an alliance with PML-N in AJK election, now it's very important that what move is taken by JI regarding this alliance. However, so far JI hasn't decided to become a part of any such alliance.

PTI potential candidate from PF-45 Abbottabad (PKPK-45) for upcoming elections

District Abbottabad is considered as a stronghold of PML-N where PMLN has been winning both national assembly and provincial assembly seats for last two decades (except for 2002 elections under Pervez Musharraf in which PML-Q also managed to win from this region). Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan who remained Chief Minister of NWFP (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwah) and also Federal Minister for Railways and is currently a MNA also hails from Village Malkot Union Council Palak located in PF-45 area of district Abbottabad. His son Sardar Shamoon Yar Khan is MPA from this constituency currently while his close relative Sardar Mumtaz was MPA in last tenure from this constituency.
Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) has given clues of contesting against these political giants in upcoming elections and to break the so-called monarchy of Sardar family from the region. Raja Mubeen Ur Rehman Abbasi who was a member of district council in last local government has joined PTI and is expected to get PTI ticket for PF-45 (PKPK 45) in upcoming elections. Raja Mubeen Ur Rehman is a close relative of Raja Mumtaz Ur Rehman Abbasi and is considered as a strong political figure who can really give a tough time to Sardars because of multiple reasons. The foremost of these reasons is a growing popularity of PTI in the area especially among educated youth. Imran Khan's jalsa in Khaira gali about three years back was warmly attended by a large population of the area showing their anger and hatred with the inheritance politicians of Sardar family. Sardar Mehtab failed to provide even basic necessities of life to the people of area and many villages of this constituency don't even have schools, hospitals and proper roads--what to say about colleges or universities.
In such a situation, Raja Mubeen Ur Rehman can really take a good benefit of the situation and can upset the political scenario of district Abbottabad. It's expected that Tehreek e Soba Hazara leader Baba Haider Zaman and other leaders of Sooba Hazara Tehreek will also announce their support for Raja Mubeen Ur Rehman if he gets a ticket of PTI. There are also signs of a seat adjustment or alliance between Jamat e Islami (JI) and PTI in the area so that PTI may support JI candidate Alhaj Habib Ur Rehman for National assembly seat (NA 17) and in return, JI may support Raja Mubeen Ur Rehman for provincial assembly seat.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi and American Operation In Abbottabad against Osama Bin Laden

 After a clear violation of Pakistan's sovereignty by US forces on May 2, 2011 when they did an operation to kill Al-Qaida Leader Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad without bringing it in notice of Pakistan's government and agencies, every patriotic Pakistani has rose a voice against it. There is a huge rage and disturbance in the people of Pakistan. Many political and religious organizations in Pakistan have come on roads to protest on it. First time, army chief has also shown a strong reaction and a clear stance on it by saying that such actions won't be tolerated any more on the soil of Pakistan. However, like always, PPP led Government of Pakistan is silent and confused on the issue and they have totally failed to take the public into confidence. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilana and President Asif Ali Zardari are totally mute on this issue of national interest.
Shah Mehmood Qureshi who is former foreign minister and a senior leader of PPP, today strongly condemned this US action inside the territory of Pakistan and demanded resignation from Prime Minister and President of Pakistan after this failure of our government. This was stated by him in a press conference in Lahore. Shah Mehmood Qureshi further said that he will take up this issue in PPP Central Executive Committee (CEC) meeting and will decide his future plan of action accordingly.
This strong stance of Shah Mahmood Qureshi may further pressurize the government. Today, a high level meeting of president Zardari was held with Army Chief Genral Ashfaq Parvez Kiani to discuss about Abbottabad operation and about Pak-America relationships after this action. It's stated by the analysts that PPP government will have to finally bow down in front of public demands to have clear policy about Drone Attacks and such US led actions inside the borders of Pakistan. If PPP fails to have clear stance on such issues, it will not only lose public support (which is already very little for PPP these days) but also may lose the support of it's own party leaders like Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Raza Rabbani etc.

