According to my proposed plan, the Southern port city of Pakistan called Karachi shall become the Republic of Jinnahpur. This proposed formation of Republic of Jinnahpur shall be in line with the anticipated plan towards Pakistan's disintegration in the best interest of world's peace and elimination of terrorism as envisioned by me in my earlier book titled "DIVIDE PAKISTAN TO ELIMINATE TERRORISM". The name Republic of Jinnahpur is given in view of the fact that Muhammad Ali Jinnah who was leader of Muslim League back in 1940s in the United India and who had struggled for the formation of Pakistan was born in Karachi on December 25, 1876. Muhammad Ali Jinnah's mausoleum is also in Karachi.
"All conflicts are identity conflicts" said John Paul Lederach, Professor of International Peacebuilding at The Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA. This statement is, in my opinion, very conclusive to explain the very nature and significance of all conflicts existing either at international level or regional level. All such conflicts are basically 'identity conflicts'.
In recent years, scholars have taken an intense interest in questions concerning identity. In comparative politics, "identity" plays a central role in work on nationalism and ethnic conflict. In international relations, the idea of "state identity" is at the heart of constructivist critiques of realism and analyses of state sovereignty. And in political theory, questions of "identity" mark numerous arguments on gender, sexuality, nationality, ethnicity, and culture in relation to liberalism and its alternatives. Compared to recent scholarship in history and the humanities, however, political scientists remain undecided when it comes to work on identities. Despite this vastly increased and broad-ranging interest in "identity," the concept itself remains a controversy.
A "failed state" is one that has a "shattered social and political structure". In the words of former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Boutros Boutros-Ghali: 'A feature of such conflicts is the collapse of state institutions, especially the police and judiciary, with resulting paralysis of governance, a breakdown of law and order, and general banditry and chaos. Not only are the functions of government suspended, but its assets are destroyed or looted and experienced officials are killed or flee the country. This is rarely the case in inter-state wars. It means that international intervention must extend beyond military and humanitarian tasks and must include the promotion of international reconciliation and the re-establishment of effective government.'"
The Telegraph newspaper has reported recently in an editorial that Pakistan is a failed state hosting both nuclear weapons and alQaeda's core leadership; a unique combination which makes it the world's most dangerous country. According to the paper, if threats to global security in terms of terrorism, nuclear weapons and the spread of failed states are considered, Pakistan stands at the nexus of all three phenomena. Whoever emerges from the present political maelstrom to lead Pakistan will have to deal with the country's unofficial status as al-Qaeda's heartland, the paper adds. According to the Telegraph, the Pakistani state is so weak that armed Islamist groups have a free rein over large areas. In Balochistan, an ethnic insurgency is underway. In Karachi, Pakistan's largest city and the commercial capital, a ruthless political machine linked to organised crime, is in charge, while Peshawar is seen as the hotbed of Islamist zealotry.
Therefore, Pakistan for all practical purposes is very close to disintegration, and could most definitely be termed as a 'failed state'.
Noted philosopher and political activist Noam Chomsky also recently said that Pakistan was a "paradigm example of a failed state" that had undergone an "extremely dangerous form of radical Islamisation." The country was now in danger of "collapsing" as it grappled with rebellion, militancy and extremism that was "getting worse". Asked to draw a parallel between the situation in Pakistan and the characteristics of a failed state highlighted in his book "Failed States", Chomsky said, "I am afraid to say Pakistan is the paradigm example of a failed state and has been for a long time. It has had military rule, violence and oppression." Since the 1980s, the country had undergone an extremely dangerous form of radical Islamisation, which had undermined a good part of the society, under the Zia-ul-Haq tyranny, he said. "Now it is in danger of collapsing, there is a rebellion in Balochistan, the (Federally Administered Tribal Areas) territories are out of control and always have been and it is getting worse.

