Pakistan Political Parity

The political developments in United States and Pakistan with two leaderships facing similar challenges merit attention.

United States – the Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump is elected to power in 2016. That moment onwards, the Republican President Donald Trump was subject to endless probe, scrutiny and litigations that continue till date.

The January 6, 2021, Capitol incident has been debated, discussed and decided as the last straw among several other allegations and accusations leveled against the Republican President Donald Trump.

Interestingly, as cited many times over in this site and sub-domain, the actual violent insurrection against democratically elected government Ukraine in Kiev in 2014, literally overthrowing the democrat system, the leadership removed at gun point and replaced with neo-Nazi government by then democrat administration in the United States in 2014 is hardly considered relevant.

Notwithstanding, Ukraine in 2014 and thereafter destroyed leading to quagmire in status quo.

Apparently, the United States democrat administration have complete immunity to such violent insurrection in foreign land despite inflicting tremendous deaths and devastation since then revived in 2021 and crashing Ukraine to the point of no return.

Why are there such double standards?

The so-called insurrection in the United States on January 6, 2021 is a crime with many locked up and others facing charges until now.

Whereas the real insurrection on world view in 2014 in Ukraine by United States democrat administration and some bi-partisanship in the act completely absolved of any accountability till date.

All efforts are persistently made with impeachment proceedings to insidious lawsuits albeit politically motivated against then sitting Republican President Donald Trump since 2016 until now continued draining tax payer dollars in the political vendetta for 2016 Presidential election outcome.

The Republican President Donald Trump was forced to contend with political acrimony for winning the election in 2016 against a pre-organized Democrat candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.

In 2020, the Presidential election year, the pre-meditated bio-engineered lab manufactured corona virus pandemic is unleashed having finalized the vaccine deal etc., in 2015 in preparation for the pandemic pandemonium in 2020.

In 2024, the Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump is kept engaged in legal battles brought upon from the past going back nearly four decades ago and whatever could be found to implicate and incriminate the viable Republican Presidential nominee.

The Democrat and RINO strategy designed to prohibit the Republican contender Donald Trump sparing anytime to campaign for re-election to office.

Even going further by promoting the RINO Presidential contender Nikki Haley to prolong self-embarrassment though the gimmick is nuanced at the real target i.e. me ( to conform to ad hominem She-bashing tradition lasting over sixteen years now) who is not even in the political race.

Yet the hideous roadshow casting Nikki Haley is nothing more than a pathetic political gig laughing at those behind the attempt to make their intended target ( i.e. me) the laughing stock.

Nonetheless, the ill-conceived notions and shenanigans are backfiring at the source and the catalyst in accordance with what goes around comes around.

Pakistan – the former Cricket sport Captain turned political leader Imran Khan founded political party PTI – Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf was installed in power in 2018 by Pakistan’s establishment represented by Pakistan Army and Pakistan Intelligence Agency – the ISI.

Previously, the present government seated in power PML-N and coalition PPP in Pakistan were displaced with PTI declaring the Chairman Imran Khan, the Prime Minister in 2018 by the establishment.

In April 2022, the PTI government headed by then Prime Minister Imran Khan was removed from power through no-confidence vote similar to the scenario in Britain unseating two female Prime Ministers – Theresa May in 2019 and Liz Truss in 2022.

The United States democrat administration direct involvement along with Pakistan’s establishment besides the Indian incumbent leadership in New Delhithe combined intrusion led to the ouster of PTI leadership Imran Khan in 2022 is irrefutable.

It was proved by the ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan publicly sharing the document from Washington to Islamabad when asked for proof by Pakistan and western media on the former PM Imran Khan’s statement in this context.

The Indian incumbent leadership had problem with PTI leadership Imran Khan’s governance producing positive impact in economic front and better COVID management compared to India in the latter issue.

In India during the pandemic, the factory and construction jobs workers from northern and central states like Bihar and Madhya Pradesh were left to die including their families i.e. many children and women in the ill-prepared lock down, all of whom succumbed to Indian summer sweltering heat.

The workers’ desperate decision to return to their villages and towns back home in the absence of New Delhi central government’s assistance such as safe transportation and access to food etc., caused many preventable deaths in India other than millions dying from the virus.

