THE PTI RALLY AT THE FAMOUS MINAR e PAKISTAN ON MARCH 25 2023 WILL GO DOWN IN PAKISTAN's POLITICAL HISTORY AS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EVER. IMRAN KHAN'S DETERMINATION TO PUSH FOR EARLY ELECTIONS HAS STRUCK A CHORD WITH THE NATION. HIS PARTY IS A TRULY FEDERAL PARTY UNITING AND UNIFYING THE DIVERSE PEOPLES OF PAKISTAN. THE MASSIVE CROWDS WHO HAVE RALLIED TO HIS CALL DESPITE ALL THE BARRIERS PLACED IN FRONT BY THE PAKISTANI ESTABLISHMENT IS TRULY AMAZING. HIS POLITICAL NARRATIVE OF HAQEEQI AZADI OR REAL FREEDOM HAS CAUGHT THE IMAGINATION OF THE NATION . AND IS TERRIFYING HIS POLITICAL OPPONENTS INTO A PANIC. HIS LEADERSHIP CAN ONLY BE MATCHED WITH MUHAMMAD ALI JINNAH FROM THE 1940s. HIS PTI IS THE WORLD's 6th LARGEST POLITICAL PARTY IN ONE OF THE MOST POPULOUS MUSLIM COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD.
IT WAS HELD IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF POLITICAL VICTIMISATION AND HARASSMENT BY THE EXISTING POLITICAL AUTHORITIES. UPTO 1000 PTI PARTY WORKERS HAVE BEEN ROUNDED UP, THOUSANDS OF HOUSE RAIDS, CONTAINERS BLOCKING ROADS, INTERNET OUTAGE TO STOP THE RALLY, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION CURBED AND MEDIA COVERAGE BANNED.
HIS NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL MOBILISATION HAS TERRIFIED HIS POLITICAL OPPONENTS INTO A PANIC. THE CORRUPT CIVILIAN DYNASTIC BUSINESS AND MILITARY REGIME BLOODSUCKING THE NATION DRY SEES IT'S POTENTIAL DEMISE. THE DELAYS TO THE ELECTION WHICH HAVE BEEN POSTPONED TO OCTOBER 2023 ARE BEING CHALLENGED IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PAKISTAN. IT NEEDS TO ASSERT IT's AUTHORITY AND IMPLEMENT THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE.
THE INITIAL REACTION BY THE PROXY GOVERNMENT TO THE POWER SHOW WAS TO DECLARE HIM AS AN ENEMY AND THREATEN TO PHYSICALLY ELIMINATE HIM AS THEIR OPTIONS HAVE RUN OUT ON HOW TO DEAL WITH HIM. THE DELAYS TO THE ELECTION WHICH HAVE BEEN POSTPONED TO OCTOBER 2023 ARE BEING CHALLENGED IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PAKISTAN. IT NEEDS TO ASSERT IT's AUTHORITY AND IMPLEMENT THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE.
THE VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS BY THE PROXY GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO BE RAISED GLOBALLY BY THE PTI. POLICE STATE ACTIONS AND THREATS OF ASSASSINATION BY ANY INTERIOR MINISTER IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SANCTIONS MUST BE BROUGHT INTO PLAY. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY NEEDS TO STAND UP TO BANANA REPUBLIC POLITICS AND PRESSURISE THE SHARIF PROXY GOVERNMENT TO ABIDE BY THE RULE OF LAW AND CONSTITUTION OF THE COUNTRY. IDEALLY SANCTIONS ARE REQUIRED ON THE CORRUPT LEADERS INCLUDING FREEZING THEIR MISAPPROPRIATED ASSETS IN WESTERN JURISDICTIONS AND RETURNED TO PAKISTAN.
IT IS CLEAR THAT THE BATTLE OF WILLS BETWEEN PAKISTAN's PEOPLE AND ENTRENCHED OLIGARCHY MOVES ONWARDS TOWARDS A CRISIS. PAKISTAN HAS ARRIVED AT A DEFINING MOMENT IN IT'S HISTORY AS IT HAS A POPULIST AND POPULAR LEADER WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION BEHIND HIM. THE PAKISTANI ESTABLISHMENT NEEDS TO REALISE IT'S MONOPOLY POWER SHOW IS COMING AT AN END. IT WILL BE MAKING A FATAL MISTAKE IF IT CONTINUES WITH MEASURES TO SABOTAGE THE PAKISTANI PEOPLES WILL AND MAKE THE PEOPLE ANGRY. AS THE PENT UP RAGE OF 70 YEARS WILL ENGULF ALL AND SUNDRY.
THE OPTIONS OF BOTH THE RULING ALLIANCE AND OPPOSITION ARE BEING NARROWED. THE OPTIONS FOR THE POLITICAL PARTIES TO BE EITHER IN JAIL OR IN POWER AND GOVERNMENT IS DANGEROUS. THE POLITICAL PARTIES NEED TO GROW UP AND LEARN TO COEXIST IF THE NATION IS TO PROGRESS AND DEVELOP. PAKISTAN's ABSENCE OF THE RULE OF LAW , LACK OF CIVILIAN SUPREMACY AND THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE NEEDS TO END. THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY BREAKING THE IDOLS AND CHAINS OF FEAR WHICH HAS IMPRISONED THE NATION SOON AFTER INDEPENDENCE.

THE incumbent government seems to be having great trouble asserting itself while remaining within the limits of the law. With the interior minister making it clear that he is willing to go to any lengths — “democratic or undemocratic; principled or unprincipled” — to counter the PTI, he has just confirmed the worst fears of political analysts and observers who have been warning about Pakistan’s gradual slide towards totalitarianism.
‘There are no laws and no rules’ binding the government any longer, to paraphrase Rana Sanaullah. In other words, the PDM government will abuse state power if it needs to in order to neutralise the once again resurgent PTI. “It is us or them,” as the interior minister quite candidly explained in a recent interview during which he made these remarks. This hardly bodes well for national stability.
However one may interpret Mr Sanaullah’s statement, the PML-N is clearly struggling to counter the PTI politically. It may not acknowledge this, but the large rally in Lahore’s Greater Iqbal Park late Saturday was a clear enough message that using state-sanctioned violence to cut the party down to size does not appear to be working.
The rally was, by most independent accounts, quite well-attended despite the Punjab administration’s efforts. The arrest and disappearance, respectively, of two prominent young faces in the PTI — lawyer Hassaan Niazi and head of the PTI’s social media team, Azhar Mashwani — reports of the detention of lower-level party organisers and their family members; police raids at supporters and sympathisers’ homes; and the willy-nilly blocking of Lahore’s roads with containers and other impediments on the day of the rally all failed to have a chilling effect on the PTI’s supporters. No wonder the interior minister feels frustrated.
Brute force only looks like an ‘answer’ where politics fails. We saw this when PML-N activists were rounded up in July 2018 to sabotage the PML-N’s electoral chances, and we see it happening to a different set of actors today. In both cases, the forces behind the campaigns of abduction and harassment appear to be the same.
In both cases, the shameful acquiescence of civilian leaders — clearly hoping to derive political benefits from the violent repression of their opponents — allowed rogue actors to expand their influence in the political domain. Mr Sanaullah — himself a victim of the state’s excesses — should have known better.
The enforced disappearance of Mr Mashwani and other workers, regulatory bans on the media’s coverage of the PTI, frivolous arrests of political workers and unleashing the police on the citizenry will not win the PML-N any ‘free and fair’ elections. Instead, they will worsen the anarchy that the interior minister himself concedes is prevailing in the country. Perhaps Mr Sanaullah should consider setting better precedents rather than repeating the mistakes of the past.