In view of this accepted and recognized fact that Pakistan is going to disintegrate any time from now, it is important that all nations living under siege of presently undivided Pakistan's military dictatorship should begin efforts for their respective liberation as envisioned by me in my earlier book titled "DIVIDE PAKISTAN TO ELIMINATE TERRORISM".
Being a member of a family which had migrated from India in early 50s and settled in Karachi, the port city of presently undivided Pakistan, it has now become my duty to caution my friends and brothers back in Pakistan particularly in Karachi to stop dreaming about a united Pakistan. To implement my vision of dividing Pakistan and forming 6 new countries in South Asia by disintegrating Pakistan, I would like to start this campaign by proposing formation of REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR. This book shall highlight reasons, causes and necessary elements for the formation of Republic of Jinnahpur. This is my humble prayer that Karachi should soon become Republic of Jinnahpur. Ameen.
Formation of Republic of Jinnahpur is inevitable as soon as possible before the Pakistan Army decides to launch yet another 1992-like genocide in Karachi. I suggest to Mr. Altaf Hussain, leader of MQM which is the single most influential political force of 'Mohajirs' (Migrants from India who had settled in Pakistan at the time of breakup of United India in 1947) to utilize these precious moments of his life by giving a call for formation of Republic of Jinnahpur by launching Jinnahpur Liberation Movement under the banner of MQM. I hope the people of Karachi will loudly say "YES" to his call.
What I am saying is very simple. Urdu-speaking people living in Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur and other cities in the province of Sindh (Pakistan) deserve their own country. An independent country for Urdu-speaking people will solve their economic problems on one hand and provide an environment of freedom from the military dictatorship of Punjab province on the other. Time has now come that the cruel domination of Punjab must end by all means. The Punjabi military has been ruling Pakistan ever since its inception. The Urdu-speaking great leaders who had struggled for the freedom of Pakistan were brutally murdered as part of the Punjabi conspiracy to hijack the country. It has become inevitable now that Punjab should no longer be given the right or power to continue its control on other smaller provinces of Pakistan. At least Sindhis, Pathans and Balochis have some of their regional identities but the Urdu-speaking people have been compelled to become Sindhis which is not possible. Urdu-speaking people have their own identity and worth. It is not possible for Urdu-speaking people to become part of Sindh. This attempt to make Urdu-speaking people part of Sindh has always failed. This fact that Urdu-speaking people are independent in their thinking and are able to represent themselves more effectively if they are independent, should be accepted and recognized by the whole world. One cannot force a French person to become German or a Czech citizen to become Spanish or a Polish citizen to become Russian, similarly, one should also not force an Urdu-speaking citizen to become Sindhi. Urdu language is much different from Sindhi language. Not only language, there is glaring difference in terms of culture, traditions, national character, vision, approach, mindset and above all religious thinking. Indeed Sindhis are brothers of Urdu-speaking people in their joint effort to get rid of Punjab's political domination through achieving independence of Jinnahpur and Sindhudesh. Urdu-speaking people cannot be forced to stay with Sindhis forever and without their own right of freedom. Both Urdu-speaking people and Sindhis deserve their respective identities through formation of Jinnahpur and Sindhudesh. Both these nations are not ready to remain under the umbrella of socalled Pakistan which is nothing but a political colony of Punjab. This colony must, therefore, disintegrate without any further delay.

If other separatist movements in the world are accepted and acknowledged worldwide, movement for a free and independent state for Urdu-speaking people currently living under dictatorial siege of Pakistan army should also be embraced by the United States of America and other Western nations. If Kosovo can get independence in 21st century, why not Urdu-speaking people of Pakistan can get their own country called Republic of Jinnahpur. Urdu-speaking people are also intelligent, educated, hardworking and politically sound to fight for their independence in the 21st century. Urdu-sepaking people should not be under estimated or considered as any regional minority of Pakistan. Urdu-speaking people represent the most educated class in the presently undivided Pakistan. When it come to educational statistics of Pakistan in the field of education, the contribution of Urdu-speaking people is upto 80%. It must be noted that Pakistan without Urdu-speaking people is nothing but a jungle of illiterates from Punjab and people in uniform who have hijacked this country for the economic betterment of military dictators along with Punjabi bureacracy and their families.

Republic of Jinnahpur shall be an economic capital of South Asia which will beat Dubai and Singapore on one hand and become a great place for foreign investment on the other. The deserving people of Republic of Jinnahpur will have job opportunities because of billions of dollars of foreign investment which is at present hindred because of terrorist activities sponsored by Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and other military sponsored organizations. Such terrorist activities conducted by Pakistan's ISI and other military sponsored militant organizations have rather blocked the economic progress of Karachi which in turn have created hurdles for the deserving educated Urdu-speaking class to invite foreign investment into Karachi. It is only possible if Karachi gets its independence and formation of Republic of Jinnahpur shall ensure that the deserving Urdu-speaking people will get their right of progress and prosperity under the banner of an independent country called Republic of Jinnahpur.