Marvi Memon and PTI

Marvi Memon is one of the most vocal members of Pakistan parliament and she is known for raising voice for the rights of the people of Pakistan at every platform. Whether it's matter of target killing in Karachi, Doctors Strike in Punjab or Drone attacks in FATA, Marvi Memon has raised her voice strongly for the rights of the people of Pakistan. Marvi Memon is always quick and vigilant in reaching every protest despite the security risks.
  When Imran Khan announced a sit in (Dharna) in Peshawar on 23rd April against Drone attacks inside Pakistan's territory, people from all walks of life and from different political and religious backgrounds welcomed Imran's call and joined hands with him in two days successful Dharna. According to sources, more than 50 thousands people gathered in Naran Chowk Peshawar where they sat for two days, passed night under the sky and chanted slogans against corrupt rulers of Pakistan and unjust policies of USA. Marvi Memon of PML-Q, Javed Hashmi of PML-N, Khwaja Khan Muhammad Hoti (who left ANP a few months back), Akhonzada Chitan who is MNA from FATA and Ajmal Wazir who is also a parliamentarian from FATA joined hands with Imran Khan in this Dharna. JUI-S and Jamat e Islami also supported this Dharna.
 Imran Khan invited Marvi Memon to join Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and people raised heavy slogans in the favor of Imran's request. Marvi Memon is a talented and honest politician whose politices, mindset and political style doesn't match with a party like PML-Q and according to many analysts, PTI can be the best platform for Marvi Memon for her political career. Imran Khan and Marvi Memon, both struggle for the rights of the people of Pakistan and both strive for a just and peaceful society. If we look into the recent Tweets of Marvi Memon in Twitter, it seems that she is unhappy with the alliance of PML-Q and PPP and it's expected that she will raise a solid voice against it. In such a scenario, it's possible that she may separate from PML-Q and find her own way which might be PTI.

Raymond Davis Issue and politics of PTI (Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf)

 After killing of three innocent Pakistanis by Raymond Davis--a US citizen, the politics of Pakistan got a big turn and it segregated the people in two sections: Those supporting the victim families and demanding a strict action against Raymond Davis without any foreign pressure and those having soft corner in their hearts for Raymond Davis due to a strong pressure from US government. The fire erupted more when all of a sudden, in a mysterious manner Raymond Davis was released by government of Pakistan through a court decision stating that Blood money has been paid to the victim families as per laws of Sharia.
 Parties which came on roads with full vigor and strength include Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI), Jamat e Islami and various religious parties. Imran Khan--the leader of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf raised the voice of the victim families in a very strong manner at every platform and he was successful to bring a good number of people on roads in nationwide protests against this unjust killing and then unlawful release of Davis. He led rallies in Lahore and Islamabad himself and his party workers staged protests in different parts of the country. PTI held big rallies in Peshawar, Mardan, Sialkot, Faisalabad, Chakwal, Abbottabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore and Karachi.
 The issue of release of Raymond Davis brought Jamat e Islami and PTI further closer and Syed Munawar Hassan--leader of JI called Imran Khan to have joint protests in Lahore and Islamabad which were attended by a large number of people. The same issue also helped to melt down the ice of enmity and clash between PTI and MQM and Imran Khan's call to Altaf Hussain stunned the political analysts. The two leaders pledged to work together on issues of national interest. Altaf Hussain praised Imran Khan for his bold and just stance on all important issues.
Raymond Davis issue has revealed that Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf has now got a huge popularity in all parts of the country especially in Punjab and Pakhtunkhwah and people have realized now that PML-N and PPP can't solve the problems, rather they can only add to the mess. This issue has also revealed that Imran Khan is the only bold leader who can speak eye to eye with America when it comes to the justice for the people of Pakistan.

