Even though much duplication in my this letter compared to the one I
posted here
last time, I apologize, for bothering you. But it has some
additional comments,
which I did not include last time.
I wrote this letter for a paper prior to the one I posted in this
discussion. I just
cut and paste.
My Dear Pakistani Friends
My name is Jawaid Chaudhry.
As we all know, right now Pakistan is going through rough times.
At this time, like all other times in the past, Pakistan is not in
good hands. Many
Pakistanis believe that Miss Bhutto must not be allowed to take
control of Pakistan.
Every one knows that she has twice failed miserably. Like her father
she is not
sincere to Pakistan. It does not fail to amaze me that lots of
people are supporting
her. There is no shortage of even the most highly educated
Pakistanis who wish to
install Miss Bhutto yet again, as the Head of the State. Are such
people friends of
Pakistan?
Perhaps we could visualize the situation with the following
comparison. Imagine a
piece of fertile land, and two farmers A and B. The land cultivated
by yet another
farmer, C, the rightful hardworking owner of the land. Farmer A
would rob the farmer
C and take off, leaving nothing or little in the C'S hand. Farmer C
still has his
land. He can grow something again in his farm. Perhaps he can come
up with an idea
to make it more secure to protect its safety.
Farmer B would also rob the farmer C, but more brutally, leaving
nothing in C'S
hands and before leaving will also burn the land so that nothing
grows in it future.
In this case the farm is destroyed for ever, and so is farmer C.
Given the two options, I think Farmer C will opt, however so most
reluctantly, in
the favour of farmer. A.
As you can guess, I'm suggesting that the current regime is much
lesser an evil than
Miss Bhutto. She wants to finish off what her father started, the
destruction of
Pakistan.
Miss Bhutto is a puppet of foreign forces. Pakistan must not trust
her. I can see
that she will finish Pakistan off in more than one ways. She must be
avoided at all
costs.
This is also no less a relevant time to ask one basic question about
the Pakistani
Political system.
In this current technically most advanced period we have jet planes,
Internet,
satellite television systems, etc. If I live in a remote spot in
Siberia, with
Internet I can communicate with any one on any spot on this earth.
Political,
social, economic and all other information is in my lap [top]. One
can learn and
up-date anything and everything. Same is true about Pakistanis. Yet,
why do
Pakistanis insist on remaining in stone-aged political style?
Why do so many highly educated Pakistanis even allow Miss Bhutto to
be their leader?
Why do so many other educated people claim that Mr. Sharif should be
their leader?
Same question we can ask yet another highly educated group of people
about Army. If
these three people did not exist, would Pakistan also not exit? Do
we not have
another one hundred and sixty million people in Pakistan? What is so
special about
these three "leaders"? Or may I ask what is so un-special about rest
of the 160,
000,000 [but not feudal] Pakistanis?
May the answer be in the Pakistani political system and the general
[education or no
education] Pakistani mentality?
As we see the system today, when there is time for a regime to "go",
suddenly
already tried and badly failed "leaders" show up, and too many of us
allow them in.
The only ones who forcefully with guns in their hands allow
themselves in are the
armed forces. This must change.
This means that system must change. Who will change the system?
Pakistanis.
The system must eliminate the likes of Bhutto, Sharif, fuedals, and
armed forces
exploiters.
Another factor must be considered. That is religion. Religion must
be excluded from
Pakistani political system.
Without going into much detail I recommend for Pakistan
1. Confiscate all the Fuedal's land and make it national property.
2. Make Pakistan a secular state.
3. Mass deregulation is a must
4. Make Pakistan a duty free country
5. Immediately follow the UAE model
6. Immediately make a pact or some sort of pact with Iran.
7. Immediately make a peace pact with India
8. Reduce Armed forces
The above suggestion are only a sample.
Also, very importantly I recommend that leadership be chosen through
party
convention systems, not from top and not through inheritance.
Pakistan does not
belong to one family or few families. It belongs to Pakistanis.
Electoral system
must change.
Who's going to do this? Not Bhutto. Not Sharif. Not at all.
Musharraf? May be. My
recommendation is that he does it. So far Pakistan has not had one
like him. If
Musharraf does not do it, then we must seek another person as
suggested from the
model above, through party convention system. Lots more to discuss
and do about
this, but another time.
I'm sure there are many good people, Pakistanis in and out of
Pakistan. Lets pick a
young man or woman who has a good head, and who has what it takes.
Pakistanis are
ready. Lets unite and go forward.