Pakistan has been declared a failed state and therefore remaining part of Pakistan means declaring ourselves as failed too. Urdu-speaking people of Karachi cannot be classified as failed because it is due to them that Pakistan has been surviving so far. Had there been no educated class making contribution towards Pakistan's economic growth in the last 60 years, Pakistan would not have reached to the level where it is now. However, due to its political failure and its inability to remain as a sovereign state, Pakistan is very close to its disintegration. In such a situation, it would not be ideal for Urdu-speaking people to remain intact with Pakistan. Rather, it is important that Urdu-speaking people should initiate their fight for freedom while Pathans, Balochis and Sindhis should follow suit. Republic of Jinnahpur can establish a precedence for freedom of all nations currently suffering under the military siege of Punjab.

When I say "Punjab", I do not intend to include those great people of Punjab who consider themselves as Ghulaman-e-Ahl-e-Bait (Servants of Holy Prophet Muhammad SA, His beloved daughter Hazrat Bibi Fatima AS, His loyal son-in-law Hazrat Ali AS, His beloved grand sons Hassan AS and Hussain AS) and also the Seraiki nation who were wrongfully made part of Punjab province by the cruel Punjabi politicians in order to gain monetary gains by manipulating the total population of Punjab province. Even after 60 years, the Seraiki belt has been economically kept backward while poor Punjabi servants of Ahl-e-Bait were deprived of their constitutional right of serving in the Pakistan Army because of Wahabi-oriented policies made by Asian Hitler called General Zia-ul-Haq back in 1979 which kept Shia and true Barelvi Sunni Muslims away from army jobs. The doors of Republic of Jinnahpur shall remain open for such Punjabi brothers forever.

As for the Pathans, Balochis and Sindhis, I would like to convey my message to them that they should also get up from long sleep. The Punjabi military killed several Pathan freedom fighters, Baloch freedom fighters and even stabbed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto who had brought back home 90,000 Punjabi Prisoners of War. The brutality of Punjabi military can be evaluated on the basis of their one single act that they stabbed and killed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto who was their rescuer from Indian prison. Not only this, the Punjabi military recently killed Benazir Bhutto in order to wipe her off from the political scene to keep the status quo alive. The murder of Bhuttos should be sufficient for the Sindhis to wake up and get their own independence from Pakistan by forming Sindhudesh. Similarly, independent Pakhtoonistan and Balochistan should also appear on the world map in the nearest future.

The Urdu-speaking people are peace-loving people in true perspective. They dont want any confrontation, however, they have their right to defend themselves against the brutality of Punjabi army. The Urdu-speaking people shall not become victim of yet another Operation Cleanup which was once conducted by Punjabi army in 1992. Nawaz Sharif and his Punjabi political team of hypocrites cannot succeed in their conspiracy to regain substantial power again although they have just swallowed a bitter pill of shaking hands with Asif Zardari, a Sindhi man and spouse of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto. It is important that Asif Zardari should immediately understand conspiracy and hidden agenda of Nawaz Sharif and his political team of hypocrites who do not possess any sympathy or love for any nation otherthan typical Wahabi minded Punjabis. Nawaz Sharif is only waiting for the right time to confront Asif Zardari and as such Nawaz Sharif will definitely attempt to get into Pakistan's National Assembly through a by-election and thereafter challenge Asif Zardari and Bhuttos' Sindh-based political party called Peoples' Party. I cannot accept for any reason that Nawaz Sharif or his political team of hypocrites would ever accept any Sindhi, Pathan, Baloch or Urdu-speaking person to become Pakistan's prime minister. This is impossible for any Punjabi hypocrite like Nawaz Sharif to extend his hand for cooperation or affection towards any Sindhi, Pathan, Baloch or Urdu-speaking person in the name of socalled political reconciliation. I ask all the politicians from Pakhtoonistan, Balochistan, Seraiki belt and Sindhudesh not to believe Nawaz Sharif and his false promises of mutual cooperation or other similar sweet slogans. A snake is always a snake. Nawaz Sharif cannot be trusted.

I want all Urdu-speaking people living in Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur and other parts of Sindh to become active members of JINNAHPUR LIBERATION MOVEMENT. This movement shall be non-militant and non-violent in reality. This movement shall be run by Urdu-speaking intellectuals, educationists, workers, students, businessmen and politicians. This movement shall be peaceful and totally committed for creating international awareness about the great demand for an independent state called Republic of Jinnahpur by the Urdu-speaking people living under military siege of Pakistan army.
As it has been established that Pakistan is a 100% failed state and in view of the fact that living under military siege of Pakistan army in the disguise of an artificial democracy which has brought the same old faces of corrupt and cunning politicians from Punjab, time has come for the urdu-speaking nation to get up and acquire their own independent country called Republic of Jinnahpur. In order to achieve this task, there are many hurdles. However, impossible is nothing. Either we fail to prepare or prepare to fail. Urdu-speaking nation cannot afford to remain in such a situation that makes them rather a third class citizen in Pakistan. They are treated as "untouchables" like in India. They have no province of their own. They have no representation in the National Assembly according to their population simply because the powerful political parties from Punjab and Sindh want to restrict their entry into mainstream politics. The illiterate land owners representing the rural dynasty of Pakistan do not want educated urdu-speaking people to outclass them. These illiterate landlords and jagirdars want to keep their socalled superiority intact by depriving people of Pakistan from educational prosperity. They dont want urdu-speaking nation to spread their message of awareness among the masses and therefore these land lords and jagirdars are biggest advocates of status-quo in order to keep their control on the entire system of governance. Pakistan Army is the military arm of such elements which desire their own supremacy all over Pakistan. They dont want an educated urdu-speaking person to destroy their plans of dictatorship whether military or civil.

I, therefore, suggest that MQM being the single political force of urdu-speaking nation of Pakistan should do the following immediately:

1. TO FORM JINNAHPUR LIBERATION MOVEMENT IMMEDIATELY WHICH SHOULD COMPRISE OF URDU-SPEAKING YOUTH, INTELLECTUALS, ARTISTS, BUSINESSMEN, STUDENTS, RELIGIOUS SCHOLARS, POLITICIANS, WRITERS & POETS, JOURNALISTS, MEMBERS OF CIVIL SOCIETY, EDUCATIONISTS AND PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE IN ORDER TO ACCELERATE MOVEMENT FOR ACQUIRING AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY CALLED REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR;

2. TO ORGANIZE A MASSIVE PLEBISCITE AND TAKE VOTES FROM URDU-SPEAKING NATION TO CONSOLIDATE THEIR DESIRE FOR AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY CALLED REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR;

3. TO COORDINATE WITH USA SENATORS, EU MEMBER STATES AND THE WORLD'S TOP HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS IN ORDER TO MAKE THEM AWARE ABOUT THE DEMANDS OF URDU-SPEAKING NATION LIVING IN PAKISTAN AND THEIR RIGHTS OF EXISTENCE WITH A SPECIFIC IDENTITY UNDER THE BANNER OF REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR;

4. TO APPROACH UNITED NATIONS TO SEND PEACE KEEPING TROOPS TO KARACHI IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID YET ANOTHER "OPERATION CLEAN UP" BY PAKISTAN ARMY ON THE PRETEXT OF ELIMINATION OF TERRORISM AND SABOTAGING THE MOVEMENT FOR INDEPENDENCE;

5. TO FILE OFFICIAL APPLICATION WITH THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS TO RECOGNIZE INDEPENDENCE OF REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR AND REQUEST FOR MILITARY AS WELL AS DIPLOMATIC ASSISTANCE OF THE UNITED NATIONS;

6. TO APPROACH MUSLIM WORLD AND DISSEMINATE INFORMATION TO THEM ABOUT THE POLITICAL RIGHTS OF URDU-SPEAKING NATION AND NEED FOR AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY FOR THEM;

7. TO ORGANIZE CONFERENCES, PRESS BRIEFINGS, SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS, MEETINGS AND FORA IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD IN ORDER TO CONVEY MESSAGE TO THE WHOLE WORLD ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE AND NEED OF AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY FOR URDU-SPEAKING NATION IN SOUTH ASIA FOR PEACE AND HARMONY IN THE REGION;

8. TO APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP TO ALL REGIONAL AS WELL AS INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS, GROUPS, TREATIES, CLUBS, UNIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS (TRADE OR OTHERWISE) ON BEHALF OF REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR;

9. TO FORM A GOVERNMENT-IN-EXILE OF REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT IN ANY EU COUNTRY OR USA OR INDIA;

10. TO APPROACH PARMANENT MEMBERS OF SUCURITY COUNCIL OF THE UNITED NATIONS TO SEEK THEIR CONSENT AND APPROVAL FOR FORMATION OF REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR BY PRESENTING TO THEM ALL FACTS AND FIGURES IN SUPPORT OF THE IDEA OF AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY FOR URDU-SPEAKING NATION IN SOUTH ASIA;

SAY "YES" TO FORMATION OF REPUBLIC OF JINNAHPUR

The Last Word
I want all Urdu-speaking people living in Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur and other parts of Sindh to become active members of JINNAHPUR LIBERATION MOVEMENT. This movement shall be non-militant and non-violent in reality. This movement shall be run by Urdu-speaking intellectuals, educationists, workers, students, businessmen and politicians.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Since the creation of Pakistan the Pakistani people are left at distant from the corridor of power, so that the ruling elite can do what they wanted to do in favor of their interest, leaving the Pakistani people at the mercy of circumstances. As this policy is denial of right of Pakistani people to rule their country according to their aspiration and desire to built this country, which can provide equal opportunity to all without any discrimination for the establishment of welfare society. Instead the people were divided in to muhajir, Sindhi, Punjabi, pukhtun and Baloch. Only the society base on tolerance, equality and justice can be the real guarantee for the prosperous and strong Pakistan there for your intention is invited to the crucial movement which could be the point of distraction or disaster. Many innocent people are dying every day-week and every month. Because of bombast, suicide attacks and target killing in Pakistan the factual condition is that nothing happened in this world without any reason, the need of the time is to redress the grievances of the people and eliminate the reason.

The right way to reverence to Martyr is to eliminate the causes after the incidents. If we can redress the route cause after the suicide killing, we can save many lives in future. The only way out is the change of system the route cause of all kind of grievances, the time is to empower the Pakistani at grass route level to eliminate the socio-political injustice and strengthen the unity within the society at large, and closing the door for outsiders or intruder to penetrate in our society because of social unrest.

Unfortunately, despite the significance of the democratic elements, only the power full elite are fitted in power and Pakistani are always left at the mercy of circumstances again and again... As this policy is denial of right of Pakistani people to rule their country according to their aspiration and desire to built this country, which can provide equal opportunity to all without any discrimination for the establishment of welfare society. Only the society based on tolerance, equality and justice can be the real guarantee for real peace and progress in the society. Therefore, Change of socio-political system is inevitable to empower the Pakistani at grass route level for rapid industrial and agriculture development.

Pakistan is not going to last for a long time anymore, as a real Baloch nationl resistance movement is going on in Balochistan which was an independace Baloch state, but was accupied by pakistani military on march 27,1948 at the urge of the then British empire to protect its future interesets before leaving Balochistan.The Baloch are seeking an end to the occupation of Balochistan,

I agree with Ram. After the cessation of Muslim rule in 1757 Polashi india has become lost in the hand of devils. Still now is under dark phase and the chance to recovery is remote. There is no classification like dalit, namashudra, etc. in Bangladesh or Pakistan which comprised united Pakistan before 1971 developed as a separate land for Muslim survival. Whereas Muslims were eradicated India, Proindians and Hidnus survived in Pakistan and they successfully developed the bangla language movement in Pakistan in 1952 and were able to spread idol worship allover the country as Shahid Minars at every educational institutes starting from primary schools to all large and small public places including universities. Now there is no place of bangla in Bangladesh. This was their first tactics which the Pakistani Muslims failed to understand. After their successful disintegration of Pakistan in 1971 they made the 1972 constitution of Bangladesh under the guidance of India and removed all traces of Islam starting from flags to university and board monograms. Now Islam is prohibited in Bangladesh. A doctress, malika begum insulted hizab and removed it from her college. The election of 2006 was prevented to held because there was a (remote) chance of jamat to come into power. Further election is unlikely to be held till the devils are sure that nationalist or Islamic parties are totally disintegrated and anti Islamic parties are coming into power.

Pakistan is previously disunited as I mentioned earlier. And the remnant is now being treated to disappear it completely. Army is being utilized in both the units and the university professor(s) are used as tools to operate on it. Clearly the election must held fairly to establish democracy in a country. But when there is a chance that an Islamic minded party is coming to power, it is being prevented to take place. Pakistan and its previous part Bangladesh thus has become a playground of the evil forces of the world India, USA, USSR, British etc. almost always using power through the UN especially during the India and USSR backed disintegration of Pakistan in 1971. The present phase is but a continuation of the same process.

So this is actually a war between Islam and devil. The progress report is in favor of the devils. Disintegration of Pakistan was done by its army from the beginning, because people of Pakistan were Muslims and total de-islamization was not pulmonary possible as the grass root level. Army and university doctor professors buddhizibi writers and media propaganda are the main weapons to capture the public opinion through election and so these are now being adopted by the devils. The fate of Pakistan as that of Iraq and Afghanistan or Somalia will not be astonishing. As the Muslims are the most backward, unequipped, and un-united nation of the world simple emotion will do nothing in the face or worldwide anti-Islamic aggression to save them from the united nonmuslims (UN).

"A corrupt elected leader is better than a person who has usurped power."

Imagine how lucky you might be, getting both at the same time.

Two in one: prosperity and abundance...

Ithay goroun dey samney kiwain upnay logoun noun buraa bhalah keh rahey oh! chadoo jee

A corrupt elected leader is better than a person who has usurped power. Remember you can vote again to throw the corrupt leader out of power. This will set a cycle of competition to do better than the last guy. Thats what you want - keep throwing these people out till they learn that the people will not tolerate them. This will set the cycle of democracy. In a democracy we get the government we deserve. Pakistan cannot start with a perfect democracy. Even the democracy in the US is an imperfect one. There is no such thing as a perfect democracy - but its the best bet in the long run.

Since, it is a matter of 10-Billion USDollars Package, given by Bush to Mush ( under so-called Regime of ''War on Terrorism'' )- which has never-ever been ''Account-far'' into the Documented Economy of Pakistan, therefore, it is the Core Issue of both sides ( Bush & Mush ) to justify the cost of such huge amount, which now beeing acknowledged by both respective sides, very openly in front of the International-Media ( Officially ).
It was UNOCOL ( Oil Traders ) who also spent the same size amount to buy-out the l.oyalties of the Afghan Warlords, to ensure the realization of the Oil & Gas Pipeline Project ( TAP ).
It is therefore, requested of all of you, to make your comments with dedication for any such just cause, to Re-Fresh the History for its updates. Thanks with Love to All.

As young Mr. Bhutto has said, "democracy is the best revenge." That's often true. However, in modern politics we must often learn to accept second-best, which in this case would be violence.

When people are not permitted to vote for the candidate of their choice, that harms democracy. So each candidate has a responsibility to be safe and stay alive.

Mrs. Bhutto seemed to feel that martyrdom would advance her stature. With me it has not. But with the authorities in Switzerland it has advanced her from the target of an active corruption investigation to merely a corpse.

musharaf is supporting his allie even if they are doing illegal activities to win the elections.what impact of this type of activity will bring environment in pakistan in terms of libral,freedom,broad thinking and patientce ?

The elections in Pakistan have been rigged massively. Voter turnout is poor and women voters are encountering a lot of difficulties casting votes, because of either incompetence of election staff or in accordance with some preplanned design. Violent attacks on opposition election camps of candidates opposing Musharraf was purposely done to discourage a large turnout. Without a credible Judiciary, there is no hope for conduct of free fair polls with Musharraf in power. He has a history of rigging elections and does not tolerate dissent. It is the moderate civil society in Pakistan which is subjected to harrasment by this junta. Eminent lawyers like Aitzaz Ahsan continue to be in detention beyond the 90 days limit and inspite of this the detention continues in violation of constitution. The Chief Justice of Pakistan continues to be in illegal detention alongwith his wife and three children. People of Pakistan have a lot of respect for both Aitzaz and Chief Justice Iftikhar, who have more credibilty than any other political leader.

Asif Zardari, Sujjaat Hussain, Pervez Elahi & Nawaz Sharif are our choices, who are the most corrupt leaders of Pakistan. I agree with Aseem Rana that looking at our leaders, Musharraf is the best choice. Ejaz Ahmed, Islamabad

Even today President Musharraf is the best option for Pakistan & the whole world. He is a straight forward, sincere & honest leader of Pakistan. Our political leaders are all corrupt & not sincere to Pakistan. Asim Rana, Lahore

Some interesting comments from as expected all emotional and unrealistic people. I am no fan of Musharraf but the analysis of the author are spot on. No one will have absolute majority, PML-Q can not be written off (just because you people don't like it) as it survived for 5 years under Musharraf and nothing has changed. I am skeptical on the option of a coalition govt. and if it will be a better option for Pakistan. Please come to Pakistan and face the music and don't post your catharsis while sitting on sidelines and decimating the history. If historian were the best judges than they would have been held in highest esteem in a society, but remember there is no last word in history .. it is just prespectives!

Haider Mullick never makes sense. His articles hurt my head.

Are we supposed to worry about Pakistanti elections when our own are corrupt? The dummies in New Mexico took ten days to count a handful of votes. The riggers in Washington state stopped counting when they got tired and called the election. And then the crooks in New York didn't even count the votes for one candidate. And now a candidate wants to claim victory in two states that were denied participation in the campaign.

Musharraf will stay. Hung parliament. Makhdoom Amin Fahim will be PM. Nawaz Sharif MAY get a post.

The title of this article is STUPID and doesn't make any sense

1. Could people please hit the "Post" button only once?

2. It's unlikely that any leader of Pakistan would do much about any terrorists in Waziristan. It's very difficult and would alienate some small part of Pakistan's population.

3. It's therefore foolish to rely on any Pakistani leader to hunt down Al Qaeda people in Waziristan.

"... create A SEMBLANCE OF credibility..."

Says it all!

Cannot even rise to the level of a semblance of LEGITIMACY...

Well I disagree with the article on two counts. PML (Q) is not a popular political party in Pakistan in any form or manifestation. It is just a crony of the general and a bunch of liars and corrupt leaders (if they really can be called leaders!!!) who came into power in 2002 courtesy of a massive rigging process. If the same rigging process is continued tomorrow, they will come in power again. I believe (and a large proportion of educated people in Pakistan believe) that in case of a fair and transparent election, they could not get 10% seats in any assembly.

Secondly PML (N) and PPPP can (in the event of a fair election) obtain 2/3rd majority to upset Musharraf but then what was the reason to kill Benazir Bhutto? It was to bring one of the most corrupt persons in Pakistan at the helm of affairs of PPPP and make him a crony of Musharraf as well. These two parties can get the required majority and i believe that in case Benazir was not assasinated, she would have dealt a serious blow to the aspirations of the dictator. Now the combined strength (albeit weaker) can still oust Musharraf and his allied PML (Q) but it is highly unlikely as Pakistan has never (and probably never) will get the opportunity to fairly and squarely select their leaders and decide on the fate of their country through a legitimate electoral process. Alas, this country's decision would always be taken in drawing rooms rather than through a ballot box.

I am falling deeply in love with our Mullick's wishfull predictions. Most "Anal ists" keep stuck on their desks without ever venturing out to where people live.

Yes, he is right, we come to find that no one will win anything once we hear el Presidents's Legal Eagle's tape on hrw.org.

Musharaf had Bhutto killed because she was going to reveal to Senators Arlen Spector and Patrick Kennedy that Musharaf was using US aid money to stuff all the ballot boxes. Instead of investigating this well documented truth, the Washington Post has chosen to pander (once again) to the Bush administration who is giving Musharaf the money. Musharaf's ISI worked in cahoots with the terrorists to kill Bhutto. We are nuts to believe that Bush or Musharaf truly wants free elections in Pakistan. Bush wants business as usual. Focus on terrorism in Iraq through the media, and keep going after the oil. Meanwhile, Osama is still safe in the place where he has been safe since he had planes flown into the WTC. Protected by his Taliban followers, protected by Musharaf's government, funded by Bush through your and I's tax money.