Politics in Abbottabad (Hazara)--Current party position in District Abbtotttabad

District Abbottabad is considered as the hub or the center of Hazara division and this district has played a prominent role in the politics of Pakistan in past. Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan Abbasi who remained chief minister of N.W.F.P. (Khyper Pakhtunkhwah) and minister of Railways had been elected from national assembly and provincial assembly constituencies of district Abbottabad multiple times. This district has also played a pivotal role in the politics of Mian Mumhammad Nawaz Sharif as he contested and won national assembly elections from NA-18 Abbottabad II against Baba Haider Zaman and reached to the seat of prime minister. Ex-deputy speaker of national assembly, Sardar Muhammad Yaqoob also belongs to district Abbottabad and he won 2002 elections from NA-18 on PML-Q ticket. Aman Ullah Khan Jadoon is also a prominent figure in the politics of Pakistan who hails from district Abbottabad. He remained Petroleum minister in the era of General Musharraf.
District Abbottabad is considered as a strong foothold of PML-N and the history of past two decades shows that PML-N got majority seats from district Abbottabad in both national assembly and provincial assembly elections. Some people even claim that people of district Abbottabad are so blindly trusting PML-N that even if PML-N gives ticket to some dead horse, people will vote for him. However, a loose stance of PML-N on the issue of renaming of N.W.F.P. as Khyber Pakhtunkhwah has ignited a fierce fire in the hearts of people of Hazara against PML-N and its the first time that people of Hazara including district Abbottabad have come openly on streets against PML-N. People of Hazara are now declaring Mian Nawaz Sharif as a Ghandi who betrayed people of Hazara. In all rallies and Jalsas of Tehreek e Soba Hazara, leaders of Suba Hazara Tehreek are openly lashing and criticizing PML-N for its anti-Hazara stance on renaming issue.
PML-Q has taken the most benefit from the sentiments of the people of Hazara and they have managed to get a good space in the hearts of the people of Hazara. In district Abbottabad, it seems that a new soul has been inducted in the dead political life of PML-Q and now Aman Ullah Khan Jadoon, , Sardar Baba Haider Zaman  and Sardar Yaqoob of district Abbottabad, Gohar Ayub of Haripur and Shah Jahan Yousuf of Mansehra are acting as the leaders of Soba Hazara movement. Baba Haider Zaman has announced recently that Tehreek-e-Suba Hazara will contest upcoming elections as a separate party and its thought by political analysts that If Tehreek e Soba Hazara comes united in next elections against PML-N, it may even clean sweep in whole district Abbottabad.
Jamat-e-Islami (JI) is also striving its best to gain some benefits from this movement but it seems that they are not in any position to fight against political giants like PML-N. JI can get a good number of votes only in case of restoration of MMA otherwise all religious parties may get a divided chunk of votes which is meaningless.
 Imran Khan led Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) is also gaining a good momentum in district Abbottabad as well just like other parts of the country and youth is warmly welcoming the revolutionary agenda of PTI. However, PTI hasn't managed to get support of any notable political leaders of the area and it seems that they wont be able to take PML-N eye to eye if they don't make some strong political alliances with other similar minded parties like JI.

Political Parties of Pakistan--An analysis of politcs of Pakistan

People of Pakistan have been betrayed by politicians of all main political parties and each and every major political party has ditched them through hollow slogans. A political  party deceived them on the name of Roti, Kapra and Makan while another political party begged votes on the issue of Lal Majsid and Dr. A.Q. Khan but later after reaching to the assemblies, both of these parties--PPP and PML-N have forgotten the pains of the masses and are trying their best to fool people of Pakistan. PPP is trying to put blame on past for all the sins that they are doing or the sins that they are continuing. On the other hand, PML-N is giving full support to PPP in all his corruption on the name of safety of system. PML-N has given true practical meanings to the term "Friendly opposition".
  MQM is a party which is known for its power tactics. Just like a fish can't survive outside water, MQM can't inhale oxygen without being in power. The past of MQM shows that this party remained in coalition of each and every government setup in one way or other. Ironic part of this game is that at one hand MQM enjoys power and on the other hand, its remote leader and other party leaders keep on blaming its allies and often raise slogans of Inqilab (revolution). MQM is now trying to expand its horizon and come out of Karachi and Hyderabad to other parts of the country. How people of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwah and Hazara will receive this party is another story. People haven't forgotten the bloody past of this Bhatta khor party which is known for its terror activities in Karachi and which always speaks the language of guns and bullets. The language that was used by MQM leader Wasim Akhtar about Punjab and people of Punjab will be never forgotten by the people of Punjab.
  PML-Q was considered as a spare part of the vehicle of General Musharraf and it was thought of most of the political analysts that this party won't be able to get itself integrated and will soon shatter into pieces but it seems that even after many small differences inside this party, it yet remains intact and strong enough. However, in Punjab assembly this party has been badly damaged by lotacracy promotion tactics of PML-N where a big chunk of the party has been disintegrated and have formed a new group with the name of unification block. Even latest election results prove that PML-Q is yet a major political force. In a recent bye election in Shangla Khyber Pakhtunkhwah, PML-Q candidate Rishad Khan won against joint candidate of PPP and ANP.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is considered as the most rapidly growing party of Pakistan which has gained a huge popularity particularly in youth of Pakistan in past couple of months. Imran Khan is working hard to bring a peaceful revolution in the country against corrupt politicians and he has done a remarkable job so far to expose the real face of corrupt politicians of Pakistan. People of Pakistan have a great trust on Imran khan due to his great charity work and social activities and now they have understood that in the field of politics also, he is the only ray of hope who can save Pakistan. Imran Khan has very clear stand on the national issues like Drone Attacks, War on Terror, Raimand Devis case, price hike etc. It seems that in the next general elections, Imran Khan will give a real tough time to the traditional political forces of Pakistan and will emerge as a major political figure in Pakistan.
Religious parties of Pakistan including Jamat-e-Islami, JUI and Sunni Tehreek are also trying hard to play with the sentiments of the people of Pakistan and bring life back in their dead political horse. We have seen a great unity in religious parties of Pakistan during the issue of blasphemy by Asia Bibi and then during protests against Salman Taseer. Now again all religious parties of Pakistan seem united on the issue of Raimend Davis. According to political analysts, now the religious parties are trying to get public support and they are actually doing election campaign for the upcoming elections on the name of these protests. After separation of Maulana Fazl-Ur-Rehman from PPP coalition government, it seems that MMA will be restored again and nation will be made fool once again on the name of religion by these Mullas.

