When a storm passes, a hurricane subsides, or a flood recedes, the immediate response is to manage debris and repair damage. November 26 has passed, now what is left must be saved and what has been lost must be restored by repair. More disintegration, more chaos, more fighting, more rallies, processions and sit-ins should be stopped now, the federal government should end its plans to impose Governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on the other hand, Ali Amin Gandapur should also be removed from the government machinery of the province. Along with this, the series of attacks on the federation should be stopped. The patience of the federation and the authorities has been exhausted. If the intention is to attack Islamabad again and then think of gathering the capital and storming it, then it has been decided that governor’s rule will be imposed in Pakhtunkhwa. . The will of the state, but the opinion of this insignificant person is against it. The war against terrorism is going on in Pakhtunkhwa. In such a situation, the situation will worsen by taking away the power from the most popular party of the province. Therefore, there is a need to increase understanding between Ali Amin Gandapur and the Federation.
Gandapur says in public and in private gatherings that he has to do what Khan says, someone should go and explain to Khan that he has a lot of vote bank in Punjab as well, there is central Punjab. Not a single person came out, not even a procession was seen. Even in Karachi, you used to have a good vote bank, not even a caravan came from there, the overwhelming majority of all, 35 thousand, came from Pakhtunkhwa and the only reason for this was the presence of your provincial government there. If it continues, PTI will face the same situation in Pakhtunkhwa as it has in Punjab and Karachi. The provincial government is like a strong fortress for the political party, Tehreek-e-Insaf should not in any case create conditions and reasons to destroy its own provincial government.
The three most important elements for any protest, sit-in or procession are organization, resources and leadership. There are many supporters of Tehreek-e-Insaaf in Punjab and Karachi, but they have neither organization nor resources nor leadership there. Due to the party government in Pakhtunkhwa, there is organization and discipline, it is not easy to gather 35 thousand people. can be Then the biggest problem is resources. Where did the transport come from? Who will pay the rent? Who will manage the food of all these people? All this is being done by the provincial government, that’s why these processions are successful. If the money of the provincial government is not used, if the resources of the government are not used, then this group can never come together, nor can it move forward and then the last thing is the leadership. The leadership of Punjab is either hidden or afraid. Karachi is also in a bad situation. Ali Amin Gandapur sometimes cleans up the halls of power and sometimes goes to Adiala Jail to assure his loyalties, because of this double game he still retains his power. And because of this skill, the illusion of PTI and the provincial government is established, otherwise the decisions from the top and bottom are coming in such a way that the powerful and the government take extreme measures in Pakhtunkhwa. The decision to implement Governor’s rule will not prove good for any one of the government, Muqtada and Tehreek-e-Insaf. Whether Gandapur is loyal or treacherous, suspicious or beyond suspicion, spotless or tainted, the bitter truth is that he is the only person in Tehreek-e-Insaf who is in constant contact with the government and if Imran Khan has to make a deal, some way. If you want to take out or get any relief, then it is possible only through Gandapur, Bushra Bibi’s release was also possible only with the guarantee of Gandapur.
No one can stop the powerful and the government from their decisions. It may be that they impose Governor’s rule on the example of Tang Awad Bajang Awad so that the attacks on Islamabad are stopped, but it would be better to establish a working relationship with the Pakhtunkhwa government. The first argument against not imposing Governor’s rule is that despite the tension and fighting in the current setup of Tehreek-e-Insaaf, the provincial government is a stakeholder, therefore it is also a part of the system and it is important to keep it a part of the system because it is in the people’s hands. It is very popular, it is not fair to ignore Tehreek-e-Insaf. The second argument is that to whom should power be taken from Tehreek-e-Insaaf? The governor belongs to the People’s Party, he is domineering and educated, but the People’s Party is very weak throughout the province. ANP used to be very strong, still its supporters are present everywhere, but even if it is included in power, it will not benefit the ruling party.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s party was also badly defeated in Pakhtunkhwa. Their second problem is the Taliban. They agree with the Taliban intellectually and religiously. They will attack them, so they will hesitate to take power themselves. The third argument is that in the case of governor’s rule, no major civilian leadership or party will be able to become an alternative, so the ruler will have to take over the province directly. The fourth argument is that Tehreek-e-Insaf and Muqtadra have a million differences, both are united against terrorism and Pakhtun nationalists and no force can replace them. These are some of the reasons why he is opposed to the insignificant Governor’s rule. Governor’s rule is a constitutional measure but it is against the spirit of democracy.
In the end, it is submitted that now there is a need to move towards decisive understanding, consensus and reconciliation, Imran Khan could not bring revolution by force of people, cannot establish permanent peace by force of powerful force, both have failed in their goals. The path to lasting peace and stability is not in war but in reconciliation and reconciliation.