As a Harijan-Dalit, I face hell in "India". People spit on me all the time, and can't touch me.

Dalits should not be part of India

Gandhi was a fraud and a pervert who slept with his gran daughter Manu and had multiple affairs.

There was no "Partition". The Subcontinent consited of more than 570 states. The states on the Indus banded together to form Pakistan, the states on the Gangetic plains were forced to join "Bharat".

Today Bharat is a failed state where Nazalites control more than 60% of the land mass, 250 million Dalits live in Apartheid, 50 million White Widows (Hindu widows) are incarerated in Hindu temples and sold as prostitutes. India has the lowest GNP per capita in South Asia, and poverty worse than Sub Saharan Africa.

The failed state called "India" has 89 insurgencies and the 7 sisters in the Norhteast are virtually no go areas for the army

Dont give Pakistanis unviable and unrealistic solutions from your armchairs thousands of miles away.

What a waste this article is; mediocre would be an understatement; rubbish perhaps more appropriate. More than an election or stable government is at stake, this may prove to be the beginning of a radicalized chapter and possibly the start of the balkanization of Pakistan if Musharraf tries to hang to power by rigging the elections.

Pakistan will never be stable until we get rid of religion and educate our people. Teach them to read and write. Education will empower the common man. Over 80 percent of the population can not read or write, this makes it easy for mullahs to lead them astray, and the politicians to swindle them.

Get rid of Islam, in fact get rid of all kinds of religions. It is religion which has caused most of the problems in Pakistan. Too many Islamic factions trying to vie for power. If they can not get the people behind them they go out and kill, and they kill indiscriminately, women, children, innocent bystanders. Elimination of factions like al-qaeda, taliban etc. is of the utmost importance. Islam, according to their version, should be running the lives of the people. They are hell bent in kicking this world into the 14th. century. Interestingly if Islam was such a great religion why so many different factions? Why so many different interpretations?

We all are human beings first and foremost. Religious affiliations are second.

I know Pakistan was founded for the Muslims, but remember it was a political ploy used by M.A. Jinnah to get out from under the subjugation of the British and the majority Hindu population. The vision of Jinnah, Rehmat Ali Khan, Fazlul Haq, Liaqat Ali Khan and the other architects of the country was quite different from what we have today.

agree with Suleman, Mr. Moin needs to dig into history of partition!

a) Donate waziristan and NWFP to Afghanistan and let the Americans clean them up,
b) provide autonomy to ALL provinces
c) resolve the border dispute with India and
d) cut the army budget by 75%

Pakistan needs to do
e) ALL OF THE ABOVE

and it will live happily ever after with its life and economy. Each of the above makes life harder and progress slower and the man on the street more dependent on religion to solve his problems.

"To keep Musharraf in power, or to impeach him, either coalition will need 228 members (about 67%). The only two parties that can join forces to come up with this magic number are Musharraf's PML(Q) and the late Bhutto's PPP."

Mr Mullick seems to be in "Ostritch land",three major Polls conducted recently dont give the Pro Mush PML Q party more then 14% approval (this humber is the maximum from any recent poll)

It seems there are still pro Mush hopefuls who still expect him to bulldoze his way through this crisis as well..Pakistani nation has had enough and is ready to move on.

Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif will bring honesty and democracy in Pakistan? What a joke! Gimme Musharraf anyday over these certified and proven liars.

I could not agree more.Also late dishonest BB & her father thank you Allah for taking their life please send them to jahanam.

Pakistan was born out of the struggle of the Sindhis, Punjabis, Baluch, Pathans and Kashmiris through an irrecocable act of self destermination in 1947. The people on the Indus Valley decided to band together and live together as they had lived together for more then 5000 years.

Who is this ignorant Moin Ansari Pakistan was not born out of the struggle of these Sindhis, Punjabis, Baluch, Pathans and Kashmiris they did not do any sacrifices they got Pakistan in gold plate only people struggle & gave sacrify are Bangali Muslim & Indian Musilm and they were left out.PanjabiArmy,Waderas, Chaudris & Fedueal Lords
got all looted the Pakistan.