Soba Hazara Movement Progress So far--An analysis of Soba Hazara Movement

  The momentum of Suba Hazara  Tehreek(Hazara Province movement) seems to be decreasing with the passage of time and leaders of Tehreek-e-Soba Hazara are now not as much active as they were in past year but it seems that now each and every political party is in favor of formation of new provinces including Soba Hazara and a separate province for people of Southern Punjab.

PML-Q has supported Suba Hazara movement from day 1 and they have raised voice for Suba Hazara on all forums including National Assembly and Senate. The top leadership of Suba Hazara movement also comes from PML-Q. One might have dozens of differences with past politics of PML-Q but the fact remains that they rightly represented the sentiments of people of Hazara at the time of this move when PML-N has totally betrayed people of Hazara.
 The role of local leadership of Jamat-e-Islami and PPP remains totally hypocritic as they supported renaming of N..W.F.P. as Khyber Pakhtunkhwah in Senate and National Assembly but on the local level, they are trying to keep their politics alive by showing a support to Soba Hazara Movement. Sardar Idrees of PPP who was previously in JUI-F is showing his full support for Province Hazara. Similarly, local leadership of JI is also taking strong part in all activities of Suba Hazara movement.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has also took an active part in this movement so-far and local leadership of PTI and ISF (Insaf Students Federation) have worked on all forums to speak for the rights of the people of Hazara. ISF Abbottabad has played main role in all Jalsa's, rallies and protests of Suba Hazara movement.

  Current state of efforts of people of Hazara under the umbrella of Tehreek-e-Soba Hazara shows that they will finally reach to their destination and will get a unique identity and it seems that time is not very far when a new province with the name of Soba Hazara will emerge on the map of Pakistan.

Tehreek-e-Suba Hazara Leader Baba Haider Zaman

Personal Details of Baba Haider Zaman:
Sardar Haider Zaman Khan was a former nazim of Abbottabad District in the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. He is a member of the Pakistan Muslim League (Q). He contested National Assembly election against PML-N chief Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif two times but couldn't win.
During his tenure as nazim he shot to prominence for opposing the renaming of the NWFP to Pakhtunkhwa. He criticised the President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari, for referring to the province as Pakhtunkhwa - saying this was unconstitutional and done to please coalition partners.
Zaman said he was in contact with the nazims of the southern districts and all five nazims of the erstwhile Hazara Division opposed the name change. If the district was renamed in line with the proposal from the Awami National Party then, according to Zaman, a creation of a Hazara Province would be justified.
He was also involved in a petition against the provincial government of the NWFP claiming that they were curtailing the powers of district government. In March 2006, five months after a devastating earthquake struck the region, Zaman said repatriation of people from tent villages (set up in the aftermath of the earthquake) might be held up due to lack of resources possessed by the district governments. That year he also supported an initiative to raise awareness of the effects of the earthquake.
In 2007 he criticised Pakistani tour operators for the way the organised the Hajj and Umrah arrangements for pilgrims in Saudi Arabia, he also claimed that the tour operators were fleecing pilgrims and pilgrims were unable to get rid of greedy tour managers.
In 2010 following the renaming of the North-West Frontier Province, Khan has again been prominent by his opposition to the new name, he became the head of the Action Committee for Hazara province - he stated that the new name of the province is on an ethnic basis and so deprived the people of Hazara of their identity. In August 2010 Khan stated that the peope of Hazara would stop payments of utility bills until their demands were met.

Videos of Baba Haider Zaman about Hazara Province:
Watch interview of Baba Haider Zaman in Samaa TV in program News Beat with Meher Bokhari in which Sardar Haider Zaman speaks boldly and logically about the need of a separate province for people of Hazara:




Watch another video of Baba Haider Zaman great speech at Khaira gali Galyat in local language (Pahari) in which he criticized Mian Nawaz Sharif for supporting renaming of N.W.F.P. as Khyber Pakhtunkhwah:
