In contrast, when the king wore new clothes, the Danish HansChristian Anderson’s fairy tale The Emperor’s New Clothes came to mind.

Danish writer Andersen used to write stories involving characters from the fairy and Dev Malay world. Born in a poor family, Anderson (1805-1875) became an orphan at the age of eleven. Afaq Adib, who saw the life of poverty in this city, also met the famous British novelist Charles Dickens. In the story “The King’s New Clothes,” Anderson writes about a king who is approached by two impostors who claim to be weavers and skilled enough to make a king’s clothes. Which will be seen only by the wise and this invisible garment will be such that everyone will think the king is the wisest. The king of this story, like other kings around the world, considered himself to be the wisest and wanted to prove to everyone that his choice of clothes is proof of his wisdom. When the day of the public court came, the deceivers came to the king, dressed him as a liar, and thus the king, wearing the imaginary clothes of the imaginary world of words, arrived to see the people. The king’s courtiers were also like today’s courtiers, no one spoke the truth, they also tied the bridges of compliments on the king’s false clothes, the king was married and far-fetched, fake weavers were walking around, but an innocent child, who Unfamiliar with court manners, unfamiliar with the interests of the big people and free from the charm of lies, he looked at the king and loudly said, “King is naked”. Bad courtiers, fake weavers and fools dress up even the king’s nakedness, while the innocent and the foolish speak the truth and call the naked nakedness.

Centuries have passed, today’s kings or rulers also live in the same artificial world where Anderson’s king lives, the same attempt to throw dust in the eyes and the same distance from the truth and the support of lies.

The king of Contradistan was already very powerful, his old clothes were also decorated with authority, but many black-clad judges had misunderstood that they would ride on the horse of fame and thwart the king’s plans, rigging his elections. Declaring it as bad, sage will make Munsif a practical king. But they forgot the words of General Asif Nawaz that it is not possible to challenge the kingship of the one whose chingli (false finger or chichi in Punjabi) can make 6 lakh armed men move from here to there and then what happened to the power It happens in the game, the black-clad judge is nowhere to be found, he was neither given positions nor empowered, his dreams of changing the government were not fulfilled and he could not become a hero. There was a king named Munsif in black, but he could not show strategy like a pawn in the game of power. The situation today is that the king has worn new clothes of power, at this time he is at the peak of power. Earlier, he sometimes felt threatened by the judiciary, sometimes by his own house and sometimes by the captain, who all wanted to destroy the building he had built. But he has defeated them all, emerging from the cycles of expansion and validation, and is firmly seated on the throne of power.

They say that when power and authority come, the responsibilities also increase, the new era of the king has started from today, the biggest stakeholder is himself or his few associates. Now he will have to do all the planning of the state. If he stays away from politics and insists on playing with the old seals, some kid will call him naked. Now, he is the main person responsible for the defects and virtues of the paradox, not Noni or Puple. They have cut off their hands wearing the golden thread of authority, now what has to be done is for the king to do.

The first challenge of the king is security. Daily human losses in Balochistan and Pakhtunkhwa have become a huge challenge. The king will have to think about this issue afresh. In the 75 years of Balochistan war, continuous military operations are making the situation worse. The threats coming from Afghanistan are increasing, neither our friendship with the Taliban nor our threats are working. The king will have to rethink this strategy after wearing new clothes. Political instability and the future of Prisoner 804 also remain to be decided. A new era can begin if the prisoner joins his party in the national government. Reconciliation can happen if the prisoner abandons the desire to dominate and accepts the new system as the weaker partner.

The king who wears new clothes has only one wish that stability comes and the country moves forward. If Tehreek-e-Insaf agrees to remain silent for two years and join the national government, the situation in the country will change today. Believe it or not, the new politics of the king has also started from today, now he will play with the new seals of politics. First, he needed the crutches of Noni and the People’s Party, he needed legal and moral justification for himself from political support, which he got, rather more than he needed. He doesn’t need crutches now, he has a stick. He will shake the political system with this stick and bring in his favorites and new faces and a new political group will be born that will deliver, the king will not be exposed, the king’s clothes will be reduced by performance and narrative.

Another major challenge for the king is the economy. The dream of foreign investment has not been realized yet, and China is troubled by security concerns. The Gulf countries make promises but do not see the implementation. No hope for America. Some new strategies will have to be adopted. The king’s success depends on political and economic stability, if he wants to be seen wearing clothes, then he has to enter the field himself, otherwise tomorrow some innocent and cheeky street kid will say that the king is naked!!!
