Divide and rule, the politician cries; unite and lead, is watchword of the wise.
( Goethe )
I was in sixth grade; I asked my social studies teacher a question. "Why a handful British people were able to rule whole sub continent without much resistance " Answer was " They used the tactics of divide and rule: I did not understand the answer and did not muster up courage to ask her again.
Many years passed by and that question still haunts my memory and today after the launch of very successful pre election rally by Sharif Brothers, I got my answer. Despite the fact that scarce pubic funds and Govt machinery was used to make this rally a big figure success, cable transmission was disrupted when local TV channel showed RTA officials paying transporters money in their offices as a payment and this rally was being paid from our own pocket, the real worrying fact is the way Sharif brothers are trying hard to play a role of separatist in the emerging political stage. They have always been monarchs but now they have chosen the Old British Rulers as their political mentors. They are following the footsteps of previous leaders, which resulted in the fall of Dhaka. Their new political agenda is Divide and Rule.
I was astonished to hear these words from Mr Sharif furious speech.
(Step down Zardari and hand over your money otherwise we will hang you and your cronies upside down here," cried Shahbaz Sharif while addressing the crowd. If we can defeat Dengue, Zardari we can defeat you,” Sharif said adding that the president was not aware of the people’s problems and was only concerned about accumulating wealth.)
The News
We all know that during two terms of their rule, Sharif Brothers did everything in their power to satisfy their hunger and this time with all the power and presentation they have, they did not solve our issues. They are equally guilty of all the hideous unforgiving National crimes, which other parties’ representatives did. Their accumulation of wealth across border and manipulation of law and order for their petty goals are evident facts and now they want to hide behind the heavy curtains of blame game for the upcoming elections.
I am not big fan of any of the Brutes ruling Pakistan either in Provincial or Federal Govt, they all are brutes abused the promises and hope . But now this is way more serious. I am not party to anyone , all are brutes and used our ambitions to fuel their own agenda. Equally Federal and Provincial Govt is responsible for our misery but Punjab Govt is taking credit of anything good out of misery including Dengue and blaming everything to the Federal Govt . They are using the tactics of divide and rule. They are dividing the people and fueling their agony with their twisted words and lies. They are so afraid of third force emerging in different forms: A revived youth, former Captain and former dictator that they have decided to unleash this time tested weapon of controlling miserable masses: Divide and Rule, which may result in a movement resulting separation of provinces from federation. Time has come that we ask ourselves and the brutes ruling us to justify our own deeds rather exposing others. We cannot divide ourselves on the point which brute is less wrong, choosing a lesser evil is not the option on the table for our Nation. We have already lost East Pakistan and now we do not have much to loose. Let us all unite; we the people, the people have the power. The power to create happiness! We, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to abolish the idea of Divide and Rule. We will not divide ourselves on National interests and we will not divide ourselves to support the imperials ruling us. Our unity is the only guarantee of not being rules by tyrants anymore. Let us all dream big dream of our unity because small dreams have no power to move the heart of men and change the destiny . Let us all recall the words of Quaid e Azam : Unity , Faith and Discipline .
Pakistan Zindabaad
hmmm...but i dont like any of the present political leaders...sharif brothers or zardari or anyone...no one is sincere to Pakistan.
ReplyDeleteyes thats my point that we must not choose the other side if its tyranny on both sides .. thats important message ... because both sides are using the policy of divide and rule .... cause then their job will be very easy if we divide due to their furious speeches and manipulation .
ReplyDeleteif we refuse to follow one dictator , it means we refuse to follow other as well .. so no brutes from the past , no matter its from which party if we have already tested them ...
but sharoon...who is our representative...no one do anything here. the remainings one neither unite nor they disobey these all rulin ones...still the question remains there...
ReplyDeleteWe dont have representatives because we dont represent ourselves , when did last time one of us tried to represent ourselves , we have shady excuses to stay out of it because it is doomed to be a dirty business ... we are the remaining one .. look no hero is a hero unless in a heroic world ... our is about to become a fertile heroic world , r we ready to be our representatives .... thats the question .... you have the answer
ReplyDeleteProblem is we have limited options ..we get to choose the best amongst the worst!
ReplyDeleteWho ever comes in Govt forms a coalition and hence starts the blame game.Even if faces change policies stay the same...
Lets see how things turn out on Sunday at PTI rally!
@ purpleworld ...Yes thats our dilemma , we have limited options because we dont nurture new options and do not become one as well ...
ReplyDeleteFrench People did not have option ..... A french Revolution
Cuba didnt have option ...... liberation ...
Bosnia dad not have option ... Revolution ....
so list goes on ... and its sadly true we cannot afford crimson revolution , cause brutes will also take advantage of it ... our only option is WE ... so wait for the time when we will have things in our hands and dont wait too long , come forward and take it .... Yes PTI rally is a new breeze , i mean I dont like him on different aspects but I like the idea of third force within the masses , so I welcome him ...
i also welcome imran khan. things have to change now.
ReplyDeleteVery well said... We all say NO to Dengue Brothers, Mr. 10% and IK... You are very much needed in this country.
ReplyDelete@ Tanveer Bhai ... Me nayyyy abhi time hai .. till then we all need to work on the ideology :) and I like the title Dengue Brothers ... I like the promises Mr Captain is making and by God if he comes up with half of them I am his biggest supporter so lets see if he is different or just another brute trying to rise with the promises , best best thing is first time people are not buying everything which is out there in the market .. my only fear is that Imran Khan Tiger may not turn out to be other Jihadees , cause I have seen youth in his JULSAA wearing bandannas saying JAHAD ZINDABAAD ... so may be people still have same mind set and someone is playing with same mind set .. so time has the answer and wait and c then we all make our opinion