The United States, India and Pakistan establishment collaboration in removal of PTI leadership, generated political unrest and chaos in Pakistan in 2022 and remain contentious till date.

Pakistan experienced massive rallies and demonstrations against such undemocratic dismissal of ruling PTI government with their leader Imran Khan surviving two assassination attempts and one of them resulting in serious injury with the bullet hitting the foot of the victim requiring hospitalization.

The PTI chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested in May 2022 citing insurrection charges like the Republican President Donald Trump alleged association with Jan 6, 2021 Capitol riot termed insurrection.

The nationally acclaimed PTI political party was dismantled and the party symbol – the cricket bat uniquely identifying the PTI leadership and former Cricketer Imran Khan was delisted in the ballot paper.

The PTI candidates, workers and their leader were all imprisoned on mostly politically determined allegations and charges with no due legal course or representation.

The National election in Pakistan was held on February 8, 2024 with PTI unconstitutionally and undemocratically denied fair participation in the national election and the party name, symbol and candidacies deprived from being identified in the ballot paper. They were essentially debarred from the electoral process.

The electoral mandate on February 8, 2024 handed PTI majority seats in the National Assembly amid obvious vote rigging and manipulation reported other than PTI candidates disallowed from party representation and electoral participation.

The PTI candidates ran as independents and became Pakistan electorate’s preferred choice to govern the politically beleaguered state.

It so happens, Washington, New Delhi and Pakistan establishment reject Pakistan’s overwhelming electoral mandate to PTI regardless of unfair restrictions and unlawful impositions on PTI candidates and the political party including the chairman Imran Khan who is still in prison despite winning national election in the most constricted situation.

Meanwhile, the PTI leader’s spouse from marriage in 2018 also subject to solitary confinement with statement from the spouse on food adulteration producing severe health issues with request for medical treatment not approved by the relevant authority are some disturbing details presented thus far.

Like the Republican President Donald Trump’s legal entanglement, the PTI chairman Imran Khan was slammed with more than 200 lawsuits largely lacking in legal and ethical efficacy as confirmed by PTI leader and the legal experts representing the defendant.

The same conditions and in many cases extreme actions against PTI workers, party representatives, human rights, social activists as well as their families are reported from Pakistan.

The current government and leadership appointed in Islamabad is internal and external interventional policy based appointment much to the frustration and disappointment of the Pakistan electorate who took the time, efforts and many risked their lives to legitimize election and democracy by casting their vote to PTI.

Upon careful evaluation of political events in the United States and Pakistan though it might be argued as not necessarily identical in terms of democratic settings, the constitutional based democracy in the United States had been upended a while ago with reference to “Constitution as a mere piece of parchment.” by the one running the incumbent administration in the White House via proxy.

Nonetheless, the political impediments faced and endured by the opponent Donald Trump in the United States and,

Likewise the power seizure from Pakistan’s PTI in contradiction to Pakistan electorate explicit mandate to PTI are significant violations of a democratic system.

Not to mention the role of democrat administration with behind the scene operative exerting authority in the United States and overseas viz. Pakistan initially ejecting the ruling PTI government and Prime Minister Imran Khan in April 2022 and then purging Pakistan’s electoral mandate to PTI with unelected and electorally defeated members and political factions are egregious and fraudulent.

The unlawful extension of power by any means especially resuming office via running mate from earlier terms and conducting affairs to suit personal agenda not excluding Gaza genocide impulsively motivated to deter leaderships in the United States and Pakistan struggling to restore and revive democracy.

The power mongers in the United States and India indulgence in Pakistan is testament to their opposition to strong popular leadership to lead the respective nation towards the path of economic growth, development and national peace, unity and security.

The spoiler tactics in the United States and Pakistan are regarded potent sabotage against effective leadership and efficient governance that are conspicuously persona non grata i.e. unwelcome.

The ambition on lifetime occupation in office prevalent among power mongers, the derailing of democratically elected leaderships or prospects securing clear electoral mandate are maintained to protect personal and vested interests ignoring the ramifications on citizens and the nation at large in the bargain.

The United States Republican President Donald Trump and Pakistan’s PTI leader and majority vote winner in February 8, 2024 national election Inran Khan inarguably are inconvenient to incumbencies in the United States incognito behind the administration and India’s hardline fundamentalist abusive leadership and abysmal governance.
